I currently have a 2011 MBP and am looking to upgrade. A salesperson at BestBuy told me the other day that an 8gb ram MBP is essentially the same in terms of a 16gb PC laptop because of OS and program sizes. And i'm not sure how accurate that statement is. I am considering going away from a...

So I bought a used MBP through a friend and on the about this Mac it says it is an early 2011 and shows specs but when I punch the serial number (matches on the bottom and in the about this Mac) it comes up as a 2009 model. I haven't found anything about this but I did hear it is possible to...

I have a mid-2010 MBP that I upgraded with a 128gb SSD in the normal bay, and a 1tb HDD in the superdrive bay. I use the SSD for the OS and symlinked most of the user files to an HDD in the superdrive bay (thus keeping the minimal amount of information on the SSD). Since upgrading to Sierra I...

Hi there, I have a 2012 MacBookPro9,2 that for the last week has been restarting intermittently (but very frequently). I have tested (and replaced) the RAM, ran the Apple Hardware Test (with no issues), run a harddrive test (with no issues and pretty new SSD) and reformatted, all to no avail...

Hi, as a lot of people on the forum I was waiting for the new skylake MPB in march, then in June and now, well, you know the story. But as I was looking for what the competitors are offering, it seems that there is not a big difference in performance between Haswell and Skylake (around 6%)...
