I have one of the last MBP from that era that still has replaceable memory, hard drive and optical drive. My machine is maxed out on memory, SSD and swapped the optical for a backup HDD.<p>I love the thing and had the fried graphics card issue fixed some time ago instead of opting to replace the MBP with a newer model.<p>This old thing is struggling to keep up with El Capitan these days though and I&#x27;m now mulling a Thinkpad with OpenBSD as a replacement. I kind of wish I could get this same body with updated hardware and OSX 10.6 but that&#x27;s not in the cards.
