The late 2013 macbook pro 15 inch has many parts that can be swapped out, repaired and upgraded. This video will walkthrough fixing a trackpad, speaker and the retina lcd screen and upgrading the SSD. Additionally I will go over the pricing and why this Macbook as well as the 2014 Macbook pro 15 are some of my favorites!
I just picked a late 2013, 16 gb, 500gb, iris pro for $150!!! It just needs a new battery and has a little dent where the right USB port is
Bought mine brand new with the dedicated GT 750m 16gb 512gb ssd and I have yet to find a reason to upgrade other than the new M1 Mac has significantly better battery life.
Hi thewre, I own a late 2013 macbook pro 15" retina display and I have purchased it recently but I have one problem. There is a hardware I used to use with my older 2011 macbook pro and the hardware only has firewire ports and the late 2013 macbook pro doesn't have firewire ports. It just has usb amd thunderbolt ports. How can I get my firewire hardware to work with my late 2013 macbook pro?
Hope you still reading this comments :" I have this mbp and I was thinking to upgrade it at maximum because nowadays I am using windows and I recently bought an Ipad pro n an Iphone. Obviously a mbp would be amazing due to the ecosystem. However, I study mechatronics engineering and heavy programs like Inventor, solidworks, jupyter (machine learning and that stuff) are used in my career. On the other hand, I really wish the mbp with apple silicon; but for the things I need, probably the 16" mpb would be released even on finals of next year.
With all being set, should I upgrade to the maximum the mbp i have or should I just wait? seeing also in the economic way.
Would be really grateful if u help me with this existencial problem that i have. Im from Peru so sorry if I commit a lot of mistakes.
Hi Jim! I am still using my 2014 macbook pro daily, I am personally waiting for the "Apple Silicon" mac, and I would suggest everyone wait for that one as well. It will be the next evolution in Apple for sure. Until then, the 2013 / 2014 has plenty of positive features, isn't that underpowered and also has all the ports you would ever need!
Hi a little bit late for the party, question about the SSD is it mSata SSD or NVME SSD? Since they have similiar key type (if you're not counting the pins) and both using the m.2 format. If it's NVME SSD then macbook pro 2012 would be indeed before its time. Sincerely a new subscriber.
The 2012 uses regular sata ssd disks. The 2013 (with iris pro) uses nvme with the custom connector (which is why the adapter is needed). And yup - way ahead of its time!
And one other clarification. Some 2012 and 2013 are older or newer models - so always double check your specific model as well.
You can't upgrade ram on your late 13?
You can’t upgrade ram on any MacBooks after the mid 2012 13”
How about the 2015 macbook pro 15 inch? Is there a reason that you didn't mention it? :)
Yup, the big factor is the price for what you get. The 2015 macbook pro 15 doesn't really add anything... the dedicated GPU is marginally better if you go that route, but the cost on the used market is sometimes upwards of double, for maybe 10% more performance overall vs the 2014 with the 750m.
@@messing-with-computers Yeah, indeed. :) I do like the force touch trackpad though.
Hi there, I didnt get what you said about the graphics, I´m about to get the late 2013 2,0ghz I7 I this with integrated graphics, I came from a mid 2012, just needed to get online class and programming sometimes. is good still for a couple of years?
Yeah, you should be good for a few years! I love my 2013 Macbook Pro, sounds like it is the same model you are getting.
@@messing-with-computers 2.0 ghz I7, 8gb ram 1600mhz and 256gb store. sounds good.
Get it with the DG, the IG is not fixable if it fails. ( czcams.com/video/xFIVZYevfGU/video.html )
C B - I agree, except the integrated graphics essentially never fail.
curtis how do you feel about the late 2013 with the gt750m?
I love the 750m, just avoid the 650m like the plague.
@@messing-with-computers Thanks Curtis, I snagged a 1tb 16gb 2.3ghz i7 late 2013 doe $500 on ebay...have a great night!
