In 2012 Apple made a fundamental shift in the MacBook Pro line, introducing for the first time the Retina MacBook Pro series. Both 15 and 13-inch models sported dramatically higher resolution displays and a slimmer design that eschewed both a Superdrive and a spinning hard drives, instead providing a Solid State Drive (SSD) for internal storage. Over time data sets multiply, applications bloat, and the goalposts change. If you’re a do it yourselfer and you have the time and patience, it’s possible to upgrade the SSD on these models, provided you have the right tools, the right space to work, and whatever amount of time you need. |
