MacBook Air :: Upgrade Hard Drive In Late 2010 Model?

Jun 22, 2012

I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, 13 inch, with the 126 gb hard drive. I was curious if there was a way to upgrade the hard drive at all. I know this isn't "officially" suported, but I've seen some compines online that claim to do it.

I haven't priced out the SSD drives or anything, so I'm not even sure if it's cost effective to upgrade. 

Info:
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

MacBook Air :: 1.86 Late 2008 Model Versus 2010 Model

Nov 2, 2010

i am contemplating buying a late 2008 mbp air i found for $800 on CL. it has the 1.86 ghz 2gig ram and an 128 gb ssd. would that be comparable to the new 2010 version? i know the new one will edge it out, but by how much? i do a lot of art using flash, illustrator, and ps but just want to use this machine occasionally when i travel, ill have another machine for the heavy lifting if needed be. is that a good deal? or should i just wait and get the 2010 version which is double that?

MacBook Pro :: New Hard Drive In 13" 2010 Model

Jun 3, 2010

Im thinking of upgrading my MBP hard drive up to around 500GB or 1TB (5400rpm and 8 cache). I know Mac's are funny when upgrading things so is there a limit to hard drive space? Also how much power does the current hard drive use as i dont want to loose much battery life. will it slow down my mac at all, i have heard about people getting problems when upgrading hard drive. Lastly will it void any of my warranty (i know the new hard drive wont be under warranty)

Wish to upgrade my PM G5 model 7.3. (June 2004). I have a 2 GHz dual core. Most 3,5" SATA HD today are SATA-300 and SATA-600 could either of these SATA HD be used in my G5, or is there some other specification on the SATA that I need to know before I purchase it? I am looking for two 1 TB HD to upgrade.

Mac Mini :: 2010 MM Hard Drive Upgrade Level Of Difficulty?

Nov 7, 2010

I have a 2010 Mini with 8GB of RAM on the way and I'd like to hear opinions on how difficult the HD upgrade process is. I'm looking to put an Intel X-25M SSD inside. The instructions at ifixit.com seem pretty straightforward but it looks like there is very little room for error in some spots.

I'm not shy about opening any Mac or any gadget for that matter. I've upgraded the HD and RAM in all the towers I've owned, upgraded the HD and optical drive in a PowerBook G4 12" and done the Optibay swap with RAID setup in the older (non-unibody) 15" MBP. More recently, I replaced the glass screen on my shattered HTC Evo 4G.

IMac :: 27" I5 (late 2010) RAM Upgrade?

Nov 14, 2010

I've got a 27" imac i5, with 4 RAM slots. I do actually have 2x2Gb installed, but that's not enough to run windows 7 smoothly with Parallels.

I would like to upgrade the RAM. Can I buy 1x4Gb now, and add another 1x4Gb later? (short on money at the moment...)

The two original modules are installed in BANK 0/DIMM0 and BANK 1/DIMM0. Should I install the new module in any free slot available?

Another question: is this memory fine?

PATRIOT SODIMM DDR3 4GB(1X4GB)1333Mhz MacCompliant


I read some topics about ram upgrade, but it's not clear wether you can add one single module...melagodo

MacBook Pro :: 13" - 2010 Model Versus 2009 Model

Oct 31, 2010

I am trying to decide whether to get the 2010 model or the cheaper 2009 model. These are the differences that I've found so far for the base model. For arguments sake, let's say they both have 4gb ram (most people selling them have upgraded to 4gb)

2010: 2.4ghz, longer battery, nvidia 320m

2009: 2.26ghz, (slightly) shorter battery, nvidia 9400m

Having a slightly slower cpu, less battery life (about 7 hours rather than 9) and a slightly weaker gpu don't bother me so much, as I will be mostly using the macbook pro for internet surfing and writing word documents

My question is, are there any other differences? (that would make me go for the 2010 rather than the 2009 model) - maybe differences in the display? shape? something else?

IMac :: I3 3.06ghz 2010 Model Versus Mac Pro 3.0ghz 2007 Model?

Sep 1, 2010

I am about to buy a computer and just been doing some research. When I went to best buy and ran a geekbench score on the imac it was like around 5800.

A seller on ebay who is selling a Mac Pro 3.0 ghz just ran the score and posted the results of 6214

[URL]


Based off of this score alone wouldn't it mean that the 2007 Mac Pro is faster than the newer 2010 imac

MacBook Pro :: What Does Rtl Stand For In Wd Hard Drive Model Name

Aug 5, 2009

I am looking at the western digital 500 blue hard drive like on newegg, and i notice that there was two model names for the same drive. however i did not know what they represent exactly. my guess was that the wd5000bevtrtl meant retail and the the wd5000bevt was for system builders or bulk buyers. so is it that the only difference is that one comes in the package and the other does not. right. cause i saw one at besy buy and one is more expensive. now does this mean that the retail one is less likely to fail or do i run the same risk. i know this is a stupid question that may seem a little stupid but i just want to make sure.

MacBook Pro :: 1199 Model With A 250GB Hard Drive

Dec 13, 2010

I just recently picked up a MacBook Pro, the $1199 model with a 250GB hard drive from Best Buy (Only reason - 24 months no interest with their store credit card). I would like to upgrade the hard drive, but need to know exactly what size screwdrivers to use. I was able to take out the 10 screws and unplug the SATA connector from the hard drive, but there are star screws that are on the actual hard drive I need to remove and put on the new one...Since I didn't have a star screwdriver, I had to put it back together. ONE screw will not go in all the way on the side, and its annoying me. Because of this, I'm scared to take it apart again without the proper tools and stripping a screw or hole. if

MacBook :: Maximum Memory In Late 2006 Model?

Jan 22, 2010

I have one of these Macbooks that I want to pass on to the daughter of a friend for use in college. To try and extend its life and usefulness a little I was wondering if I could add more memory. I'm aware that the Apple tech specs state that 2GB of PC2-5300 DDR2 is the maximum supported, but since I have 2 x 2GB of that memory spare I was wondering if anyone here on the forums know different?

MacBook :: 2007, Late Mid-year Model Is Overheating?

May 14, 2012

My MacBook (2007, late mid-year model) is overheating and the batter cover has buckled.  Now the battery does not seem to want to charge.  Do I need to replace the battery?  The computer?  What will help?  I'd like to use the computer for as long as possible, though I realize I am probably overdue to replace it. It is my only computer at the moment.

MacBook Pro :: Replacing The Hard Drive In The Late 2008 15"?

Apr 15, 2012

I have all the data double-backed up so I'm not worried about that, but assuming I have to replace it what can I get? I'd heard that you can put any 2.5" SATA drive into a late 2008 15" mac-book pro, but occasionally I see consumer reviews saying things like "only compatible with 2009 mac-book pros onwards" or "not compatible with lion".

MacBook Pro :: Speakers And Sound On New System 15 Inferior To Late 2008 Same Model

Oct 2, 2009

I am listening to the same songs on Itunes playing on a late 2008, Early 2009 Macbook Pro 15 compared to a brand new MBP 15 and the speakers (or the sound) seems much better on the older Pro still running Leopard (more base and deeper sound), as opposed to the new one running SL. Has anything changed that would account for this? Are they the same system running off of different operating systems, or has the hardware changed. And is there anything to do about it?

MacBook Pro :: 2010 Model Cleaning Sticky Keys?

May 13, 2010

I was just wondering if anyone can offer some advice on cleaning macbook pro keys.

I spilt pepsi on my 15' macbook pro about a week ago and somehow managed to save it. I took it to next byte and they took it apart and cleaned it, although they informed me that they couldn't clean the keys for me and that they were sticking from the pepsi residue. They told me the entire top case would need replaced at a cost of $630.

I have looked up how to clean the keyboard on macbook pros, but am having trouble finding the right model, everything i find is from older versions of macbook pros.

I need to know what I should do to stop the keys sticking, and if with the new pros if it really is that hard to remove and clean the keys?

What should i do taking into account that I have never taken a computer apart before and wouldn't really know what to do.

It is the 2.4 GHz 15" macbook pro.
