...and here I am with my 2010 13' core2duo. 16gigs of ram, an SSD a variety of ports and flying along nicely. Still on the original battery and getting about 5-6 hours on a full charge.
- dijit 8y agoSurely that speaks to the build quality of the devices?
- illwrks 8y agoYes, but also the upgradability! If I was stuck with the original 120gb HDD and the stock 4gb of RAM it would be in no way 'usable' as it is now.
- whalesalad 8y agoI had a 2012 model I just replaced with a new MacBook Pro for a variety of reasons. Mine only had 8gb of RAM. I replaced the battery once (very easy job) and it was hands down my favorite computer of all time. The laser thin bezel on the front is perfect for typing. Happy with the new MacBook Pro (32gb of ram!) but part of me regrets not waiting a few weeks and grabbing the new Air.
- JMiao 8y agoi have one of those i should upgrade and give away. can you recommend your ram and ssd?
- illwrks 8y agoI went to Crucial.com, downloaded and ran their little spec checking tool and then maxed out what I could. I was lucky in that the model I had allowed an EFI upgrade (I think?) a few years ago which enabled the 16gb ram. I use a new 15' Macbook in the office and I have with-drawl symptoms with that new keyboard. Nice machines though, just a pity they are not serviceable.
