Understanding what's inside my computer is empowering, and oddly enough, now I feel even more prepared for the future. After all, we pirates don't get paid when our ship is stuck in space dock. Maybe I could learn to work in coffee shops or on a couch, but this system helps me focus and keeps my wrists in decent condition. And I keep my monitors in circulation for a long time, so the difference in pixel densities would be more of a distraction than anything else.Īm I clinging to a hokey religion that's no match for a good blaster at my side? I dunno.
#Add memory to macbook pro retina mid 2015 mac#
(Yep, I use the number pad!) I treat my laptops like Mac Minis that can move between a few different desks depending what I'm working on. Most of my work is done at a desk with a big monitor, full-size keyboard and an ambidextrous ergonomic mouse / Magic Trackpad combo. High-density displays are extremely useful on a phone and certainly the future of computing, but they aren't mission-critical for me. You're probably thinking, "don't you miss all those gorgeous Retina pixels?" Honestly, no. But were I to go with a machine from Apple's Retina laptop line, I'd have to pony up more than $2000! Instead, I yanked 16 gigs out of an old Mini and this baby was ready to rock - no premium charge necessary. I put my computer through a lot of RAM-intensive work during the day, and like to have as much available as possible. Bonus: Now I have a spare 2.5-inch hard drive for backups, and I'm booting off a drive I can remove myself in an emergency.Īnother bonus: I can add extra RAM to this MacBook Pro. I picked up a cheap SSD off Amazon, and replaced the drive myself. But for what I need, this little MacBook Pro is more than enough: For one, it's repairable.
