I saw a funny situation today where a person was saying how he bought a new computer that has a lot of high end software such as Adobe Photoshop as he expressed it was a good deal and figured it was better than the lesser powerful options that was available. Not surprisingly, he couldn’t really figure out how to use it as isn’t exactly meant for the average consumer. So while granted the software was a lot more powerful, buying the lesser powerful version that was designed more as a pick up and go type of solution would have been probably better.
This reminds me of things like cameras too where people buy based on what they read on paper in terms of which one is more powerful and has more features yet they neglect to think first if the item itself may be too complicated for what they need and do. It doesn’t hurt too I’d say to simply try and find a way to test things out first to see if it suits you. At worst you can probably find a lot of video reviews too in order to get a feel if the item is way over your head or not. Better than spending a thousand dollars for example on something that will either end up in the closet or having to spend another thousand dollars to learn how to use it when something more simple would do.
