Speed Up Your Mac: How to Inexpensively Turbocharge Your Macbook Pro

Don't replace your 2006-2011 Macbook Pro! Instead, speed it up by a factor of 10x, 100x, or more!

You've loved and used your Macbook Pro for years—but now it's getting old. It seems to take forever to start or open files, and as you browse the web or do your everyday work, the dreaded beachball appears regularly. Things are getting bogged down.

Most of the time, when Macs get slow, it's the fault of components that you can upgrade yourself, sometimes with amazing results! With a few minor changes that cost a fraction of a what a new Mac costs, you may be able to increase the speed and capacity of your current Mac exponentially, without wasting time on the worthless "tricks" you'll find in online forums—things like deleting files, doing reinstalls, or fixing permissions—that just plain don't work.

This short book gives you concrete, step-by-step details on real upgrades to your Mac's actual components, showing you how to:

- Identify your particular Mac and its capabilities and potential
- Know which power-enhancing upgrades are compatible with it, and where to to buy them
- Get ahold of the tools needed to install them
- Know how much you should expect to pay
- Install these upgrades yourself, without paying a specialist or spending thousands

It's time to max out your Mac's memory, upgrade to a solid-state drive (SSD), install a second hard drive to get terabytes of storage space, or replace that flagging battery that's keeping you tethered to the wall. These are things that the Apple Store and many Mac repair shops simply won't do—but that are one hundred percent compatible with your Mac using common industry components, and that will breathe new life into aging machines.

Unleash the hidden potential of your current 2006 through 2011 Macbook Pro—and avoid spending thousands on a new machine for a few more years!
