Time to buy?
I have a 2012 macbook pro that I was going to upgrade to the newest macbook pro in April-ish. My charger officially broke today and new chargers are $80. Should I buy the charger just to use it for two months or should I make the big purchase? Any other options are welcome... thanks!- abbyjm66
