So i got somewhat scammed on Facebook Marketplace for $670.
I'm not totally clueless on Computers and I now with more time and patience I could have avoided this by using a bench test or by having a diagnostics done or by simply using the laptop and seeing its performance was bad.
But I was in a rush and got overzealous.
Bought for $670 : 2018 Macbook Air Rose gold 128gb 8gb i5 as good working condition. With applecare remaining 15 months
The good: has apple care
The BAD: has water damage is very slow.
I've tried reinstalling OS and i see it will need repair.
What do you all think I should do next?
Repair thru Apple? Will cost $300 I believe.
Repair thru 3rd party around $180 i believe.
Sell it as is? probably can sell for $500 cash.
Should I try my own repairs? Clean it, reset the pram is it?
