Mac Budget

Budget?

The decision ultimately depends on their budget and the urgency of the situation.

If budget is not a concern and the MacBook is needed urgently, it may be more beneficial to consider purchasing a new or used unit.

Mac Compatibility

Compatibility Issue

Each Mac is initially equipped with a specific macOS version and has the ability to upgrade to the latest macOS version for approximately five to seven years.

After that, no further support is available for that particular Mac to upgrade.

  • For designers who heavily rely on current Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop versions, a Mac older than five years is not recommended.
  • Video editors using Adobe Premier Pro and Final Cut Pro will encounter buffering and rendering issues on a Mac older than five years.
  • Photographers using Capture One for their work should also consider a Mac no more than five years old.

Therefore, if a Mac is malfunctioning and has been in use for nearly five years, it may be worth considering a new one.

Repair Mac Time

Turnaround Time

The duration of checking, testing, and repairing their malfunctioning MacBook, as well as the estimated cost and time required for repairs.

The time required for repairs depends on the nature of the problem.

  • If the issue is limited to the battery or certain keyboard keys, a non-responsive trackpad, or a faulty speaker, checking and repair can be done quickly, usually within the same day or the next day at the latest.
  • If the Mac has been damaged due to a drop or water spillage, checking and repairing can take a long time as all components will need to be checked and tested individually.

This may take days or weeks, especially if it’s a newer model with a different design and component structure.

Our team always strives to check and fix your Mac thoroughly and promptly, providing an estimate based on our best efforts to ensure your MacBook is repaired correctly. ✅

Mac Used Parts Value

Parts Value

Considered selling a broken Mac for parts and recouping some of the cost? Yes, why not.

As repair technicians, we may be interested in certain parts as spare components, such as a functional display screen, logic board, keyboard, or trackpad, which retain some value.

If you’re unsure about the potential value of your damaged Mac, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance. Our team would be happy to help you assess its worth.
