How to Buy Tech That Lasts and Lasts
When we buy a gadget these days, we rarely assume that it will endure. However, the reality is that consumer electronics, such as your phone or computer, can last for many years. It just takes some research to obtain tech that will endure. This exercise will be increasingly important in a pandemic-induced recession, which has forced many of us to tighten our spending. Here are some questions to consider for the long run.
【R1】________________________
The next time you shop for an electronic product, try this exercise: Before you buy it, find out whether you or a professional can easily fix it. If so, then go for it. If it’s too difficult, make it a hard pass. Several approaches to assessing whether a gadget can be straightforwardly fixed are offered. You can check if local technicians can service or find out whether there’s a community of enthusiasts.
【R2】_______________________
Like household appliances, tech products have failure rates—the ratio of working to defective units. These rates can give you a sense of a brand’s reliability. Consumer Reports, well known for publishing reliability ratings for household appliances, compiles similar reliability data for smartphones, laptops, TVs and printers by surveying subscribers who own the products.
【R3】________________________
Another rule of thumb to consider is investing more in a product to make it last. That doesn’t mean you have to buy the most expensive phone or computer on the market. But it does mean investing in configurations that will make you happier in the long run. Let’s use an iPad as an example. If you wanted an iPad, you could pay $ 329 for the base model. But it’s probably a better idea to spend $ 429 on the model with larger storage, which you can use to hold apps, games, photos and videos for years to come.
【R4】________________________
Because many modern gadgets, like smartphones and tablets, mostly lack moving parts, their software plays a strong role in determining their longevity. After a company stops providing software updates to a device, you can expect to run into problems. This is where an iPhone has an edge over an Android. Each year, when Apple releases a new operating system for the iPhone, it generally works on phones as far back as five years ago. That means when you buy an iPhone, it will probably get new features and stability improvements for at least five years.
【R5】________________________
Many so-called smart home gadgets—ordinary appliances with wireless sensors and an internet connection—offer interesting benefits, like a refrigerator with a camera that sends an alert to our phone when the milk is running low. Just keep in mind that smart home products can create more problems than they solve. A trash that automatically opens its lid when you wave your hand over it maybe magical, but it relies on batteries and moving parts that eventually wear out. It all comes back to buying what you truly need. Sometimes a "dumb" product will do just fine.
【R4】
选项
答案
C
解析
下文中提出“After a company stops providing software updates to a device, you can expect to run into problems”,即“在公司停止向设备提供软件更新后,您可能会遇到问题”,由此可以推断本段应该是讨论软件更新的问题,故本题答案为[C]。需注意选项[F],虽然本段中提到了stability improvements“稳定性改进”,但与产品的稳定性关系不大,因此[F]属于迷惑选项,不能选择。
