Levenger Analogy - Your thoughts?
Scott Elias | Feb 2 2007
I'm a bit envious. My mom who lives in South Florida is going the Levenger store today. I turned her on to the Circa system and showed her Doug's reviews at DIYPlanner so she's going to check things out. When she asked me what was so special about Levenger's stuff, the best I could come up with was this: Levenger is to low-tech as Apple is to high-tech. Sure, I'm an unapologetic Apple fanboy, but it does make sense. It may cost a little bit more, but you're getting superior quality and attention to detail. So what do you think? The above is my opinion only - please let's not have any Mac bashing... 8 Comments

Not having a mac, I can't really argue for or against :) Levenger products, like so many other "luxury" items, have a measure of quality and detail that create a better user experience. I tend to compare them to a custom-made suit, a bottle of fine wine, a quality shaving soap, or a high-end luxury sedan. Sure, you can get by (and quite happily) without such things. I know I do on a regular basis. I don't need a shirt-pocket briefcase or a leather-covered circa, or a fountain pen. I could just as easily be productive with a legal pad, stack of index cards, and a supply-cabinet ballpoint - and my wallet would thank me. But so-called luxury items have that "look forward to" quality not found in the everyday. Ironman, I agree. » POSTED IN:
