I have a macbook pro model a1278 that may need a new logic board, would any a1278 logic board work or only specific ones? I plan on ordering one tonight or tomorrow. Thank you!
You should be fine with just any for the a1278. I would definitely go for the fastest processor I could find, it shouldn't affect the price very much.

i found two but when i looked up both models(replacing with the exact same logic board in the macbook currently and one that had a slightly lesser processor) the listing on everymac says the lesser macbook had 4 finger trackpad and the one thats the model im working on is inertial. will the logic board effect this?
Your MBP had inertial scrolling.
So I would need the logic board of a MBP that also had inertial scrolling?

I don't know if you NEED that or not, but I certainly would not put a logic board in that was older than the machine. Although Im pretty sure Apple enabled inertial scrolling via a software update for older machines.
I can't answer this 100% for you, but I know you can't go wrong matching the current logic board that you current have in it.
