If I could replace the CPU then this would be a totally wonderful machine today (though I would take the 17" version instead). I actually had one at a previous job and the DVD-ROM drive just stopped working, but I wouldn't spare the time to get it fixed.
- illwrks 6y agoI've recently retired an aging 2009 iMac. The SSD upgrade done years ago was a life saver for it. In its place I've purchased and upgraded a 2009 Mac Pro over the last few months. The ability to swap out a few parts will give another 6+ years of life to this machine. And I've still got and use (every other week) a 13in 2010 MacBook Pro. Incredibly well made machines. Such a shame the newish ones are non serviceable.
- Scoundreller 6y agoIunno, I've parted out a MacBook Air 2012 and 2015 and got a pretty good amount of money back for them, like, close to what I paid for them. But yes, a shame that you can no longer upgrade CPU or RAM. I think we've reached a point in personal computing where an 'old' device still has a lot of life rather than being junk. We just don't have the experiences anymore of visiting a friend with a 2y newer computer and being blown away by the improvements.
