Owners of new iPhone or Mac laptop products purchased after December 31, 2020 in France, may obtain service and parts from Apple or Apple service providers for 7 years from the date the product model was last supplied by Apple for distribution into France.
Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, with the sole exception of Mac laptops that are eligible for an additional battery-only repair period. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products.
Both 2011 versions of the MacBook Pro have the same battery setup. They have fully integrated 63.5W per hour, lithium-polymer batteries. The recharge port has MagSafe technology. Apple manufactured this type of magnetically attached power port for easy cord and device fastening. This laptop has a battery life of approximately seven hours with moderate use.
Depending on which model you upgrade to, your new MacBook can have just about any variety of memory capacity. If you intend to store large amounts of content or data, for example, videos or pictures, you will want to select something with as large a memory as possible. A MacBook Pros solid state hard drive can be purchased in 2TB, 1TB, 750GB, 512GB, 500GB, 320GB, 256GB, and 250GB. The 2TB option is the largest and 250GB is the smallest capacity option. The drive lines the right side of the laptop.
Because Apple constantly produces nuanced operating systems, these laptops can be found with a large variety of processors. How you intend to use your laptop should, in part, determine which Intel processor you should get. Whether the processor is an i5 or i7, as well as which model year the processor is, determines the speed of the operating system and other tasks. The Apple device will run with varying GHz sizes, too. There has been a long history of software released by Apple for the MBP. If you plan to replace an older MBP, you will recognize that these versions include:
The 13" MacBook Pro (Unibody, Early 2011) - MC700LL/A was released in 2011 and features a 2.3 GHz Core i5 processor and 13" display. Graphics processing is handled by an integrated HD Graphics 3000 graphics card with 384MB of VRAM.
The Apple MacBook is Apple's model of laptop computer that uses its well known Mac operating system. The Apple MacBook Pro released in 2011 is a higher spec version of the standard MacBook laptop , the Pro being short for Professional, and is aimed at users who may require a higher level of functionality. For example, graphic designers, video editors or people who simply wish to have a more powerful laptop.
On board memory storage capacity for the 2011 MacBook Pro ranges from 320Gb to 1Tb. Larger storage capacity allows you to have more programs and files stored on your portable computer, so this will be suitable if you have a lot of data you wish to keep with you on your laptop.
MacBook laptops come with a range of different RAM memory sizes, from 4Gb up to 16Gb and more. The more RAM memory you have on the device, the more programs you can have open at once and the more powerful the machine will be in general.
It's a crucial security measure you don't want to skip. Your Mac's hard drive is bursting with sensitive information that you wouldn't want to be accessible, even if you trust your laptop's next owner. There's always a chance that some malware could snake its way in and uncover your personal details.
We regularly test the most promising laptops, from sleek ultrabooks to cheap Chromebooks to massive gaming laptops and beyond. Here are the best models you can buy in every category, along with advice on how to choose which type of laptop is right for you.
Where they fall short: Great ultrabooks can cost more than many people want to spend on a laptop, even if these models provide a better experience and last longer than cheaper alternatives. Ultrabooks also lack the processing power to play high-end games or handle demanding tasks such as professional video editing or 3D modeling. If you need a cheaper laptop or a more powerful one, check out our other picks below.
We recommend adding another 8 GB of memory to the base-model Framework Laptop. If you want the full experience of putting your laptop together, you can choose from a wider variety of parts by purchasing the DIY Edition instead.
Where they fall short: Laptops with color-accurate screens and enough power for creative professionals are expensive, and even more so with add-ons like extra storage and memory. Editing laptops also tend to be larger and heavier than ultrabooks, with most weighing more than 4 pounds. The powerful processors in editing laptops generate lots of heat, as well, so some can get too hot to use comfortably on your lap, though our top pick stayed cool even under the heaviest workloads. In addition, the MacBook Pro is impossible to service on your own, but Apple provides excellent support.
Why we like this one: Made with visual professionals in mind, the Dell XPS 15 9520 is a well-built laptop that offers a beautiful OLED display and serious computing power. It also has a comfortable keyboard and a notably large trackpad, both of which make working on the laptop more enjoyable and less cramped. Its port selection is fairly simple, consisting of two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, a non-Thunderbolt USB-C port, an SD card reader, and a headphone jack.

Another place to look is BackMarket (see BackMarket US and BackMarket UK) where you can select the model you are hoping to selling and see what they are selling for: those same 16in MacBook Pro from 2019 were on sale for $1,068.93/1,199.98 for the 2.6GHz i7 model and $1,149/1,400 for the 2.3GHz i9 model. Just like Apple, BackMarket offers a 12 month warranty.
We wrote in some detail about eBay above. It may be the case that a private sale via one of these services will get you more money, but in our experience there is a considerable amount of hassle selling this way.
I am currently shopping for MacBooks... My twins are in the Junior year of college and it's time to replace their Asus Chromebooks (2011) and MacBooks from like 2003... So...which model? Which 'year' of construction? What is the ideal trade off for refurbished Mac performance at 'gotta buy two' pricing?
Unfortunately, my correspondent didn't detail why he wanted to move from Chromebooks to MacBooks. His 2011 Chromebooks are a bit long in the tooth, but there are some quite fine 2022 Chromebooks to be had quite inexpensively.
My correspondent also didn't specify why, specifically, he was interested in MacBooks rather than Windows laptops. It could be his kids prefer MacOS, or it could be that they want some features or applications unique to Mac laptops. Since graphics and video production are some of the Mac's strengths (and Chromebook's weaknesses), I'm going to assume that the kids need some video and graphic capability -- and machines that can handle that load.
For example, I own one 2011 machine, which I couldn't upgrade when Mojave came out last year. I have three more 2012 machines, which I can upgrade now but will hit OS obsolescence in later this year when MacOS 11 Big Sur is released. There are hacky ways to bypass Apple's OS limitation, but they're still hacks.
Remember, safety first. You may try to keep socially distant, but a face-to-face sale is almost always going to reach a point where you have to move inside the 6-foot social distance barrier. Make sure you and your seller are fully protected.
On Craigslist in my area, I found three Mac laptops for sale. They included an "iPad mini and MacBook Pro" for $700 with no indication of either model year or configuration, a model listed as 2013 MacBook Pro (also with no configuration information) for $400, and a 2011 MacBook Air with an i7 processor, 256GB SSD, but only 4GB RAM for $247.
The 2012 machine I found on Facebook was also intriguing. If you're willing to spend the time testing and upgrading something old, it's possible to save a lot and still get a good machine. Back in those days (before the butterfly keyboard), Apple generally made laptops that lasted as long as a tank.
Designed and distributed by Apple Inc., the Apple MacBook Pro 2011 was part of the MacBook Pro second generation release. This was the first time Intel's Thunderbolt technology was included in the MacBook Pro range. Thanks to the extensive range of MacBook Pro 2011 devices available here on eBay, and the freedom of online shopping, you don't need to leave home to find the MacBook Pro with all the features you need, and then some.
The MacBook Pro 2011 casing is a single piece of aluminium, known as the unibody. Coming in 13, 15, and 17 inch screen sizes with a high gloss finish, the processor is typically either an Intel Core i5 or i7. The Thunderbolt technology allows the computer to connect to a range of external peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and so on. The entire mouse trackpad is clickable as a single button. The standard keyboard is sunken and LED backlit. 2ff7e9595c
