The March 2015 update of Apple's 13" MacBook Air features fifth generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, resulting in slightly increased performance and battery life.

Can it be repaired?

Dropped the machine. The screen needs to be replaced. However, the main housing is bent on the corner near the charging port. Can this machine be repaired? I appreciate your time. I have uploaded a photo of the damage.

Well technically anything can be repaired, but you can also have a machine that is mechanically totaled. Usually when you need to replace both the screen and palmrest, it tends to be about as much as a new machine. If you need a bottom cover, then it’s usually cheaper to buy a new computer.

In this case, the display is $300 and the palmrest runs for $150.

For another 2015 13” MBA on eBay, they’re going for anywhere between $500-569 for a 8GB version, so you’re coming very close to replacement cost at $450 in parts, assuming the bottom cover is fine. If that’s dented, add another $70. Usually if it’s just a display issue you’re dangerously close but it often isn’t close enough to economically total it out if your threshold isn’t sensitive to expensive repairs.

If you want to try and save this one, you may need to buy a parts machine with power issues (no liquid damage!) and move all of your old parts to the new chassis.
