Re: Macbook Pro 2010 Hardware Upgrade questions

A big +1 to Crucial. I use their SSD drives and memory as well. You can browse to their site and use the system configurator to match the right hardware to the drives you want to upgrade. They also show you what tools you’ll need and provide them at a very reasonable cost. Big fan of

Hi Helga, you should be able to use an adapter to convert to the form of USB you require, I wouldn’t think that would be a problem. As for trade in, Apple does have a refurbished computer program but I would think you would make a lot more money selling the air directly maybe on Craigslist or

Re: Here comes a new adopter: I'm a really! really! happy camper

Hi Sharon, great questions. The lightning connector has been on the iPhone now for several generations. This is the small connector that can be attached in either direction and provides power or a data connection to the phone. On the 6 and 6S it’s the connector next to the 3.5 jack.

Re: Here comes a new adopter: I'm a really! really! happy camper

How does this Lightning thingie work? Is there a special jack for the cable? Is it like Bluetooth? Also, do you think it works as well, if not better, than a headset? I definitely still want to use headsets, as it's much easier to understand with my cochlear implant. Will I need Bluetooth for

Hi, I doubt that Apple would take your MacBook Air on trade. You'd likely need to see it yourself elsewhere. Regarding the USB connectivity. You'll just need to purchase an adaptor that can go from USB C to USB. There are adaptors that do this by themselves, or multi-function adaptors that

I would prefer a full touchscreen. However, Apple does not have one yet. So, I would prefer an iPad Pro, Mac, combo unit. Apple does not have that yet either. My current Mac is a MacBook Air 11" 2011. It is getting old. It only has 2 GB RAM as that was the maximum available at the time.

Re: Macbook Pro 2010 Hardware Upgrade questions

Hi, The SSD will actually make a huge difference. Since you already have 8 GB RAM, that's a good thing as well. I've put SSD's into quite a number of 2012 MBP's lately and the users have noticed huge improvements. With respect to installing Sierra on that machine, it's kind of your call.
