2016 12" MacBook A1534 - Space Bar Replacement
I consider myself pretty handy, but i can't figure out the space bar replacement on my A1534. I really don't want to do a whole keyboard replacement, local shops quoting me $300+ (and, I could use a new battery too). At that point, I might as well buy a new machine. I bought these two... -

Resolved upgrading early 2015 MacBook?
So I'm about to change my old MacBook 12" from 2015 to something newer, but I'm undecided if I'm going to a 2017 (i5 or i7) model with 16 GB of ram or an MBP 13" 2017 (i5 + 16GB).
