| Budget-conscious users                  | Other brands offer better entry value

🔚 Final Verdict: Straightforward Answer

But… if you value long-term support, system stability, user experience, and resale value,
then “the price might be justified.”
If you're after affordable value or customization freedom, Android and Windows are still compelling choices.
