Slime whats the best SSD and Ram options for a macbook pro MD101X/A. I looked at vids installing the shyt. Thats cake
I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm more of a desktop/pc person (I just happen to have a macbook air too). Hopefully somebody else can help out

I think the Samsung evo's are the best, but the best value is Crucial.
Ram doesn't matter as long, as it's for mac compatible and the right size.

If you got the time and money you can do this. Just don't strip any screws like I did.

I did this last year. Was a pain at first because the screws are hidden behind the wires so you had to be careful and shyt. But yea the mod is worth it.

The Samsung Evo SSD's aren't the best...the Pro's are....the performance between the Evo and Crucial MX100 is negligible at best...

Need a new laptop. Im on this apple wave right now.

Not editing videos, Got crazy amount of music over 500 GB

heavy internet usage

basic shyt slime

Get the MBA, you won't use 1% of the power of the pro if you just downloading music and browsing the web for porn.


Don't listen to these clowns telling you to get a pro, the lightness and thinness of the air outweighs the retina screen. Unless you want to wait till JUNE for the retina air. Keep in mind the retina pro been out for a couple years and hardly anything still takes advantage of that resolution

I tried it, but my lazy ass didn't use the right screw driver and stripped the small screw in that black bracket. :snoop:

Not sure what I'm gonna do.

Nah bruh, I have both and the MBA is weak. The 4 GBs of RAM is rough, especially with Chrome. A twitch video with a couple apps open can completely lock that shyt up.
