Considering you can get a used m1 mba for around the same price as the repair I would just do that.
Because I like wasting money. Legitimately I bought mine for personal use. No work at all. And it was a total waste of money.
I barely use the thing and do just about everything on my iPad.
In my personal life not at all. I’ll still have an iMac for work but for personal stuff the mba just collects dust.
I literally turned it on for the first time in 4 months yesterday to print an amazon return label.
The beautiful irony in that is that what I was returning was a printer which was damaged in transit that I bought because it has airprint so I can print off the iPad.
