So my mid 2012 MacBook Pro has failed me. My logic board is done. It was the best 13" model at the time, with 2.9ghz i7. I had after market upgraded to a 512 gb ssd and 16gb ram. i would get it fixed from Apple but I have a slight crack in my screen so it'd have to be fixed in order them to fix the inside. 750$ .. What should I do, get it fixed or buy a used MacBook. I've done a lot of research and I'm just not sure on which model I really don't want to spend more than 1000$. I want something of the same speed and storage space. Is it a bad idea to get another 2012. Any ideas?

 

you really can't replace the screen yourself? I never had a MacBook..so it may be impossible.. if so , pretty bogus..
so many simple things that can be addressed by the user, with some initiative, blocked by Apphole.. I mean Apple

I mostly use Windows laptops..that you can replace a lot of components.

 

If you are satisfied with the one you had, buy the same. A new one cost still 1079 Dollar

and upgrade with the components you upgraded (SSD and RAM) (using the same components from your actual computer). And use the other components as spareparts.

What issues are you having to make you think you need a new logic board?

 

I'd wait anyhow as the new releases should push the older still capable ones down in price.
