I was going to save for a new macbook, but it’s too expensive, I already upgraded the ssd to 1tb/battery, if big sur patch works stable I might get a logic board w/ 8gb ram/2.0ghz. Anything that says new from 2012 is a refurb right? Their store says they have 345 pieces of the item, how’d they get so many? Macpalace and those places I don’t trust after reading bad reviews.
