So I have been using the same MacBook pro for the last seven years. I bought it to be able to run my ministry and keep track of everything I do. It has been awesome! I have over the year’s upgraded memory and hard drives and it has gone through multiple batteries. when it has had issues I have mostly taken care of them myself, although it has been back to Apple a few times. Yesterday it died! A moment of silence please…
There is a possibility of fixing it, the part isn’t that expensive but it is the age-old question. Is it time to replace it? For most computers seven years is two life times. I don’t think I have had another computer which has lasted this long. It still runs the latest OS and seems to still have pep, but just like a car it is showing its age. Some computers get replaced out of want, we just want something new. Some computers it is out of need. Mine is teetering between both. I haven’t named it or anything weird like that but if it is time for it to go to the big motherboard in the sky I will shed a little tear. You have been a good one old friend, and I will judge all others by you!
