Re:Don’t buy the MacBook Pros even on sale, in my opinion by sdhgaiojfsa on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @04:36PM (#16925846)
I try to keep spares of anything mission critical. I get that computers are expensive, but you owe it to yourself to make sure that your productivity cannot be broken by a single object's destruction or absence.

(That doesn't mean you need a spare new macbook pro. An older device that is maintained, and a good environment setup process, is sufficient.)

I do have a spare, but really I shouldn't have to invest time in setting it up over such a seemingly trivial issue.

Expensive things can break too, or even arrive DOA which has happened to me.
