Seriously.
Wondering if I should get one of these to replace my 2015 13" rMBP, which, as of late, has pretty poor battery life and degraded performance. Wouldn't mind something a bit more portable. Or, if the obvious move is a new iPad Pro.
- ilogik 7y agothe 2020 mbp 14 inch should be just around the corner. I just replaced the battery in my 2013 mbp
- nicoburns 7y agoHow much did the battery replacement cost? Mine's still ok, but it probably won't be long before I'd consider a replacement. But that does rather depend on the price...
- sintaxi 7y agoI have replaced the battery in both my rMBP (2015). It costs about $100 and can be done yourself.
- rconti 7y agoI did a DIY on my 2011 Air for $70ish and while it seemed to solve my problems at first, after a short while it seemed like every time i went to use the machine it was dead. (I only use it once every week or three). I'm not sure if it's not sleeping, or waking from sleep, or what. I use it too little to even troubleshoot. But that was enough to get me to pull the trigger on a new i9 Air yesterday.
- jhawk28 7y agoYou can get a battery from Apple for $120.
- nicoburns 7y agoYeah, I'm thinking that this is the obvious replacement for my 2015 13" rMBP. Mine is still a solid machine, and I don't anticipate needing to upgrade for at least another year, but I'd definitely consider this over the current pro. Fast CPU, no touchbar, and sensible pricing (hopefully this is a sign of Apple changing direction pricing wise).
- bookmarkaccount 7y agoHard to beat that model imo, I would go to the trouble of replacing the battery. Or as apple would do the entire upper assembly.
