The se30 is black/white. Not even greyscale for photo work.

Is there a site that's the equivalent of Swappa for Mac hardware? I'm looking to sell a 2015 MBP with as little hassle as possible.

I seem to recall that there is an incredibly rare video card for the SE/30 that worked with the internal monitor somehow.

That said, you could much more easily use an external monitor instead.

That MacBook looks fuckin ugly and I don't "get" the led bar.

If they made a MBP that was just 2015 hardware but user upgradable like a 2009 I'd buy four.

Problem is Apple is going the opposite direction. No user serviceable parts. No upgrades. What you buy is what you get until the next purchase.

Thought perhaps this might be a good place to ask this, even though it is rather more software than hardware.

Vintage mac time. When I started out in commercial printing, we had a compact mac (probably a SE or SE/30) that was used for typesetting and the occasional game of Dark Castle. In a fit of nostalgia I dug out one I had been given to me by a client ages ago. It turned out to be a Performa 200. For some dumb reason that was not nostalgic enough for me, so I bought a SE/30 off of ebay and am soon to remove the MB and have it recapped.

I have already began dumping money into it's semi-dead state:

If I stop and think on it too much, it occurs to me that all in all it is a bit of overkill. So I am asking this somewhat to offset that line of thinking:
What software from back then would be the most hardware intensive, to put this through it's paces?

I had thought CAD, which would be neat as I do some modern-day 2D CAD at my job.

I hope Apple stops making bad computers and makes super good ones.

More rumor bullshit:

Apple still plans to announce its new MacBook Pro "in the month" with shipments to begin at the end of October, according to new information shared by Japanese site Mac Otakara.

Citing a "reliable Chinese supplier," the site says that Apple will launch both 13 and 15-inch models, continuing to offer the machine in the same sizes available today. Apple is also expected to launch a new 13-inch MacBook Air, but will not debut a new 11-inch MacBook Air machine.

Both the new MacBook Pro models, which will replace existing models, and the new 13-inch MacBook Air are said to include USB-C ports and Thunderbolt 3 support.

Previous rumors and part leaks have suggested the upcoming MacBook Pro will include[ four USB-C ports, doing away with an SD card slot, an HDMI port, USB-A ports, and a MagSafe connection.

The hinges on my mid-2012 MBP broke.



I can't seem to find any replacement hinges on Amazon, and it's beginning to fail in other ways too, so I'm wondering if it isn't just time to lay this baby to rest and upgrade. Is there any sort of resource I can turn to for smaller parts like these? Failing that, it's refurb time, I guess.

(It's always the hinges. Every laptop I've owned has died because of the hinges...)

I'm seriously curious - what are the folks who maintain that the current Macs suck looking for in the new ones? Or is this a "I don't know what I want but I know it's not THAT" kind of thing?
