I'm going to subscribe mobile broadband in Singapore. The customer representative of telco doesn't allow me to test the dongle on my computer. All my external storage are USB 3.0.

Does MBPRD support USB 2.0? Anyone here use dongle on MBPRD?

What screwdriver do I get to open up mbp 2012?
Where do I get it? need to upgrade RAM

I would like to know type of screwdriver too. I failed to unscrew it when I just got my MBPRD because the bolts are too tiny compared to previous generation mbp. I want to see how great Apple engineers are. The mainboard + flash drive + battery architecture is so great. Although I'm a Thinkpad fans, I have to admit that Apple is the only computer manufacturer producing high quality computer.

Hi guys, I am going to order a BTO 15" MBP mid 2012 model.

I lack of some experience in upgrading RAM and SSD. Kindly give advice and opinion in my thread. Thank you.

Me too. The problem happened after it was upgraded to ML

It takes a few seconds from sleep. The screen shows black colour with a cursor.
