If your MacBook has been acting slow, glitchy, or moody this year, you are probably thinking about upgrading before Boxing Day. Black Friday and Christmas deals make it tempting.
But here is the truth that surprises a lot of people.
Most MacBooks do not need to be replaced. They just need the right repair.
Before you spend a big chunk of money, here is how to decide whether to fix or upgrade your MacBook this holiday season.
When It Makes More Sense To Fix Your MacBook
Choose repair if:
• Your MacBook is slow
• Your apps freeze
• Your fan sounds like a jet engine
• Your storage is full
• Your battery drains too fast
• Your keyboard is glitching
• Your screen has small damage
Most of these issues can be solved with:
• SSD upgrades
• RAM upgrades
• Battery replacements
• Deep cleaning
• Software optimization
A repaired MacBook often runs faster than a budget brand new laptop.
When It Makes Sense To Upgrade
An upgrade might be smarter if:
• Your MacBook is 2013 or older
• Your logic board is failing
• Your screen is beyond repair
• You need more power for editing or design
• You want Apple’s newer chips
If you are a student, creator, or professional who needs speed, the latest models truly shine.
