Nothing like the senior partner at this law firm I consulted at who got conned by his son into getting the a bleeding edge gaming rig for work "because he'd need it for multiple monitors and video calls" so said son could scavenge it from his dad in 3-5 when the business life cycle demanded a new computer. I did not make any friends (as someone with a vested interest in the firm's success, also the son is an entitled dick who's never had a job) with the son when I told the partner that a plato like he bought could last him a decade with proper maintenance.
