I got my 13 a few months ago and it kind of sucks if I waited I could have gotten the 13 pro instead. However I won’t throw it all away or sell it to buy the pro even though I could. I’m planning on upgrading one part a year (or whenever they break), starting with the keyboard cover, to get to the pro. What are your plans?
My 13 is a couple of years old now, but it’s still trucking along just fine. My top three complaints were battery life, the trackpad, and sub optimal speakers - all addressed with the bottom chassis kit. When the battery needs replacing or when the trackpad holding bracket bends/deforms again - I’ll buy the bottom kit and move everything into that. Then someday I’ll go for a new monitor and main board etc. But not now.
This is basically me. Got my 13 least year. I won’t be upgrading until I’m forced to, most likely. When I do it’ll be those components first. Though I do covet the touchscreen, I don’t actually need it
Touchscreens on laptops are imo the most overrated things ever. If it’s a 360 flip into a tablet jobber - then the touchscreen and a pen make sense. But jabbing a finger in a screen instead of using a quality touchpad - blasphemy! :)
