IMHO its still worth it if you want the ports with good performance. For intensive work, better look elsewhere.
For spare parts, I can safely say the parts are largely available (I’m using mbp 2015 btw). My experience with repairs so far :
- 2017, I got display staingate issue and got it replaced for free by Machines.
- Early 2019, I sent for blownout speakers repair also at Machines, parts are already in stock and they fixed it within a day.
- Early 2020, I sent for bloated battery replacement also at Machines, but this time they say parts needed to order from USA. So they ship my mpb to Singapore and perform repair there. Before shipping back to MY. Everything happens in about 17 days from start till receive back.
