Value

2. Ridiculously overpriced; no way to make a case that it’s a good deal

4. Not such a good buy unless it has some feature you especially want/need

7. A good deal, better performance/features than you’d expect for the price
8. A great deal, although it’s possible you could find a better one
9. A fantastic bargain for what it offers
10. An unbelievable steal
