I have a 2023 A2779 MacBook Pro that the screen got damaged. A replacement is +/- $500. I have an opportunity to buy a 2021 A2442 MacBook Pro for a lot less. The reason is that the company that was using it got new ones and because there is now no hard drive to remove, they drilled the NANDs. So, the MacBook will not ever work without replacing the very expensive NANDs.
I have looked at E-Bay and the screen for my A2779 and the A2442 are listed as the same screen. While I can get this MacBook Pro cheap, it is still not free and so I want to be sure that it will fit. Can anyone confirm this? Below is a screen shot from one of the ads.
