@PurpCat @mischievoustomato @Moon @adiz I wouldn't be retarded and play games on a laptop screen, I'd have the storage connected to my Thunderbolt dock at home and also my 27 inch monitor and that's what I'd game on. So I wouldn't carry it around. But it's not like it would be very bulky to do so in the first place. See attached photo.

> SSD dies

Apple will replace it because I have AppleCare and even if I didn't have AppleCare I'd pay them to do it anyway

> DFU mode

well if it's DFU mode from a bug not hardware failure you can just use another Mac to revive it. Don't want to wait for an appointment with Apple for repair? It's easy:

1. walk into apple store
2. buy laptop
3. take home
4. use laptop with thunderbolt cable to recover laptop stuck in DFU mode
5. walk back to apple store and hand them the laptop you bought and ask for a refund which they will always give you with ZERO questions asked.

I've done this several times before. Broken laptop for work but Apple needs me to mail it in to a repair center? Go buy a new one and return it as soon as your repaired device is back.

The people begging for new Refurbished options will thank you and it's a nice way to fuck Apple over because they lose money on that
