Dear readers,
I have the above 15" laptop since 2014 and several things have now happened to it. The screen looks smudged when turned off but looks ok when the screen is turned on. I believe this is just a common fault with the screen. The memory is 256GB so I cannot really back it up anymore with my iphone (nor my wife's), however I now pay for icloud so I think that solves that issue. A key has fallen off the keyboard and I don't see the point in paying approx. £200 in replacing the keyboard given the other faults.
Given how long I have made it last - I am thinking of upgrading to the M4 MBP. I don't do any video editing/rendering. Just light use really - emails/browsing/streaming/Word/Excel/photo editing/back ups etc. I appreciate the Macbook Air now has an M4 chip but the screen resolution is not as good as the MBP.
Any thoughts or suggestions with the M4 MBP would be much appreciated. These gadgets are so expensive and am just trying to make the right choice. Dec 24 I upgraded my iphone to the 16 PM from the iphone X.
Thank you for your help.
