upgrade macbook pro hard drive early 2011

I am in no way a Mac expert but did some. When you get your next Mac, be sure to avoid mistakes that destroy your laptop so you don't send it to an early grave. I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro (see attached screenshot) that has been acting very slow lately, even after a clean installation of the operating system. But when your computer has so many small quirks that it's barely usable, you should cut your losses and look into a replacement machine that will perform much better. Little problems, like your charger not working unless it's in just the right spot, dead pixels on the display, stuck keys, and crackling speakers aren't necessarily signs that you need to replace your Mac. You can live with a few odd issues if they don't impact your ability to use it properly, but eventually, something big will go wrong and you'll have to decide whether to fix it or upgrade.

An old computer is often a lot like an old car. And as discussed above, it doesn't make a lot of sense to pour hundreds of dollars into an old or even obsolete machine when you can get a new one that will last longer.īarring a major hardware catastrophe, a long list of small issues can quickly become a big problem too. In these cases, your computer is unusable until you get it fixed or replace it.
