WOW WHAT 3!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes nice! 2nd hand is important to have. I still have my 1st macbook pro, but needs repair the logic board. OOF. Maybe i will buy some extra one too. BATTERY SUCKS, needs fixed and change. This sucks Macbook pro always have this problem: thermal issues (heat) or battery issues.

hope you setup was fine for the new MBP

OH SUCKS when you bring laptop out to coffee shop and it dies within 20mins OOF!!!!!!!!!! i remember my experience. I feel so noob after that. Now i have new MBP it works longer and also i bring charger around. Keep setting up, hopefully you can remote them around. I need another mac so i can do things separately between design and marketing, coding and all the backend and video/animation/motion. I think 3 laptop is a must to have.

Technically 3 😁

· the new one

· a 2015 13" I bought second hand for just 400 euros from a company sale in March and which I've been using in the last month for work

· my old 15" which I can't use anymore because it's dangerous. Nothing else is broken, but battery is so badly swollen that the bottom cover/case doesn't fit anymore. I don't know what to do with it yet. It is pretty old, Late 2013 model, so I guess I should've expected problems to appear.

Yeah, I'm thinking of changing battery for the old one and use as backup or when working around the house or in a coffee shop or elsewhere.

What sucks is that the battery was fine, I still got 4-5h battery life. But apparently swollen batteries are very dangerous, because of gas accumulation in them.

I still haven't finished setup, lots of project files to transfer. But almost done. Went ok.
