Make sure to get one that is designed for your model if you plan on doing the same. The first upgrade I’ve done was to extend the storage by getting a permanent SD card and use it as additional drive like this one. Using the SD card slot for more storage SD Card storage extension I’ve done a few upgrades to my MacBook Pro since I bought it and which have helped me to still stay satisfied with it. the new generation of MacBook Pros have a few design choices I’m not too fond of: the keyboard (that is known to break), the Touch Bar gimmick (removing haptic feedback on Esc and Function keys) and the connectors (everything has to happen through dongles).the new generation of MacBook Pros – up until the latest upgrade – didn’t really provide much more in terms of performance or memory (RAM, CPU, etc.).It can for example drive my 38″ Dell UltraSharp monitor at full resolution (3840×1600 60 Hz). it still works after almost 6 years and is still powerful enough for the bulk of my work (thanks to some upgrades – more on this later).There’s a few reasons why I’m still clinging on to this model and don’t feel any need to upgrade to a later model:
The main reason that’s possible is because there are still a few ways to upgrade this Apple computer. Of all the Apple computers – and other computers – I’ve owned, the MacBook Pro Late 2013 is the one I’ve been able to keep the longest so far. I’ve started using Apple computers in 2008. Update: it is now February 2022 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013 after having changed the thermal paste for the CPU and GPU (Apple and FedEx did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.)Īpple says the total service time will be three to five days, and there is no fee.Update: it is now June 2021 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013 FedEx cites lithium-ion batteries as "dangerous goods" that may require special shipping procedures.
But it's not clear whether companies like FedEx will accept a product whose battery has begun to swell. According to the company, you can also mail your device to Apple. If your serial number does pop up, the site will advise you to bring the laptop to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. The serial number can be found in several locations, including on the bottom of the device and in the “About This Menu” option in the Apple menu bar in the top left corner of the screen.Īpple stresses that only a “limited number” of MacBook Pro batteries are involved.
The MacBook Pro battery replacement program applies only to models that do not have a Touch Bar and that were manufactured between October 2016 and October 2017.Īpple has created a website where consumers can enter their laptop’s serial number to see whether it’s part of the battery replacement program.
