    2010 MacBook Pro "Retina Display"

    I'll start by saying that this "hack" is not for everyone. It is certainly not elegant, and for people who need to move their laptops around often it might not be practical. But, if you have an older Unibody MacBook Pro and feel like it has plenty of life left in it, then read on. Also, if...

    MB 2008 Unibody - image retention / ghosting / low fps

    Hello dear colleagues! This problem started yesterday. Very long image rendering time (low fps) and ghosting. Sometimes there are stripes. There are no problems on the external monitor. So the problem is either in the cable or in the matrix. How to determine what exactly is the problem? I tried...

    Mid-2012 Unibody MBP displayport issues

    So basically my mid-2012 unibody mbp 13" has some issues with the displayport. It works and I can use a monitor with it, but when it goes to sleep mode and then comes back on, the monitor doesn't show anything as if it's still in sleep mode. The monitor is being detected and does show under...

    Upgrade Your MacBook's Wireless Card! (WiFI AC + BT4.2) (Open Source Guide!)

    If you're like me and still holding on to a Unibody MacBook from 2010 - 2012, you'll have noticed that the wireless connectivity can be lacking on these models! While this guide won't cover Macbooks made in 2009 and prior (at least not yet), I will be focussing on Macbooks made from 2010...

    I just bought a unibody mid 2012 15 inch 2.6 GHz i7 in 2020. Is the laptop still worth it?

    I bought it for 380 bucks including tax & shipping off eBay. Its got 1500 battery cycles. I plan to put in an SSD & 16GB of Ram. I don't plan to put in a new battery. Would this laptop still be worth it today? and how long will it last? I plan to use it for heavy graphic design work, and...

    Holiday MacBook Woes.

    To make a long story short, I bought 3 2010 MacBooks for the kids as presents for the upcoming holiday (Christmas for us). It was the hardest thing to date so far.

    Macbook without HD, no OS X, no download option

    Back story: I recently purchased a 2010 MBP for a couple of beers worth of $$ and replaced the charging port for a few more beers worth. To my surprise, the battery looks to be in relatively good health. I have no idea how long it has been stored empty, but hopefully I'll be able to see the...

    Looking to move mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13" to mid-2010 MBP 15" unibody
