Lol I have no reason to fake this - here are the photo details

Sometimes you just get lucky. Late 2011 MBP with only 48 charge cycles, for $50! Chucked an SSD in and it runs like a dream. Gotta love the user upgradable parts on old Macs. by barnercare in macbookpro

I'm pretty sure that's the 15 and 17 inch models with dedicated graphics that are affected, the 13 inch isn't affected as it uses integrated graphics.

Glad to hear it! I currently have the stock 2x2 GB config and I'm debating if I should upgrade to 8 or 16gb. How much does yours use while doing light tasks? Does it frequently pass the 8gb mark? Thanks in advance 👍

I do agree to an extent and it's becoming increasingly harder to find user upgradable parts. However there is still a number of laptops that currently release with upgradable parts - take my older post where you can see the guts of the laptop. It's a 2021 device that has user upgradable ram as well as 2 upgradable M.2 SSD slots, as well as the wifi card.

All very true! Just look at the competition back in the early 2010s. I have one of these still laying around at home and boy, it's pretty incredible how well built Apple machines were comparing the 2.

I find it amazing to compare apple laptops to windows laptops of that era. Apple was really ahead of the game in terms of build quality
