Whether we\u2019re talking about the MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro, one thing\u2019s for sure — anyone who\u2019s used any of them long enough has experienced a problem or two, such as a cracked LCD, a bad battery, or some other hardware issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

MacBooks are expensive and generally perform better than other computers. It\u2019s this reason that MacBooks are generally used more than PCs. In a recent study, a tech firm gathered information on the preference of 2,200 college students that year. They made these correspondents choose between Macs and PCs. The study revealed that 40% of the students prefer the MacBook, as they use them as daily drivers. 31% use PCs but actually prefer Macs, and 29% use PCs and prefer them as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Macs are indeed popular, but just like PCs, they are prone to wear and tear. This brings us down to the most common MacBook problems these users face. If you are a MacBook user, you\u2019re probably all too familiar with the following list.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most common MacBook problems<\/span><\/h2>\n

RAM<\/b> – RAM becomes a problem for MacBook users today because of the increasing RAM power demand to run software. This is especially true for users who use their Macs for hardware-intensive software such as ones for video and photo editing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that RAM stores the information it needs to access and run things quickly. So if you don\u2019t have enough, you\u2019re probably in for extra hours on top of the work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charging Ports<\/b> – As a MacBook user, it\u2019s easy to accidentally misplug. Sometimes, it\u2019s easy to unintentionally snag it out of the plug because you forgot that you\u2019re still charging. These small mishaps always lead to faulty charging ports. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dead Battery<\/b> – The eventual result of a faulty charging port and an aging Mac is a dead battery. A dead MacBook battery means you\u2019d have to constantly search for a place to plug in, which is not ideal for the busy on-the-go student or business professional. <\/span><\/p>\n

Backlight <\/b>– Backlight helps illuminate the screen, allowing you to see items in the Mac\u2019s display better. A broken backlight means you won\u2019t be able to distinguish things like text and icons from the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are hundreds of MacBook issues experienced by everyone, but the big question is, are MacBooks worth getting repairs for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Should I get my MacBook repaired or buy a replacement?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you know the most common issues you\u2019ll face, or have faced with MacBooks, you\u2019re wondering how much you should expect to pay for getting a MacBook repaired. You\u2019re probably even asking yourself if getting a repair is even worth it. We\u2019re going to help you decide.<\/span><\/p>\n

When considering a MacBook repair for any problem, one of the first few things to consider is the price. The price depends on the damage and the model of the MacBook. We do offer free repair quotes, so if you\u2019re in trouble, please bring your MacBook in directly to us and we\u2019ll give you a free quote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Repair prices are always based on the service, labor prices, the area where you\u2019re getting repairs from, and the model of your MacBook. But with AppleCare+, your repair may cost a little less — it\u2019s like a discount you have to pay for.<\/span><\/p>\n

We Have Both Options!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fortunately, we have you covered no matter what you do. We do offer used and refurbished MacBooks, but before you browse our selection, bring in your old MacBook and we\u2019ll give you a free repair quote. If it makes more sense to repair it, we can do that. <\/span><\/p>\n
