> unless you're in business class.

If you can afford one of those devices for around 3500$, isn't this almost a given?

I think that my personal PC and everything in my homelab is worth under a half of that.



Not really. Business class can easily have that much of a premium for just one roundtrip international flight. Lots of people would consider buying an expensive computing device they'll get a lot of use out of without also paying thousands of dollars extra every time they fly.


I've spent at least $3500 on my gaming PC, and I may even get an AVP, if the reviews are extremely good. But I would never fly business class unless my company were paying for it (which they only will for international flights ... and we're strictly US-only). It's absurdly expensive and the delta over coach is minimal.


Business class tickets often cost more than 3500 above than coach ticket for a single round trip.
