Thank you so much for your reply.
I am going through an official Apple support store here in Ireland there isn’t many who deal with Apple repairs and i was too afraid to take it to any other type of repair shop in case of a hack job being done but you have clearly explained more then they have as a not much was explained about the repair just quoted an original price so you can imagine my shock when it was the same price my dad would’ve paid for the laptop in the first place.
When I seen the breakdown of the price I knew something was wrong as half of the items listed were completely fine but as you said some of things need to be automatically replaced when installing the logic board or top case none of this was said to me, just quoted a price, I had asked a couple questions in the chat bar on my case but have received no replies from the company itself. Do feel like they shouldn’t be included in the price as there was no damage done but hey people have to make money.
While I don’t want to spend they money repairing an older laptop I’m someone of sentimental value, this laptop completed my dream I had and was probably the most expensive gift I’ve ever received I’m heart broken to lose it. However I do agree that the money could be used on a better and improved year.
any suggestions on MacBook airs similar to the 2019 version? I had a look around after I left my laptop in and some seem to be very bulky. The main feature about mine that I loved is how slim and light it was?
