[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1791030, member: 56379"] Definitely run the numbers before purchasing things. Many times parts for Apple computers can be pricey...and the total of the repair parts + initial purchase cost...can exceed the value of a 100% working model. For example...a 100% working 2012 11" MacBook Air can be gotten for $250-$300. If you think you're going to need to get at least an uppercase & logic board + the $80 spent already...things add up quickly. I'm pretty sure if you're talking about getting a 2015 11" logic board with 8 gig of RAM...that won't be cheap. A replacement 2012 logic board for a 2012 11" MacBook Air goes for around $200. Thus a 2015 logic board with the fast CPU and 8gig of RAM is certainly going to be quite a bit more. If it makes sense...go for it,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
