Breathe New Life Into Your Mac! Install an SSD!

Breathe New Life Into Your Mac! Install an SSD!

Do you own a beloved MacBook or MacBook Pro that you bought between 2008 and 2012?

It’s served you well over the years, and is practically a member of your household, but now it’s starting to slow down, show its age, and fail to get things done as speedily as it once did?

Don’t despair. Unlike an aging pet, there’s actually something you can do for your Apple laptop (provided you got it between 2008 and 2012) that will give it back a lot of the speed it’s lost over the years, and offer you both a new lease on life.

Give Macinhome a shout and ask us to replace your hard drive with a solid state (aka Flash) drive!

Solid state drives (or SSD’s for short) don’t have any moving parts, and are therefore longer lasting and quicker than their rotary predecessors.

Here’s a video of the same type of MacBook Pro from a few years ago being started up and launching an application – one running with an SSD inside and the other with a standard HDD. The difference is pretty obvious:

Depending on their size, SSD’s cost between 150 and 250 dollars, so even with the added cost of the install, it’s way cheaper than buying a new computer, and can extend the life of your beloved workhorse for years. For your convenience, we’ll end this article with an exhaustive list of every Apple laptop that can support this maneuver.

Take the plunge. Your trusty Mac will thank you!
