    Replacing my MacBook Air 11 Early 2015 for rMBP Late 2013. Worth it?

    I have the chance to replace my MacBook Air 2015 11.6 for a Retina MacBook Pro 13.3 late 2013. Same RAM and storage (4gb and 128ssd) Do you think is worth it?

    Hi guys, something odd is happening with my MBA and I'm thinking it's a motherboard/logic board thing, or possibly a RAM thing. Some water was spilled on the keyboard and fried something in there. I let it dry out for a while, took it all apart, dried off the components, put it back together...
