Service or buy a new macbook?

[thatboy]

Hi guys,

I have a macbook pro retina 15” Early 2013 that battery is totally dead. Only able to power up using AC adapter.

Simplymac.sg quoted $250 inclusive service a new battery.

I have another issue with my speakers that is distorted however works perfectly fine with headphones. So the speaker does not bother me, its the battery.

Should I service my battery or to get a new macbook? Anyone have good experience of third party battery? Does it last?

Thanks forumers!

Your can but the battery from OWC and install it yourself.

Are you happy with the performance of your current MBP?

I have the exact computer with the exact problems. Worn out battery + broken speakers.

I had them both replaced by:

Good as new. $250 for battery and $150 for speakers.

Thanks for the advice.

Simplymac is under OWC, so I would assume you recommending me to them?

Performance wise i can feel it slowing down, however the overall condition is well-maintained. I cant convince myself to get the new macbook with touch bar as I am using windows also.
