    2012 MBP 13" 2.5 logic board failure - upgrade?

    I'm 99% sure the logic board failed on my MBP. I'm fairly adept at this stuff but I'm still going to have it diagnosed. Does anyone know if you can put the motherboard from the 2012 13" i7 2.9 GHz in it? They are priced the same, and a little performance boost would be awesome. Edit: I'm 99%...

    Apple Upgrade program: is it worth it?

    What's the catch? Apple makes it sound like you pay a monthly fee, say around $40 for 12 months and then you get a new iPhone each year. Is it better than selling it on Craigslist when the new iPhone launches? Link is here: http://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program
