It's the opposite for me. I would use the €4000 HP ZBook from work on the subway or on the street. But I wouldn't use my €1000 mid-2015 MacBook Pro because I know I wouldn't be able to buy a new one if it got stolen or would break.
Money can't buy everything - if they don't make the 2015 chassis anymore (ie. no Touchbar, which some people still very much prefer), then you cant really get a replacement for it, no matter the price.
