Is a MacBook Pro worth the money when I can buy the same configuration for half of the price? Why?
Macbook Pros are far cheaper than any Windows computer, if you do the math right. Compared to my Windows-bound co-workers:I reboot my machine about once a month instead of once a day.I can shut the lid any time I want to without fearing my OS will freeze.I spend zero hours a year battling viruses and malware.I spend zero hours a year installing device drivers and dealing with hardware issues.My laptop freezes only about once a year.When I need to kill an application. It dies. First time, every time.Switching between applications is significantly faster.This saves me per year, about 20 hours in productivity.The average revenue per employee in a software company is about $200k in the USA. Number of hours worked per year is 2000. So each employee, on average, needs to generate $100 per hour in revenue. Even for an average employee the Macbook Pro saves about $2000 a year in productivity. A Macbook Pro will last 3-4 years, giving you a $6-8k saving. If you are a senior software engineer you are probably looking at $10-20k. Subtract that from the purchase price and it actually saves the company way more than it costs when compared to a Windows laptop.In my position I estimate the cost of my MacBook Pro to be $4000-5000, and a Windows laptop would cost the company $20,000 to $55,000.

Is it worth buying a 1st gen iPad?
Apple stopped supporting the original iPad, so once you reach 5.1.1 you’re stuck there. Even 5.1.1 pushes it; the original iPad tends to be very sluggish when running 5.1.1 compared to its’ performance with previous versions of iOS.While it’s not the most practical choice, the original iPad can still be useful for select purposes. Here are some uses for an original iPad. If the things on that list are the extent of your needs and you can find an original iPad at a decent price, then go for it.
Is it worth paying the repair costs for my macbook pro?
I sent my macbook back to get a cracked trackpad fixed. My laptop is still under warranty as it's only a few months old and so the repair was free. I then got a call saying they had found water damage and I had to pay £270 to fix the component. I then got another call saying they have found more water damage and it will now be over £700 to fix. When I said there was no way I could afford that they said they could offer me two options. I either pay £358 for the original water damage repair (which was originally quoted at £270) and have the trackpad replaced, or they send it back as it was when I sent it in, trackpad still cracked. I asked if I could simply have the trackpad fixed and take my chances on the original water damage, or if he could send me a photograph of the damage found before I pay out for the repair. I am currently waiting on a phonecall as he had to go and ask whether this would be a possibility. I don't know why I can't have the trackpad fixed since that was a fault on the machine and under warranty, without paying for the water damage. Ps, the water damage came from a spilled cup of tea that happened the day before. My laptop has covers across the entire machine and keyboard. If any liquid spilled inside, it would have been minimal amounts that had got in through the back vent. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated, I simply want to make sure they're not taking me for a ride since they know I'm an art student with no clue about computers. Thanks!
