The "rage" seems misplaced. The OP didn't think about their needs when buying the machine and didn't purchase the appropriate warranty service package. Having a backup laptop would be another option, too. (I can't imagine the OP doesn't have backup camera bodies, likely at a greater expense than having a good-enough-to-get-by backup laptop.)

If one piece of hardware going down keeps you from working until you get it back, that's on you or your company.
