If I need a laptop ASAP, I would buy a MacBook Pro and use Time Machine to back it up continuously. Then I would pick up a used MacBook Air for $700 to keep as a spare. If you can’t afford to be without a laptop for a few days, you can afford that expenditure, most likely.
Or, if one wishes to self insure, maintain only one laptop and buy another one at the Apple Store the same day yours breaks. Sell the old one back to Apple once it is repaired. Slightly more expensive, but you can defer the cost until the event.
Always backup continuously.
- vaylian 3y agoIf your strategy is working for you then that's great. I do wonder why you need a new computer every 3 years, but I don't know your personal circumstances. The things you do might actually make perfect sense. But for me personally, you lost me at "Macbook": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cNg_ifibCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cNg_ifibCQ Then again, life is often about tradeoffs. For me, Framework offers the best tradeoff.
