No gaming or video editing.Ĭan anyone suggest if I should upgrade this? If so, what upgrades should I be looking at? Or is it time to bid it goodbye and get new? I use it mostly for internet research and writing in Word. When I click on "About this mac" it says: Every internet search I did for upgrading a 2011 MacBook came back with articles that were a few years old, so perhaps it is past its useful life. I'm not sure if upgrades would be worth it. It had a good run and has given me 8 years of solid service, far more than any PC ever had (although I still prefer my work computer for Windows - I can never find stuff on my mac).Īnyway, I either need to invest in upgrades or replace it completely. The mousepad doesn't recognize a two-fingered click (but I can use a real mouse) and the screen has a crack in it (cosmetic but annoying) from the time I left it on the floor and stepped on it in the middle of the night (still mad about that). Secondary problems are the battery doesn't keep a charge long (but I almost always have it plugged in). My MacBook Pro has been running super slow which is the main problem. Hoping some computer folks can help me out.
