Repairing an old Mac is a band aid solution, plus it's now 2021 and the average lifespan of a laptop is 2 to 5 years, In my opinion, getting a new machine would be a good idea.Īs for getting a new machine (in case you might think of it or decide to get to) a lot of factors that you must consider, first one is the budget/money where you'll be spending on, and the use cases for the device, since you mentioned that you use it for entertainment purposes and banking, getting the Macbook Air would be a good idea but I suggest getting the 8-core model one because for one, having that extra core means a safe spot for usage and 2, for multitasking purposes (assuming you run a lot of apps).
