So, your paper on feminist trends in the sixties is almost done. You’re propped up by your favorite tree on campus and people are everywhere. There’s a demonstration about one of the speakers set to speak at graduation and you let out a sigh. It’s only freshman year. For lunch, you open up your laptop again to write the conclusion. Students are sliding trays filled with pizza, vegan stew, and water bottles back and forth as you try to concentrate on your work and protect your computer at the same time. You sigh again thinking how you saved up by lifeguarding last summer just to get this MacBook Pro and you need it to last at least 3 ½ more years. As you gather up your belongings and start heading to your dorm, you think of your roomie’s tendency to leave half-finished green shakes and open Sprite cans (depending on if it’s healthy week or not) near your spot on the couch where you catch up on Big Little Lies. And, you guessed it, you sigh again.
And so, you’re on this site because you’re starting to think of how to protect your laptop. Whether it is a Chromebook, Notebook, MacBook Pro, or another, you’ve come to the right place.
