I take advantage of Apple's no questions asked return policy for stuff like this:
Take my laptop in to be repaired, buy a brand new MBP at the same time. Load everything onto the new laptop using a time machine backup (takes about 2 hours), and use that while they're repairing my laptop.
When my laptop is fixed, I pick it up and return the one I bought at the same time for a full refund.
It's a bit of fuss making sure I keep the 'free-hire' laptop completely pristine, but it's fun to use a brand new machine every so often.

- itomato 8y agoIt could also be that this is an imaginary "solution" to a "real" problem.
- cdolan 8y agoI have done this in the past and its the way to go for sure.
