    I’d consider the same, so long as it also had mag safe or at least a 2nd usb port. family member had one with a failing usb port (data only, though it would still charge), and all apple could do was send it to depot for a board replacement. this of course wiped the drive… the issue at hand was that due to data not working, their time machine backup was nearly a year old… non techy, so they didn’t know or expect any of that, just signed off saying “yes, I have a backup”, not even thinking of how old. adding a 2nd port would significantly reduce strain on the one and only port available for the machines power and data.
