I actually use this to help justify use in business. It extends the lifecycle of the equipment. Yes the CFO balks at first but when he realizes we realistically get max three years out of a Windows laptop and we can use a Mac for five and not have as many repair and replace activities, we are actually saving money. One issue is that the execs like a new laptop every year, but I’ve solved that by using their 1-2 year old laptops as hand me downs.
