I posted in the Apple Devices forum but they suggested I post here.

Screen damaged (impact on outside of lid, cracks "inside" the screen bleeding all over screen).

CompuB have suggested 500-700 to repair / replace. I've read elsewhere 400.

Questions
1. Can anyone suggest a cheaper alternative? It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be cost effective.
2. If not, then what is currently the cheapest way to obtain a new Macbook Air? I have access to both UK and Irish Apple stores (Irish store currently slightly cheaper), and would like a 13' 512GB model.

I've decided to sell it. Am I allowed to post ebay link here, in case anyone is interested? Finishes later today.
