The 15-inch 2010 MBP series had a serious issue with the video hardware that needs a new logic board to properly fix. The reason I go outside my comfort zone on this is your sub-model. That is a strong statement for me to make because I strongly believe in keeping computers in service as long as possible. I would consider replacing the computer rather than upgrading it. Buying this computer refurbished or used I could save some money.Īnybody have an expert opinion? Would upgrading my current computer refresh it's lifespan? Would it last me another four years of university?
So Potentially, maybe a 2015 MBP 13" 16GB Memory with 256GB Storage. Or, alternatively, should I invest in a new computer altogether? Looking at prices, I realize I'd be willing to drop to a 13" and 256GB Storage, but I think I would want to go maximum RAM since I'm tired of a slow computer and the new MacBooks I've heard don't have upgradable storage.

Should I invest the money to get another reliable computer or should I consider upgrading the computer I have? On I could spend $438 USD, including shipping, and get a kit to upgrade my 500gb hard drive to a 500GB SSD Drive, upgrade to 8GB RAM, and a fresh battery (My current battery has 900 cycles). I'm going to be going to University next fall and need a reliable computer. Overall it's been a great computer, but it's time for an upgrade. I really like this computer for all the ports it has (It has a CD drive which I use for watching movies and burning CDs, and Thunderbolt, SD slot, USB 3, etc.). 500GB SATA Disk, 4GB DDR3 1067MHz, 2.53GHz Intel Core i5.
I currently have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 15".
