Compare complete costs and needs
Consider the proposed repair cost, the functions you need, and whether the device still meets your requirements. Compare that with the confirmed cost and condition of a replacement. Keep data transfer, accessories, and agreed coverage in the comparison.
Compare the two options on the same basis
Start with the assessed repair scope and total cost, then compare the replacement device’s exact specification, condition, accessories, and confirmed terms. Consider whether your current device still meets your application and storage needs and what downtime each option involves. A repair price alone cannot answer the question. The decision becomes clearer when both options are described as complete, usable outcomes.
Your checklist
- Repair proposal
- Replacement offer
- Data and accessory requirements
