That's actually why I finally got out and got my masters in speech-language pathology. I never got much satisfaction out of any of it except programming, as that was always a sort of puzzle to be solved, and that lost its luster because of mismanagement and the philosophy, "There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over," in order to meet arbitrary deadlines and have dissatisfied users. For most of my career in IT I was doing things like programming, database administration, system admin type stuff, etc.

It's not that I hate this job, or even close to it, but the reason I got into this was not the tech side, but the people side. God bless you!! I wish I could say the same. If I don't want to provide it I say so up front (just like I did with the divorce client yesterday with regard to forensic analysis and any court testimony). So long as I've given them accurate information about it being better to spend their money on a new machine, if they refuse to do that and ask for a repair I can most likely provide, that's their choice to make. I don't have too many clients with "sentimental attachments" to older hardware, but I've had a couple. But if that were something I still did, this is a project I'd consider only as a "time required" thing (and be willing to eat the time if it didn't work). This would never be anything I'd do, period, because I stopped soldering for others years back. īut provided the client is fully informed about the ramifications of this technique, and she's willing and able to undertake it, and they're willing to pay for time required, hours are hours. I'm likely going to get a 16" model next year.I'd say that depends on whether you're charging hourly, and what the client website indicates that she has the same philosophy as I do: If I can't fix it, you don't get charged. But my needs and usage is not the same as others. I would rather personally keep my 15" MacBook Pro Unibody then give up the screen size. You also need to do it at time of purchase as you can't alter it later (unlike the 13/15" Unibody MacBook Pro's. The newer retina 2016 (butterfly) or older 2015 (scissor) I think that's getting closer in the comparison.Īs far as costs most of the 2012 13/15" Unibody logic boards are in the $450~650 where the buying the newest 2020 13" MacBook Air is $1000 ~1300 range at the base and adding RAM & storage gets expensive! And the 2016 ~ 2019 MacBook Pro retinas they are still more expensive and they also force you into USB-C. Whereas the 2012 has a better GPU and not as badly CPU throttled.

The new air has a very nice screen, but it doesn't have the GPU power and is thermally limited. I think you need to reword what you wrote as your first statement, doesn't jive with what you say at the end.Īs far as the pro's and con's of refitting a 2012 logic board into a 2011 system Vs buying a MacBook Air 2020.
