Apple

my beloved early 2015 macbook pro decided to crash yesterday and i’m not sure it’s gonna be coming back to me alive. this might be a dumb question but do you think it’s worth purchasing a new macbook (probably the cheapest air) or explore other options as a student strapped for cash. i don’t really know much about computers but i was impressed by how long my 2015 lasted and i wasn’t sure if they’re still known to last as long nowadays. if they start to crash like 3 years in i’d rather buy a cheaper one which would last about the same you know? i also had the ability to upgrade individual parts of my 2015 macbook (which def helped keep it running smoothly for as long as it did) but i know that’s not possible with the current models bc everything’s soldered down so that adds to the worry that itll die on me in a few short years. i don’t know what laptop i would get other than a macbook tho so id have to do additional research on that too.. for reference im a student and mostly used my laptop for school work/general personal use and the occasional premier pro/lightroom project. any guidance is appreciated!!
