It’s reasonable for a high-end bleeding edge processor. Some of them are a couple hundred dollars more. It’s more than I’d spend these days, since computing power is so great that even the 20th-30th most powerful processor will do everything you need it to do, but some people are willing to spend a fortune to have the best of the best.
This 120 Watt processor will have a suggested retail price of $479 USD.
Not terrible, but not great. Let’s see if they’re actually available at that price.

“What’s wrong?”
“You keep pestering me when I want some quiet time.”
You’ve got to be realistic about things.
Brandon Sanderson wrote a novel about this.
I would assume that over centuries or eons, you’d amass enough wealth and power to comfortably circumvent those sorts of things. If you’re not running the world after living for 2000 years, then you’re a ley-who-say-her.
Does your consciousness evolve to Godhood, and you reach back beyond time and create the universe which birthed you?
Without getting into the heat death of the universe and all that, I can think of something that happens much, much sooner. I’m only middle aged and I already don’t like where the world is going. Can you imagine being centuries, or eons past the era you identified with? Can you imagine how insufferable young people and old people alike would seem when you have centuries worth of life experience and wisdom? Can you imagine a horde of little edge lords on the internet confidently yet incorrectly telling you about the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when you were there when it was signed?
You’re still going on about that? They were only noodles, Michael! Noodles and rice. Tell me, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?
That’s a mealworm, and they make great fish bait, or lizard food.
Piss off a basement dweller who makes it his mission to find you in real life and destroy you. That’ll definitely ramp up your precautions again.

I requested a Windows machine at work a few years ago, because the specs were amazing, and I was getting frustrated with Mac OS. After using the Windows machine for a couple days I was reminded why I don’t like Windows anymore, and returned the machine, despite its amazing specs. It just wasn’t worth it.
W00t!
Thanks. Can that still be installed on Windows systems?
Somehow iOS confused my technology illiterate mother, but she knows how to use Android.
“Do you mean the Internet? I use Bing.”
What ever happened to Open Office? That used to be the defacto replacement to Microsoft Office. I haven’t used office tools on a personal computer in over a decade though, so I’m very out of the loop there.

If it makes you feel any better, I can afford to, and still don’t. There’s really no point anymore. You can spend half that and still get a processor that’ll do literally everything you want it to do with overhead to spare. Benchmarks are well past the point of actual use now.
