When it's getting repaired, you don't have access to that same laptop. For professionals, it's a waste of time and an interruption to our ability to output.

Some people won't care about that. Some do.

I bout a full spec XPS 9560, the second time my '16 MBP went in for repairs. The same generation CPU, the same storage (2TB) and double the RAM... and it's $1000 less than the full spec MBP.

I wonder how long before a lot more folks come to the conclusion that Apple premiums aren't worth paying anymore.

Doh. I can't type. "bout" should clearly say "bought" <nerdface emoji>

I just run a restore from a Time Machine Backup and wipe it before giving it back.
