If she violently demands a 15", inform her Apple doesn't make those anymore, and the 16" is quite pricy. The 2015 models are passable, but they are fairly dated, and the batteries won't last forever, and batteries are an expensive swap that can involve a significant amount of the laptop as Apple glues the batteries to the chassis, and most Apple stores won't do that in-house, they ship to a depot which makes a battery swap a 1-2 week affair.Īgain, I strongly suggest simply buying a new one.

If you are absolutely 100% fixated purely on used Macs, do not get one from 2016-2019 with the butterfly keyboards, as they are terrible and it doesn't take a Mac person to know that as this was "front page of CNN.com" territory. If she wants a decent Mac, get her a decent Mac. Some none at all.Ĭlick to expand.Part of the whole "doing thing for my gf" task is that what *you* do isn't necessarily what *she* does. Both Adorama and B&H have had $50 deals off and on since these new machines launched (which isn't huge but hey $50 is $50). I'd also recommend checking other authorized resellers for M1 custom configs. Not to mention as this is Apple's way forward, the ARM based chips will be supported longer into the future than x86 ones. So again, I can't stress enough that not buying an M1 equipped Mac is basically a terrible idea. The M1 smokes every Intel desktop chip and trades blows with every AMD chip. Believe whatever you want but even the 8GB config is probably good enough for most users.
The M1 Macs turn the idea of needing a bunch of RAM on its head. If she really never does a task beyond browsing and FB and general office tasks + Netflix, then 8GB of RAM will be plenty. If you want the machine to last for 5+ years and need more HDD space than 256GB, then I'd recommend stepping up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of space which can be done for $1459. It's incredibly fast, will basically do all of her tasks instantly (including wake), has a 20 hour battery life, and is completely silent (passively cooled). In that case I'd buy a new base level Macbook Air for $1000. From your description it doesn't sound that way at all for her. To answer your question directly, yes there is a refurb section, but now with Apple M1 out it seems capitally stupid to not buy an M1 equipped Mac unless you still need to run a bunch of x86 programs. $2000 for base model doesn't hit until the 15", but the 15" inch is obviously and clearly intended for professionals that need that kind of hardware (it bumps up to discrete GPUs, processors with more than 4 cores, and much higher RAM and SSD configurations). The Air has started at $999 (and often $899) for years, and the MBP 13" behind it at $1200 or so. But what is the problem that it is not registering both of the new ones at the same time? I had researched more of this and my laptop should be compatible to 16 gb, not sure if I got the wrong "cheap" ram that doesn't work with my computer.Well entry level Macbook's have never been $2000. Obviously both new sticks work and both slots work. I did this method to the other 8 GB and with the same results. Can anyone with a mid 2010 13' Macbook Pro 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo P8800 and (2x8GB) 16GB DDR3 RAM in a.

I then took one 8 GB ram and then my 2 GB ram (that came with my computer for a total of 10) and the ram showed up as 10 GBs. Over at this Macbook thread mwhities was able to install 16GB into a mid 2010 13' Macbook 2.4 Core 2 Duo P8600 that was otherwise stated to be limited by Apple to a max of 4GB and by OWC to a max of 8GB. The little buffering circle would freeze and I would have to force a shut off (kernal panick?). I bought Corsair ram ( ) and tried installing it last night w hen I installed them I had the screen on boot up show the gray screen and the gray apple.

Had some memclean type software for a while, since deleted, that showed I usually had 10+ GB free and unused. I have 16GB on my 2012 MacBook Pro, and run lotza-stuff on it, at the same time, regularly.

So I have recently bought a 16 GB ram upgrade for my Macbook Pro Mid 2010. Answer (1 of 4): Sure is, almost certainly.
