Yeah, I'm hoping I can have the self control lolDo what I do: do an outrageous amount of research, then make a strong decision to not make a purchase until a hella good sale. That way when the sale comes you're educated and prepared for it but it feels like someone else made the decision for you, so the pressure is off.
One thing that always boggles my mind is that every laptop always seems to have some sort of reasonably large drawback, to the point where it seems like OEMs almost intentionally avoid making a perfect laptop. For example, the Asus Zephyrus G15 seems almost perfect (performance, size/weight, battery life) for my needs, but I would love if it had a brighter display option, less of a chin, and a webcam. What's that? The Zephyrus M16 is literally the same chassis but with the improvements I just described? Oh, but it's Intel not AMD, so it's got worse thermals and (more importantly) worse battery. Why couldn't they just leave the AMD inside?
To be honest - and this is very much a me problem - I would probably have much more self control if there was a perfect laptop, because then my research would end soon after it started and I wouldn't feel the sunken cost fallacy lol
Anyway wish me luck with my fixations and impulsiveness
