Your Macbook needs to be cleaning inside especially your fan. Macbook greatest enemy is DUST. Send your Macbook to your nearest service centre and have it clean or you can DIY yourself.

Just to share. I recently inherited a 13" MBP late 2011. Decided to change out the HDD to a SSD. Bought a Samsung Evo 850 250gb. The laptop works pretty good with no issues. Like brand new. Would highly recommend Sansung Evo 850..

When its spinning at a high speed, open your Activity Monitor (under Utilities) and see which program % CPU is very high. Upgrading to SSD will speed up the processing and loading tough. Try cleaning the fan and see if its help, if the fan is faulty just get it replace. Its a lot cheaper to replace a faulty fan than get a over heat board (chip) repair/replace.

Kindly advise where you got the SSD, how much and where did you get it replaced? And how much did it cost you to reinstall the OSX? TQ.

You can buy at any shop that selling pc hardware, price is around RM500++.

Installation guide you can find at iFixit - https://www.ifixit.com/

OS installation - if have cd, load back the os.

Thanks for your input.

Since you are in this line, how much do you charge for doing it? TQ.

Hi all,

MY MBP has been acting weird lately. It'll automatically turn off after unplugging the magsafe even though it's fully charged. According to Coconut Battery, I still have 74% of battery capacity. Can anyone help me on this?

Since you cant get Windows out of your head and you like gaming so much I strongly suggest gaming laptop like illegear or Alienware. Or you can build yourself a powerful Hackintoch IMHO

Has anyone tried to upgrade their SSD/Flash Memory on their Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch Late 2013 model?

If yes, which model of SSD/Flash Memory you are using and how does it performs? Looking to upgrade it to 512GB since it is on 256GB.

Take note: All 21.5" iMac version (slim) has no access doors for RAM upgrading. You have to remove the LCD panel in order to access your RAM slots. Oh yeah, the 21.5" has only 2 RAM slots.

thanks bro for the answer... it sound trouble to upgrade the ram on 21.5"...

Yes and it uses tape to stick, not screw, many work involve. Usually at least half day needed just to change those ram.

Installation charges nearly as the ram price.

I am looking something from OWC. Not too sure if there are local ones which are as fast.

Looking for guides on maintaining macbooks battery since it is unremovable.
So you guys use your macs plugged with charger all the time or unplugged it when it is full?
And yeah,how much does it usually cost to change mba battery>?

Hi guys,

Is there really SSD upgrade for MacBook Air 13" (Early 2014) build?

I heard that there's no market here selling PCIe-based flash storage SSD...

I wanna upgrade the storage from 128gigs to 256 gigs...

Any suggestions?

yes, you're right about PCIe-based flash storage not available from 3rd party manufacturers
