    It’s worth it to not be doodling around with some fartbox Lego computer company. Every 8 years or so I don’t even think about what laptop I’m going to buy, I just go to the Apple Store website, max out the specs, and pick it up in a week. Beep boop I’m done. If shit breaks, they fix it. If something isn’t right they make it right. My life improved greatly once I decided to stop cheaping out on stuff I use.

      I just did that and it ended up being $6499 USD. Idk about you, but that’s a bit steep for a laptop to my taste. Id rather buy a $2000 laptop and if it breaks I can literally buy another one while still spending less, or just use the warranty.

        I’m on my laptop for hours and hours every day, if I get 5 years out of a $6.5k laptop it’s about $3.50 per day, it’s even cheaper when you can wait longer because you got top end shit. Plus you probably don’t have to worry that gateway or compaq are going to be out of business.
