you're saying nothing about the issue you're having dummy |
|
|
Depends on the issue or problem(s) you have with it.
|
|
|
|
I believe you can replace the logic board in case of graphics, firmware etc
If it is a case of RAM, SSD, HDD etc, just replace em

You do realize macbooks are very difficult to open compared to windows right? |

windows is an os |
|

Yeah I do, I just refer to computers by OS. My mistake. What I'm saying is that Macs are pretty hard to open up. |

@pokemon
I just opened mine yesterday for the lulz
You need those tiny screw drivers...
|
|
|
Im not saying it's impossible I'm saying PC's are much easier. |
|
|
That's true..
You can easily replace any part in a PC
|
|
|
Yeah exactly, the HDD in a MAc, you have to buy or pirate the OS. |
|
|
Well I mean same for WIndows, just seems easier to replace to me. |

1. Most Macs have SSDs
2. If you boot into a Mac, then you can download OS X from there |
|
|
Yeah, I've never really taken a look at macs. I mean, Heart, you have to agree, Macs are pricey compared to their components. |

I actually wouldn't agree, considering the R&D and the support you get for the products
If I wanted to be cheap I'd build a desktop but the fact is I need a powerful portable computer |

No, I mean like the actual parts that go into a Mac don't cost that much. I mean you can custom build a laptop and put Linux on it. |

Macbook Pros honestly s***
Their crappy firmware allows only EFI boot mode, atleast a few OSes like Windows, Ubuntu etc work well with them.
You can't replace their graphics card or processor, really?

A custom laptop
don't make me laugh lol

Except they don't lock you into EFI boot. I've installed Arch Linux several times on my MacBook Pro and completely modified the Bootloader |

It's doable, just will take a lot more effort than it's worth. |
