CEXUAL MISHAPS

I rarely buy new. One's junk is my treasure, or so I thought -- sometimes junk is junk -- and my latest adventure taught me many lessons in upCEXing. Let me share the wisdom I inadvertently acquired dealing with CEX and old technology for the modern times.

This is a guide for whoever is looking to buy a used Mac and get the best value for a limited budget. Having done a lot of research during this bumpy adventure, this “essay” will answer the following existential questions:

• Can a Mac Pro shaped like a trashcan do the job today?

• Why dust off an old FireWire iSight camera and how?

• Is third party SSD blade worth the trouble?

• Which budget display comes close to Apple’s retina experience?

• Why choose an Intel Mac over a new M1 or M2 “affordable” and more powerful Mac Mini?

• Is CEX’s 24-month warranty risk-free?

My iMac 5K (late 2014) is dying. It's had three open heart surgeries (logic board replacements) within the first three years of its extended warranty. A few months after the warranty ended, I had to replace the power supply for a third party part which actually fixed several USB/Bluetooth/audio streaming dropout issues I had had from the start, issues that Apple’s geniuses attributed to software. A genius by script is a fool. Now, the iMac's wonderful screen's usable space is shrinking by the month, a beige fog thickening from the edges in, creating a widening trench where ghosts appear and fade away very, very slowly. The screen defects coupled with hardware errors that point to a bad core prompted me to look for a replacement machine. It had to be Intel. Apple's new M1 and M2 computers offer great power but no upgradeable route for the future, and many of my favourite software plugins are Intel only.

Initially I looked for a used Intel Mac Mini, which has just been discontinued by Apple with the introduction of their new M2 Mini. It had to be an i7. Sadly they go for a great lump of dough and they are highly desirable, therefore hard to find -- I love recycling, but hate the chase... During my search, I stumbled across the "trashcan" Mac Pro. To my surprise, people can’t seem to shift them on the second-hand market -- not desirable, therefore cheap and easy to find -- my kind of bargain.

I always wanted a "trashcan" Mac Pro. I once had the Power Mac G4 Cube, and find the late 2013 Pro (not so affectionally dubbed ‘trashcan’) a direct successor to my beloved Cube. It’s more than nostalgia, I assure you.

Power Mac G4 Cube 2000 - 2001

I chose CEX for their 24 month peace-of-mind warranty, and set the sat-nav for the closest Trashcan Pro available. The unit was pristine! I drove back home drooling, almost foaming at the mouth, I even resisted stopping for a toilet break -- I was the owner of the legendary "trashcan" Mac Pro! YES! The same one that went for £5K when new! I paid for it all in trade! BARGAIN!

Except it wasn't a bargain at all.

You saw that coming, of course; why would I write about happy times? The Trashcan Pro was trash. This would be the start of ongoing trials and tribulations which I hope to be done with by the time I finish writing this.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) 2013 - 2019

At first glance, the Mac Pro (late 2013) may appear like a step back from my iMac 5K (late 2014) but it actually supports a newer OS (Monterey vs the iMac's Big Sur). The Mac Pro is also still officially supported by Apple whilst the iMac became obsoletea few years back. Also, the Mac Pro's guts, including the CPU, can be upgraded up to a 12 core CPU, 128 GB RAM vs my iMac which is already maxed out with a consumer grade CPU (i7 4core), 32 GB RAM, 4 GB VRAM. It seemed like the right upgrade in theory, but I would not find out with a defective unit.

CEX has a 14-day return policy and a 24-month peace-of-mind warranty, YIPPEE!

I chose a different model located further away (London) and opted for delivery. Eventually, after an agonising week trying to rouse CEX out of their stupor (the item remained at 'stock-picking-in-progress' for five days), I received a unit that had surely gone through hell and back: scratches, discolouration, sticky spillage, dust, dust, dust, and I'm not talking fine dust; I pulled dust-bunnies from the grills the width of my pinky toe.

CEX has a 14-day return policy and a 24-month peace-of-mind warranty, so I gave it a chance.

Lesson starts here, my friends…

• SSD, or how to upgrade an old MAC’s storage.

Sadly, the Mac Pro came with a third party 512 GB SSD fitted with an adapter.

Adapters - buy cheap buy thrice!

Between 2012 and 2019, Apple used two types of connector for their SSD blades, both proprietary. In order to use a third party blade, one would need an adapter. The part is widely available and cheap. Thankfully? No. Apple rarely does things willy nilly. In order to work nice with the Mac, the SSD itself needs to comply to the Mac's and its OS' requirements, ECC being the start of many geeky terms I won't bore you with. So you think you can use any SSD with the said adapter? No. No you cannot. It might work for a little while, but you'll soon encounter issues with basic functionality. You'll see the blank folder-of-doom with the question mark. You'll have to zap the PRAM in order to force it to detect the SSD, which can only be done with a wired keyboard, I should add (I love "vintage", but I'm not a fan of wires). Latest Mac OS update that necessitates a restart will struggle to complete and leave you sitting at a blank screen hoping that another PRAM ZAP will do the trick. Beyond that, every time you turn the Mac off, the adapter will cause a kernel panic and have the Mac instantly reboot instead, punishing you for modding it with a cheap hack.

☒ 2012 - mid 2013 7-17 pin SSD APPLE connector

☑︎ Mid 2013 - 2019 12-16 pin SSD APPLE connector

Cometh OWC, the Mac friendly people who offer a solution at a premium price, of course. Their Aura Pro X2 blades offer speeds the Mac's old architecture can realise, but at 4x the price of SSD blades on the market, I decided to look secondhand. Remember CEX and their peace-of-mind warranty?

CEX happened to have a 1 TB OWC at a bargain price — oh goody! Several days later, the order got cancelled. Apparently they couldn't dispatch the item without further explanation and the item returned online for the taking. I tried again. I'm still waiting. I expect the same outcome, but I have decided to play along and see where that leads me.

In the meantime, I discovered that Apple used three manufacturers for their SSD blades: Samsung, Toshiba and Sandisk. They used two different connectors: 7-17 pin between 2012 and up to mid 2013, and 12-16 pin from mid 2013 up to 2019. Technically, it's possible to source out an OEM Apple part! Good news! CEX, 14 day, 24 month. Can’t go wrong… Unless the item remains in stock picking limbo and ends in cancellation. The OEM Samsung did not return in-stock, however, and I’m still waiting on the OWC...

Cometh eBay. £45 shipping included, Apple OEM made by Samsung, 512 GB, apparently in good condition. I should get it in 48 hours. More on the SSD saga later.

• DISPLAY for MAC peeps.

Coming from a 5K retina display at 218 PPI which looks like ink on paper -- no apparent pixelation -- I could not go for the common sub 100 PPI display. High pixel density monitors are not easy to find, mainly because the PC market caters to gamers (fast refresh rate performance over quality). You'll find plenty of 4K screens at 120 Hz, but what about PPI?

Well...

Research lead me to a 2016 LG 24inch 4K display which offers 185PPI and a displayport. LG has since updated the model, rebranding it under their ultrafine line which only adds 1 pixel “advantage” over the old one (186PPI)... But with the latter using USB-C connectivity, and being twice as expensive, the old model it is! CEX, 14-day, 24-month warranty… But there’s a snag… They don't ship displays. Collect only.

The nearest one of the three available was in Bradford, seventy miles from my door. I love an adventure — DAY TRIP! Bradford is a massive crater illuminated to the brim with rows and rows of fairylights, like standing at the heart of a gigantic beehive breeding glowing larvas. I enjoyed the sight. The CEX employees were lovely. I discovered Dunkin' Donuts had infiltrated the UK too! Bonus! I got a £10 box of 6 (3 maple, 3 Boston creams) possibly for the first and last time, at least on this side of the pond. Dunkin’ Donuts isn’t worth nearly £2 a piece. But I felt the rush of the adventure, and the fruition of a successful bargain hunt raised my spirit.

CEX was too busy to let me test the display. 14 day. 24 month. Can return it to any store. High spirits. Sugar rush. I chose the countryside roads. Sundown. Narrow lanes. No street light. Peaks, twists, the thickest fog I have ever encountered. An omen.

Home, safe, the display turned out to be complete garbage: rows of dead pixels; wide long “burn marks” or "smears" with a bubble on the physical surface of the screen. I began to ask myself what is a 14-day / 24-month warranty worth if everything I buy from CEX is unusable?! I promptly returned the display at my local CEX. Despite it all, spellbound by their 14-day / 24-month warranty, I gave them another chance. What are the odds that a second display turned out as bad as the first? Sheffield? Crystal Peaks? Haven’t been in a while, why not… I waited for the online confirmation the next day, but got a cancellation notice instead. Apparently, the display can’t be located.

(…)

Cometh eBay. Pristine condition. No warranty, but fuss-free. Lovely seller. Unit like new. Why was he selling such a wonderful display? Because he is using Windows, and Windows can’t scale a high pixel density display like the Mac does. My gain. Cheaper than CEX’s. Jackpot!

One last piece of the puzzle missing, though…

• SSD saga continued…

After a week, the 1 TB OWC gets cancelled at CEX on the day I received the 512 GB Apple OEM from eBay. I could finally test my new Trashcan Pro properly.

Let’s gather up the gear I’m playing with first.

My "new" kit

• Mac Pro (Late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 with dual AMD FirePro D500 3 GB

£380 from CEX

I added 2x 16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3, leaving 2 empty slots for later IF the Mac Pro is a good egg. The good egg gets more ram. The bad egg goes back to CEX and I rethink the whole thing.

I switched the problematic third party SSD with an Apple OEM (Samsung) 512 GB SSD, bypassing the need for an unsupported adapter.

• LG 24inch 4K UHD IPS LED 24UD58-B DISPLAY

£130 on eBay

As close to Apple’s retina display as a budget monitor can get. I’m very pleased with this purchase. I work with it at a 3008 x 1692 scale. My eyes can’t focus at a close enough distance from the screen to notice any discernible pixelation. At 185 PPI versus the iMac’s 218 PPI, the window round edges aren’t as smooth, but by a narrow margin. You’d need to be as hopelessly finicky as me to notice.

• Accessories

Magic keyboard + trackpad (space grey), Apple HI-FI (more on that), ORICO SSD 10 Gbps enclosure + various USB3 external HDDs, Apple iSight camera (more on that).

First, I dressed the Apple OEM SSD with a layer of thermal tape then formatted it in online recovery mode (command + option + R on restart), and installed Monterey from scratch. Since, the Mac Pro has behaved like a Mac should.

LESSON #1: don’t use third party SSD with adapter.

I should add that I tested 3 different adapters — all resulted with a less than desirable outcome. Unless you prevent your Mac to ever go to sleep and never, EVER restart it — I can’t recommend a third party solution.

Orico 10 Gbps SSD enclosure

Since I had bought a WD 1 TB “green” SSD to test the setup with, I opted for an ORICO SSD enclosure for fast external storage, which brings us to the Mac Pro’s older connections problem.

However tempting it is to get a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure, HDD, RAID, etc… DON’T! I already had a G-TECH raid for my iMac 5K, and the external SSD enclosure proved faster despite being limited by the Mac Pro’s USB3 speed (5 Gbps versus Thunderbolt 2’s 20 Gbps) which comes down to the mechanical HDD’s limitation versus the SSD’s. And yes, the SSD on USB3 outperformed the 7200RPM RAID 0 speed on both small and large files using Blackmagic’s speed test software.

LESSON #2: don’t waste your time and money searching for a Thunderbolt 2 solution.

Many RAID enclosures or external HDDs with Thunderbolt 2 are now too old to be trusted, and unless the unit is designed for the Mac, their software won’t be supported with the latest Mac OS. My G-Tech works with the Mac’s own disk utility tool, but others don’t and will be formatted for Windows.

Apple Hi-FI still rockin'

Speakers… I have 2 HomePod Minis that I wrestled with for a while. I used them -- or tried to use them -- as a stereo pair. Ideally I wanted to reproduce the look of the old Powermac G4 Cube with its gorgeous spherical speakers (see G4 Cube picture at the very top). But the HomePod Minis never worked as expected with the iMac 5K nor with the Mac Pro. I suspect it comes down to the older bluetooth 4 as the HomePod Minis play well with my Macbook Air M1 (bluetooth 5). Never mind, my Apple HI-FI still works and the Mac Pro has and optical sound output. The HI-FI is a fabulous boombox. They are hard to find and fetch a fortune, but I’m lucky to have gotten one back then. Apple’s HI-FI truly sounds amazing.

LESSON #3: old gear is fun

Apple iSight Camera 2003 - 2006

Speaking of legacy products… I love Apple’s old iSight camera. With the iMac 5K sporting a superior and integrated cam, I benched the FireWire iSight Camera and never thought I’d use it again… Except, the Mac Pro doesn’t come with a webcam, and it’s enough that I have to stare at LG’s generic plastic design all day that I thought of resurrecting the old iSight for a bit of Apple chic.

But it has FireWire 400, I hear you say dismissively?

Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 + FW800 - FW400 adapters

I found Apple’s Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter on Amazon for a reasonable price, £2 more than the cheapest one on eBay or CEX. With a £3 FW800 to FW400 adapter, my iSight camera is standing proud above all this “new” kit and working fine. Nostalgia? No! Not “entirely”! I call it recycling. Good for the environment, and I look better in standard definition too!

• SO IS IT WORTH ALL THE FUSS?!!!

Or is it Mac-fanatic indulgence? The Mac Pro actually outperforms the iMac 5k on many things, and I got quite lucky. As it turns out, the first Mac Pro I returned was manufactured in February 2014, not long after the model was first introduced. The second one, which is running smoooooothly so far, was manufactured in October 2018, not long before the model was discontinued. How can you find out when your secondhand Mac was manufactured? Here’s the link for you.

PROS

• Runs Monterey like a top

• Faster with multi-thread computation (particularly with video encoding) than many newer Macs

• Standalone unit — if it goes bust, I still have a working screen — if the screen dies, I still have the Mac Pro

• Upgradable to impressive specs - CPU - RAM

• Can boot with Windows unlike the M1/M2 Macs

• Compatibility with existing software

• Still handles latest pro apps without a sweat

CONS

• Very slightly slower on every day single-thread tasks such as surfing and mail (more cores = lower GHz)

• Output: Thunderbolt 2 (legacy mini displayport connection), USB 3 (5 Gbps), HDMI 1.4 (30Hz @ 4K), bluetooth 4

• Expensive eGPU expansion only

Right, enough geeking about for a while. I do hope this has helped some of you.

[ad_1] While the MacEbook Air is tremendously standard, some customers want a little bit bit extra. More efficiency, a much bigger battery, extra ports, a bigger display screen…when you want extra, you want a 14- or 16-inch MacEbook Pro. Before you spend all that cash on one thing you hope to maintain and use for years, it’s value asking if this can be a good time to purchase. In the world of computer systems, there’s all the time one thing higher on the best way, but when it’s a lot higher and it’s coming quickly, you would possibly wish to wait. It’s been a few yr for the reason that 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro was first launched and an replace could also be coming quickly. Here’s our purchasing recommendation for the 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro. 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro: Pricing and specs Released: October 2021 The 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro obtained an enormous Apple silicon improve at Apple’s “Unleashed” event. It begins with a brand new processor (the M1 Pro or M1 Max), nevertheless it’s extra than simply pace. It has a brand new show (Liquid Retina XDR), extra ports (three Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SDXC slot), a full-sized row of operate keys, and a brand new design. It replaces the Intel mannequin that was launched in 2019. 14-inch MacEbook Pro (2021) RRP: £1,899 (8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD); £2,399 (10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Read our full 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021)review 16-inch MacEbook Pro (2021) RRP: £2,399 (M1 Pro 10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD); £2,599 (M1 Pro 10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD); £3,299 (M1 Max 10-Core CPU, 32-Core GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) The 14-inch MacEbook Pro begins at $1,999. The 16-inch MacEbook Pro begins at $2,499. There are processor, RAM, and storage choices that may push it over $6,000. 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro: Why you can purchase The MacEbook Pro is an amazing machine that checks off almost each field on a professional person’s wishlist. It’s quick, succesful, and highly effective, and brings Apple’s professional laptop computer into the forefront of the pack. The show is cause sufficient to need one, bringing mini-LED and ProMovement to a Mac for the primary time, with excessive brightness (1,600-nit peak) and glorious coloration accuracy. Apple claims the M1 Pro chip is 70 p.c sooner than the M1, and the M1 Max has a GPU 4 instances extra highly effective than that within the M1. It additionally has extra RAM, a number of instances extra reminiscence bandwidth, and a crazy-fast SSD. There are additionally much more ports. Apple added three Thunderbolt 4 ports to the 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro, in addition to HDMI and an SDXC card slot. There’s an upgraded 1080p FaceTime digital camera as properly, although you’ll must take care of a display screen notch like on the iPhone. But we expect that’s an appropriate trade-off for a lot energy. 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro: Why you can purchase A brand new MacEbook Pro is an enormous funding, however when you want the ability it supplies proper now, get one. Every new Mac is all the time the very best Apple has ever made, however the 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro is a huge leap each over the prior mannequin and within the historical past of the MacEbook Pro, and we expect you’ll be more than happy along with your buy. We do advocate that you simply get as a lot storage and reminiscence as you'll be able to afford.

The 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro begins at 16GB of RAM and goes as much as 32GB with the M1 Pro, and 64GB with the M1 Max chips. The upgrades aren’t low-cost, however they’ll be properly well worth the funding years from now when your machine continues to be working as easily because it was if you purchased it. If you do determine to make the funding proper now, don’t purchase it instantly from Apple. Third-party retailers reminiscent of Amazon and Best Buy are offering the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with steep discounts, as a lot as $400 off the common worth. (The Apple retailer doesn’t promote clearance objects or supply sale costs on present stock.) The catch with procuring at one in all these gross sales is that customization choices are restricted, so for instance, you must accept no matter RAM and SSD configuration is being supplied. But when you’re effective with that, you’ll save loads of money. Why are third-party retailers providing such huge reductions? That leads us to… Macworld recommends: WAIT Several reports have acknowledged that Apple might replace the 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro within the subsequent few weeks. The gross sales at third-party retailers are probably attributable to Apple eager to clear stock to make room for the brand new model. This upcoming replace might be a processor improve to the M2 Pro and Max, the follow-up to the M1 Pro and Max. The efficiency will enhance, however in all probability not as dramatically because the swap from Intel chips to the M1 sequence. Since the 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro’s design is only a yr outdated, Apple received’t change it. It ought to have the identical display screen, ports, keyboard, and trackpad. It’s all in regards to the processor and GPU for this improve. So when you completely need the newest expertise and are prepared to pay full worth, maintain off on shopping for a brand new 14- and 16-inch MacEbook Pro. [ad_2] Source link

Launch System Preferences > Dock to set it up however you like. You can configure the Dock to appear on the bottom, or the left or right edge of the screen. To get rid of something, click and drag it until “Remove” appears, and then release. To pin an item to the Dock, you right-click it (or two-finger click on a trackpad), and then choose Options > Keep in Dock. On the left, you find your applications, and on the right, folders, the Trash, and any minimized windows you have open. There are two areas on the Dock separated by a partition. It’s one of the easiest ways to launch and access your applications. This is the Mac equivalent of the Windows taskbar. You can also right-click with a regular mouse or hold the Control key and click.Īt the bottom of the screen, you find the macOS Dock. Right- or two-finger click: To open the “right-click” context menu, place two fingers on the trackpad and “click” with one.Clicking: The trackpad is one big button, so you can click anywhere.Scrolling: On a trackpad, you scroll with two fingers, like you would on a mobile device.How to Use the Trackpad or Mouseīefore we begin, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with some common actions you’ll use while you make your way around macOS: With that out of the way, you have a desktop in front of you that looks simultaneously familiar and slightly alien. When you first boot up your new Mac, you configure your account username and set up (or sign in with) an Apple ID. While increasing your MacBook’s storage later is sometimes possible, solutions can be expensive and inconvenient. If you’re going to store your main photo library on the machine, along with software like Office or Photoshop, you’ll need that extra space a few years down the line. If you’re buying your primary computer, and you opt for a laptop, avoid the smallest SSD.Īt this writing, you can upgrade the MacBook Air’s tiny 128 GB SSD to 256 GB for $200, or 512 GB for $400. If you’re happy to trade some performance for portability, the MacBook Pro should be on your radar. Appleįor most people, an iMac or MacBook Air are the obvious choices.

At this writing, the iMac Pro starts at $4,999, and the Mac Pro isn’t shipping until late 2019 (price to be announced). They’re stuffed with high-end components, like Intel Xeon server-grade processors, Radeon Pro Vega GPUs, and more RAM than you know what to do with. Generally speaking, if you have to ask, you don’t really need either of these machines. Professional users are left with the iMac Pro and the Mac Pro. You won’t get iMac-like performance, nor are these machines armed with powerful GPUs, but you can beef up the RAM and processor selection at checkout if you want. This is the most affordable computer Apple manufactures, partly due to the somewhat limited hardware. If you already have a monitor and peripherals, you might be interested in the Mac mini (starting at $799 at this writing). You also get expansion ports to add more RAM, a proper array of ports on the back, Apple’s decent keyboard, and its passable mouse. You get a lot more performance for your money if you opt for the larger, desktop type. It’s great value for the money, even when you compare it to building your own computer. It’s available with a built-in 21.5-inch display up to 4K or 27-inch 5K display (at this writing, starting at $1,099 or $1,799, respectively). Consumer Home Computersįor home and office users, the iMac is a great choice. You customize both models at checkout, but you get more options if you opt for the Pro. It’s fatter, heavier, and packs far more punch than its lightweight sibling. It’s a mobile powerhouse available in both 13- and 15-inch models (at this writing, starting at $1,299 and $2,399, respectively). If you need more power on the go, particularly in the graphics department, the MacBook Pro is the next logical choice. It’s ideal for web browsing, typing essays, watching Netflix, and can even handle some light sub-4K video editing. The 13-inch MacBook Air (starting at $1,099, at this writing) is a great all-rounder, with a new Retina (high-DPi) display, energy-efficient performance, and the classic “wedge” shape. For portable use, Apple currently offers two laptops: the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

The 2022 M2 MacBook Air

From Gruber’s review:

Basically, there are millions of people whose computing needs would be more than met by the MacBook Air but who feel like they probably need a slightly thicker laptop with a fan on the inside and the word “Pro” stamped on the outside because their current ostensibly pro-level laptop — which may well be a MacBook Pro from Apple with Intel inside — struggles under the load of their daily work. It runs hot, the fans scream, and the battery doesn’t last long enough. Switching to this new thinner fan-less MacBook Air from a thicker MacBook Pro that makes frequent, clearly audible, use of its fan sounds like a downgrade. But for the overwhelming majority of Intel-based MacBook Pro users, it’s not. Switching to the new M2 MacBook Air would be the biggest upgrade in their computing lives.

I feel seen. :)

I have a 16" 2019 Intel MBP that’s fairly loaded up that I do my work on, and use a family M1 Mac Mini for processing audio through filters. It’s fine. But the fans on my MBP spin up pretty quickly for a lot of tasks, especially when I need to edit a Learn with Jason episode in Final Cut Pro.

I’ve been thinking that my future Mac work set up lies in getting a Mac Studio at my home office, and a M2 MacBook Air for keeping up with any work the 3 - 5 weeks of the year when I’m not at home because we’re on holidays, or if I want to go work at a coffee shop for a morning.

My personal MacBook Pro is space gray, maxed out (no pun intended) with a 4 TB SSD and 64 GB RAM. In my daily use, this $1,900 MacBook Air feels identical to my $4,700 MacBook Pro.

The M2 MacBook Air with the same 16GB RAM and 1TB storage upgrades runs $2,399+tax in Canadian dollars. Next up, configuring the Mac Studio. 😍

Mac Ventura Support

Macworld: “There will no doubt be a few Mac users who are disappointed by that list. Many of the Macs that are not supported by Ventura were still being sold by Apple until quite recently. The 2014 Mac mini was sold until 2018, the ‘trash can’ Mac Pro until 2019, and the 2017 MacBook Air was sold until July 2019. We had thought that Apple wouldn’t remove those Macs from the supported list, since people might have purchased the model such a short time ago.”

No doubt indeed.

When I went to install macOS Monterey on my 2015 MacBook Pro, it failed. Turns out when I bought my used MacBook I didn’t know the original SSD had been upgraded. Apparently some sort of hardware check is performed and if the hardware isn’t all Apple original the OS wouldn’t install. That’s fine, time marches on.

I figured this year my 2015 MacBook Pro would fall off the list of supported hardware, and it has.

I was surprised to see how aggressive Apple is being about supporting older hardware.

This time around the 2015 and 2016 models were dropped.

We’re now left with 2017, 2018, and 2019 Intel based Macs. See where I’m going?

At this deprecation rate we may only have two years of Intel based support on new OS versions.

Ouch. 🤕

Ssd For Mac Pro Retina

2010 Mac Pro Ssd

Ssd For Macbook Pro Retina 2015

I have a 15' Macbook Pro that is no longer under warranty. Back in October 2016, the original SSD hard drive failed. I bought another SSD to replace it and used time machine to restore my files without a problem. My drive failed again a week ago after displaying unusually behavior for several weeks, like crashing with few programs loaded or while browsing the internet. Then, one boot up, I saw the folder with the question mark. I could not even wipe the new drive in recovery mode with the disk utility because it would not show up. The only think I see is 'disk0' and under that, Mac OS X Base System which I know is not my new SSD given the size. It does not show up no matter what I do. I checked that the cable and SSD were in correctly etc.

Upgrade your 2012 - 2013 MacBook Pro Retina Display with an SSD for a total system performance and capacity boost. SSD kit includes all the tools you need. Apple MacBook Pro 15.4' Retina True Tone Laptop (Touch Bar, 9th Gen 8-Core Intel Core i9 2.30GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro 560X 4GB) Space Gray - A1990 (2019) Resolution: 2880 x 1800 Chipset: Intel Mobile Core i9.

OWC has also offered PCIe SSD upgrades for MacBook Pro Retina laptops from 2012 through early 2013. If you purchased a MacBook Pro Retina, you already shelled out at least $1,300 for the 13-in. Upgrade the PCIe-based flash SSD in your (Late 2013 - Mid 2015) MacBook Pro with Retina display with up to eight times the original capacity. Available in 24. Use this guide to upgrade or replace the solid-state drive in a MacBook Pro 15” Mid 2014. This MacBook Pro uses a proprietary storage drive connector, and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter. Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD.Then, either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable.

Believing that the drive was faulty I bought ANOTHER ssd and installed it. Again I cannot get disk utility to recognize it so I can format and restore. I then bought the cable that attaches the SSD to the logic board thinking perhaps that was the problem, but still my SSD is not recognized.

What do I do to get my Mac to see the new SSD I have installed? I did not have this issue when I installed the first replacement. Would I even be able to get into the disk utility and recovery mode if this were an issue with the logic board or have I neglected something totally obvious here?

2010 Mac Pro Ssd

Thanks in advance for any advice!
