New Battery? New Macbook Pro? Help me out!

My MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) is showing 80% battery capacity. Is it possible to install a new battery or do to the age of the computer, do you think the time is running nearer to updating to a new Macbook Pro?

Time for a New Battery:

Apple recommends that you get a new battery when it reaches 80%. So, get it replaced. Frankly, once replaced, I'd take this as a good reason to upgrade to a much newer Mac.

The only way to know is to see the new models in the store for yourself. 😉


That’s how it worked for me!


Just playing with it, feeling the new and improved keyboard, seeing the gorgeous display, the MagSafe connector and all of the ports! 😆


Shop one-on-one with a Specialist at an Apple Store.

However, if you are somehow not impressed…
