I currently own three older MBP models. I really don't know what to do with them. I've considered setting them up into dedicated clamshell modes around the house but I don't know if with their specs its worth it. If it is, may you please recommend setups, peripherals, and generally any info/...
I have been updating my 2011 Macbook Pro to keep up with the demand of video editing. For only $300 i have been able to get the specs up to the point of a $3000 computer.

I have a 2011 13" MacBook Pro. I bought it new and it has been absolutely fantastic these last 7 years and still going strong.
However, ever since getting a new router my computer has been having trouble connecting to the WiFi. It will connect perfectly fine and very quickly for 3 or 4 days...
According to the last bullet on this page, external drives containing time machine backup should be bootable and appear as EFI Boot on the Startup Manager screen. My MBP late 2011 is running lion 10.7.5. I formatted a new external hard drive to HFS+ encrypted by erasing the drive using disk...

Hello Community
I have an MBP 8,1 (2.4GHz i5, 4GB DDR3 1333MHz, 500Gb SATA Drive, 5400 RPM).
It currently runs Sierra, albeit not too well
Will it be able to handle High Sierra? Will it run well?
Is there a better OS that I'd be better off running? It really just serves as a Mac Workstation...

Hey all!
I have a faulty MacBook Pro from 2011 that was from a line of MacBooks that had issues with the graphics card.
The graphics card didn't fail on me until feb 2017, and Apple's warranty was up on Dec 31, 2016.

Hey, guys,
I just got a new 2016 MBP and will be selling my old late 2011 MBP. Problem is that since I used to use it in closed clamshell mode, I didn't notice that the trackpad wasn't working until recently. After opening it up, I discovered that the battery has swollen. So, before selling the...
