My sister-in-law’s somewhat new laptop had water damage. She was surprised that I wanted to spend about $100 at a local repair shop to get it fixed.
It’s only 1-2 years old and had 16gb ddr5, a 512ssd and a 10 core intel processor. I forget what one, but it’s pretty modern.
She bought a MacBook Air to replace it so luckily she didn’t ask for any money for it.
The repair price might seem extra low because I’m not in the US.



I’ve been keeping all my old tech. I have some stuff that’s pretty useless, but in one instance, I was able to move a vps I have for my business and run it locally saving a bit each month. It’s running on an old MacBook Pro from 2016.
It’s also just a test server that I use before pushing to production in the cloud.
