We can see hard data about drive performance, software issues, and RAM usage. We can quickly and within the confines of these forums help you determine what issues are at play if you use EtreCheck, available free from the Mac App Store here: Fortunately there is a safe, secure way to do that. We need a a snapshot of your software configuration. The app we like for this shows actual drive transfer speeds and also lets us see if there are any software issues that could be contributing to the "slow." If we know the actual data transfer speed you now see, I think we will be in a better position to state an expected speed increase that may make your decision easier.

I think we can cap this by taking a hard look at your MBPs current performance levels. The MagSafe power board is easily replaced, and failure of that component is usually prevented by keeping the connector and its port free of lint and other obstructions. The only "frequent failer" from wear is the hard drive cable that is why we replace the cable when we do a new drive. There are not a lot of weak spots in these models, and I've not heard of a CPU failing. And please post back is this has raised more questions.Īs for your checklist, the good/bad part is that I meet all of those criteria.Ĭonsidering the slow issues you have now, even the slower 3GB/sec SSD speed may well feel like someone strapped a jet engine to a VW Beetle. If you want to do a smaller SD you can save $30 but I'd not go any smaller than 256GB. So you are looking at around US$150 after tax.

Cheaper-about $70-and will work later in a newer computer at 6GB/sec, but won't have the useful install kit.

No room in the budget for professional help.Ĭost basis in US dollars. no history of baptisms-most wet MBPs die young.Many "dead" slot-load opt drives respond to a simple cleaning.

optical drive-working is a plus but not a primary requirement.minimal case scratching and ZERO case deformation or damage to the keyboard, trackpad, and display.battery condition-if this is the original battery, it needs to have at least 3 hours of runtime to interest me.My checklist were I considering upgrading a 2010 MBP: On the other hand, if you have but one computer and it serves critical needs, I think you are better off getting a new one.

If your finances allow and you want to combine keeping a working computer out of the recycle bin and learning at the same time, I will not dissuade you. I am blessed with enough retirement income to play with upgrades it's a bit of a hobby for me. That is a significant boost and will be quite noticeable in use, but nothing like the 500MB/sec speed the fast bus in the 2011-2012 will produce. The fastest solid state drive compatible with that model will do 250MB/sec. The factory mech drives when running up to nominals can do about 80MBps transfers. The 20 MBP13 had a 3GBps drive bus the 20 had a 6GB/sec drive bus. Throwing RAM at a hard drive issue won't help. However, most "slow" reports are due to the entry-level mechanical hard drives Apple installed. The 2009-2012 MBP 13s are reliable and durable workhorses. And it all comes down to the hard drive bus. Even given my "save'um all" attitude, the 2010 MBP13 has me fence-sitting.

I like to keep older computers in service others here will say put the money toward a newer model. "Is it worth it" is a hard question to answer because there is a wide ocean of opinions on the subject and funds available to owners.
