A Moto G also has more technology than a Nakajima WPT-160 typewriter (which is still in production) but the latter costs more. Comparing "technology for the buck" across totally different kinds of products and markets sometimes just doesn't make any sense.

The point isn't for it to make sense necessarily, it's just simply an interesting thought and not one that always needs a logical answer in every case.

I recently bought 4 wooden chairs that costed me more than that but there is significantly more technology in a Macbook Neo

Exactly and its just interesting to think about that such insane engineering has gone into a product that costs less than 4 wooden chairs. Yes it can be explained logically but its just an interesting thought.

Those 4 wooden chairs don't stand the chance of turning into a brick, though.
