Currently using macbook pro 13.3 with touchbar with 16gb ram and my screen koyak. Fix it require 2.5k.

Saw carousell selling macbook 12 2016 m3 processor 8gb ram for 3.5k

Should I get the MacBook 12 or fix my mbp?

Usage: web and mobile development.

Fix it, the MBP is a great machine
Macbook 12 is honestly just fine for day to day use

But the keyboard sucks big time, mine is only few months old and rarely used, but the space bar is already stuck

And only one USB port can be quite the dealbreaker especially since it’s not thunderbolt 3 (no eGPU support)

Yup it can, and I now have a USB hub that can do VGA/HDMI/etc from that one single port

Well I have a 15” rMBP and the M12, and as the poster above said, it’s just a different class of device

I got mine on a sale so it’s worth it though, m5 + 512 Gb for 3,999 brand new from machines

I don’t think so, this was during 12.12 sale last year.

Well I use light room so I definitely notice the difference
