So, your choices for trusty backup devices are pretty much limited to three – a Chromebook, a Windows-run laptop, and a MacBook. You definitely cannot afford kids to court temptation! You should not wait for someone to have that blue screen of death because of a bloated battery (a common problem with laptops) or someone asking for the Netflix app to be installed on their laptops that should only for attending online classes. Also, is there an extra device anyone can use for other activities like gaming, social media, or leisure (aka Netflix marathons)? If there is none, then you should definitely be in the market for a backup or extra device. There are surely times when everyone is busy at home, whether doing their work or attending school, using their own devices at the same time that there is probably no backup device that a family member can use if their personal device conks up.

In this time of the pandemic, chances are you are slaving away from home with the trusty device your office has given you.
