We all know what it’s like to have an aging laptop. The hardware once robust shows signs of wear from all those trips where you lugged it through airport security. The fan wheezes, the battery life is twenty minutes, you plug in to the mains now, and the once speedy processor lags.
You have been ignoring the problem for months, perhaps years, but now you have an extensive project and you’re on a deadline. You should really replace it, this old laptop on which you have relied for the last few years and whose quirks you know. But replacing it, when you’re under pressure, is stressful. You don’t need the hassle of recalling passwords, re-downloading apps, navigating the updates. There’s a long history which you only wipe after googling an ex. So you have a choice: you either fire that old laptop up, hold your breath and hope for the best, or you stump up for the replacement, knowing that even with help from Apple’s Genius Bar, there may be unforeseen issues that may delay you.
