2010 MBP Logic Board failed: Fix or Buy New?

[Zaqfalcon]

It was top of the line when I bought it so still pretty proficient (15", 2.66GHz i7, 8gb, mostly used for fairly intensive Aperture processing) and I just very recently spent AUD$500 on replacing the CD drive with 500gb OWC SSD and data doubler.

Fixing the logic board will be around AUD$1200 but a new Macbook Pro is AUD$3500+.

The question is if I get it fixed will it break again in some way in six months and will I wish I'd just bought new?

i would say buy a new one because if it breaks in 6 months you would've spent 2,800 then risking it to break again. So ill recommend buy a new one but its up to u
