Apple Computer Repair: Is It Worth It to Repair a Mac?

For both personal and professional use, laptops are crucial portable tools. Macbooks and Macs are expensive and can be daunting financially and an inconvenience when needing to be repaired. We at California Computer are aware of the cost you spent on your laptop and its value in housing important and essential information.

Is repairing your Apple MacBook worth it?

Below are a few other reasons why customers might believe that investing in another expensive Apple computer is a better financial decision than repairing their Apple computer:

  • Repairing Apple computers is too expensive.
  • Apple is the only store certified to repair their devices.
  • Repairing an Apple computer is time-consuming.

Lifehacker archived a conversation between a Canadian software developer Luke Tully and Apple Help on the estimated repair expenses for his 2015 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. His MacBook Pro needed screen and battery replacement was what they initially reported. According to the emails Tully posted, an Apple employee advised purchasing a replacement instead of paying for the damages, which would have cost roughly $1557.44.

For comparison and contrast, the starting price for a brand-new 13-inch MacBook Pro model for 2020 is $1200, while the starting price for certified refurbished models from 2019 is roughly $979.

Wait, how does a repair cost more than a replacement? The answer is that it doesn’t, but briefly, it seems to be the logical reason for customers to buy new devices instead of repairing existing ones. Between 2018 and 2019, Apple was in the news and undergoing lawsuits for its anti-competitive practices. Apple was questioned about its estimated high repair costs as a way of urging its customers to buy new MacBooks as opposed to repairing their current devices. 

Apple tried to convince Congress how organizational repairs should go, but we at California Computer provide how customer-focused repairs should go. The repair process should be seamless, cost-friendly, and designed to eliminate supply chain mishaps.
