Macbook pro 13 mid 2010 upgrades upgrade#

But you have already done the main upgrade that I do for my clients: swapped the spinning HD with an SSD. In the corner of the world where I live there are still plenty of MacBooks Pro 2010 in circulation.

So what do you think? Anyone did the same upgrade, can you share if it gave the MacBook a new life? Obviously the bottleneck would be the Core2duo processor which you can't really do anything about it. I'm just not sure if it worths to spend another 100euro just to find out that the whole thing is just not good enough anymore for the current software, regardless of the 16GB. I've always loved my Macbook and hate to leave it collecting dust in the cabinet or even toss it. Recently I found out that OWC has tested that Macbook mid 2010 would work with 16GB, it gave me an idea to try another upgrade. I purchased a desktop PC in early 2016 and hasn't been using the Macbook since then.

early 2015: replaced the hard drive with SSD 256GBДЄfter each upgrade, it has always worked a bit better, but only until the next OSX version came out and then it would become impossible to use again.

early 2013: added 2GB RAM (4GB + 2GB = 6GB), at the time, this was the maximum, installing 4GB + 4GB didn't work for me.

I have done the following upgrades so far: You would need to close all other applications just to make it possible to do a video call, and it still lagged even after that.

Before any of the upgrades, the CPU fan was constantly noisy whenever running any application, making it impossible to use. I own a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 (Macbook 7,1) which has gone through several upgrades.
