Nearby (close), this conclusion (close) doesn’t necessarily end altogether (it closes the window, but doesn’t necessarily quit the app).
2: One to tuck over your arm in case of a downpour, maybe, but nearly twice the weight of the latest desktop.

Macintosh Portable
One to tuck over your arm in case of a downpour (a portable macintosh), maybe, but nearly twice the weight of the latest desktop (the Macintosh Portable weighs 7.2 kg, and the M1 iMac only 4.46 kg).
3: Make impervious what’s at the top of the tree that must remain unbroken.

The Seal
Make impervious (to seal a surface) what’s at the top of the tree (the Seal is the hash at the top of the Merkle tree sealing Big Sur’s System) that must remain unbroken (if it is broken, you’ll be booted into Recovery to reinstall macOS).
I look forward to your putting alternative cases.
