Re: Found a 17 inch Macbook Pro - Diana - 12-17-2024
I have one, but it exhibited the Nvidia graphics issue and thus has been sidelined. I loved the graphics it put out, and the screen size quickly became even more loved. Replacing the battery, if I remember correctly, wasn’t that difficult. It will take a maximum of 16GB RAM and putting an SSD in it made it feel like a new machine.
I still miss it, even though it was a heavy beast to carry.
Edit: spelling error

he used the wrong measuring tape, the one that shows objects 2" longer than they really are.

Hoping that’s what she’d say!

it's probably so big that it looked like a 17 - I recently set up an m1 mba for a friend and at one point I put it on top of my 2015 11" mba - they are almost exactly the same size - the 13 is only slightly bigger

Yeah but who care if it’s 15 or 17… does it really matter?
