My pro is 500 GB HD, 4 G Ram. I have used less than 90 GB total. I tried to update the OS from Mavericks to High Sierra and it "crashed and burned" even though HS specs on Apple said it would work with my computer. Here's the dumb part: Never backed up anything! Took it to repair shop. Told...

I have a 13-inch MBP mid 2010 (4 GB RAM) which I am considering replacing with a new one. But I am not sure if I should buy the new MBP as I am looking for a laptop supporting 32 GB RAM so I thought I would upgrade to 8GB RAM and insert an SSD in my MBP for now. Do you think it is worth...

My mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11 can be in one of two states. Either working like a dream or struggling to open most apps (when they do most can hardly function). It tends to be after a couple of hours after turning on that my macbook starts working again and then once it's...
