Unfortunately sometime around 2018 (I think) the laptop started to crash/freeze randomly: It seemed to be a GPU heat-related issue because it would crash when I ran something GPU intensive, such as AutoCAD Fusion.
In 2016, I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro Retina 15″ and was very hesitant to sell this old workhorse away, so I kept it as a spare which I used occasionally at home or when travelling. 4th gen (2016) MacBook Pros had only USB-C ports, an unreliable keyboard with the butterfly mechanism, and a bunch of other issues such as thermal throttling.
3rd gen (2013) “Retina” models had memory soldered on the board and had massive Staingate issues. Till today, the screen, keyboard and touchpad on my 2010 MacBook Pro 15″ still beats most Windows laptops on the market – bear in mind this laptop is now 10 years old and has traveled the world with me.Īfter the 2010, MacBook Pros started going downhill: Late 2nd gen (2011) MacBook Pros were riddled with AMD GPU problems. The battery was also a replaceable component and not glued to the case.
These aluminium unibody MacBooks were the first to have built-in batteries which gave it a much larger battery with incredible battery life, but still had user-replaceable SATA drives and RAM. The second generation 2010 MacBook Pro 15″ (MacBookPro6,2) with the Intel Core i5/i7 is arguably one of the best MacBook Pros Apple ever made, bar a few issues.
