My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs

I have a gaming desktop, personal laptop(which I almost never use), and a work laptop. Why would anyone have 10 devices? That is craziness.

Do you have a machine for SQL? Machine for mobile? Machine for web?

I have:

* Personal workstation/gaming machine

* Employer provided work laptop (MBP)

* Surface Go Tablet used for reading around the house, light travel, etc.

* Personal Dell laptop used for longer travel

* Old desktop converted to a server for running services I always need up.

* A rpi 3b used for running services I want to physically separate from the internet accessible main server.

I've considered repurposing some old hardware I have laying around into a htpc type thing for gaming/emulation on my TV, but that's on hold right now due to GPU pricing.

So I'm not far off 7. Other tech-heavy users may have seperate devices for their spouse/kids, or dedicated devices for specific OSes (my main workstation is a dual boot, my laptop is linux only and the tablet is windows only). So I can see a path to 10 for others.
