Hello, first time poster here.
I’ve been using my 2012 MacBook Air for quite some time now, but recent issues have led me to get a new Mac as the technician said it’s a logic board issue and I don’t feel like sinking money into what is going to be a vintage Mac pretty soon.
My overall needs were well-met on the MacBook Air - frankly, if it weren’t for the logic board, I wouldn’t mind using it today. I do a lot of word processing and web surfing, with a side of low end games that may kick up the fan, but are still quite playable otherwise.
My question is - would it be overkill to spend upwards of $2,300 for a 15” MacBook Pro in the hopes of getting a full five years or more of usage and future proof myself? Or should I just save $1000 and get a 13” MacBook Pro since a five-year-old Mac worked well enough for me to this point?
