I’ve been quoted a price of ~$525 to repair the screen on my 2012 rMBP 13”, which already has bad TB and USB ports. So given it’s age and likelihood that it will be vintage soon, it’s probably best to replace it.
For about the same price I can get a 2015 MBA 11.6” w/ 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Is this a fair deal? Are there any known hardware problems to look out for with this model?
Reasons I like this laptop-
1) Even more portable
2) Geekbench is about the same as my old rMBP. Ditto for the RAM and SSD.
3) More future proof than the old girl.
4) It has ports!
Any flaws in my reasoning?
