Buy yourself Apple Care+ for your MBP. No need to baby it.
- izacus 4y agoOh, so pay extra on top of already absurd price...
- dymk 4y agoWhat comparable would you buy in place of a MBP?
- izacus 4y agoI ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro, which was significantly cheaper in my market and comes with a gorgeous OLED screen. But, of course, the situation varies between market and time since there's significant pricing differences.
- somehnguy 4y agoWhile it is OLED, it's also unfortunately only 1080P resolution. When I was comparison shopping before picking up my MBP the displays were always the sticking point - tons of great specced laptops with disappointing screens compared to what Apple offers.
- gambiting 4y agoApple care+ isn't available everywhere. Here in Poland a basic Air is about 1.5x national average monthly wage and apple won't sell you apple care+ for any apple device(you can only buy regular apple care which is just an extension of original warranty,nothing more). So yes, if I had one I'd also baby it.
- aix1 4y agoAnd besides, there's nothing wrong with looking after things we own, instead of treating everything as disposable.
- AdamN 4y agoSure. There's really not giant risk of damage though. I don't use a case and my mbp has been going from home to office and around the city for four years with just a dent in the corner to show for it. MBPs are very hard to damage if you just keep it in a sleeve in your backpack and don't have liquids right next to the keyboard :-)
- auggierose 4y agoIf "looking after" means not using your thing for what it was made for (in this case, carrying your laptop around with you), then everything is wrong with it.
- aix1 4y agoNo, I mean just being careful with it.
