I have a 2019 16" MacBook Pro, and unfortunately, the screen just cracked. I've heard that replacing the screen could cost me between $600 to $800. Before I make a decision, I want to know if it's worth getting the screen replaced or if I should just invest in a new laptop. Any advice or experiences would be super helpful!

Honestly, for that kind of money, I'd probably just save up for a new laptop unless your current one is in really good shape and you're not planning to upgrade anytime soon.
I wouldn't invest cash into an Intel Mac these days. Just not worth it when you could get significantly better performance from newer models.
Your price estimate for a screen replacement sounds spot on. If your MacBook is still running fine without any major battery or performance issues, replacing the screen is usually the more economical choice. But if you were already thinking about upgrading to something newer, it might not be worth shelling out that much for an older Intel model, especially since newer models offer significant performance and battery life improvements. Here's a quick rule of thumb: if your laptop works well—go for the screen replacement; if you’re eyeing an upgrade—consider a new one.
If you're on an Intel MacBook Pro, I’d definitely recommend looking into an upgrade instead of spending money on a repair.
