Never had such a thing happen in years of managing Macs of all kinds. In sixteen years and hundreds of Macs, we've had only two go glitzy on us. One had a hard drive go bad and the other was just a few months ago was a brand new 27 inch 5K iMac that was a lemon. . . it was a serial killer of logic boards. Apple finally just swapped it completely after it killed the fourth logic board in as many weeks!
What do you mean "both crash and burn?" Did they die completely? How? What year were they made, version of OS X were they running?

Genuis bar, without diagnostics, said Macbook fried logic board. Wife said iMac died from geospatial storm attack from Mars. Subsequent analysis by yours truly confirms death of both. (Sniff.)
WTH! And I get stuck with the bill regardless. Never had two macs die within two weeks of each other. I used to be allowed at least six months mourning with a Mac death. Maybe the Macs were married in a previous life and decided to die together. That’s not unheard of in Indian metaphysical literature.
Sigh.
What county in Calif. are you located in? Just noticed you’re near me. I’d hire you in a heartbeat to work on my macs or set me up with the best system for my needs. My regular guy has a full time job and he’s helped with PC more than Mac over the years.
