None of the above-mentioned machines can be described as downright revolutionary. As MacBooky Air, So i MacBook Pro they were "just" hardware-upgraded successors of their previous generations. However, they were still very popular in the world, which is also proven by the current bazaar offers of older Macs, in which these years are represented in a relatively large number. Given their production date, these are also machines that were equipped with all the popular USB-A ports and the like, in the case of the model Pro This model also boasted the popular Retina display. That is perhaps why interest in these machines among users who do not want completely new products is still very, very high.
Well, I'm 13″ MacBook Air mid 2011 and already in 2012 his SSD went bad, replaced under warranty and started using it here Time Machine :-D
In 2016, I poured beer on it, they cleaned it at an authorized service center for NOK 2000. They said it was fully functional. After a month I found that the fan never turns on. I went to an authorized service center in another city (I was studying) and they told me 780,- for diagnostics, if it's the fan, it costs 50$ plus replacement, it will cost you 2500,- :-o. OK, I left it alone, but after a while I read that it is good to remove the heat to increase the service life :-D So I bought a stove for 150,- and got in there. Authorized service forgot to connect the fan cable to the motherboard, fixed -_-
Since then I've been doing everything myself. In 2018 I replaced the battery for 2100,- and sold the old one for 200,-. In 2019 I replaced the keyboard and re-calibrated the processor, 1100,-. This year I replaced the right speaker, it was squeaking because I damaged its connection.onewhich last year cost 140 crowns :-D
This week I replaced the 27TB HDD in my 2012″ iMac late 1 with a 1TB SSD, added a second 256GB SSD to the SSD slot for fusion drive, i5 processor for i7 and increased RAM from 24 to 32GB and I also replaced the CMOS battery and repaired the stand with the little screw that had gone bad and that's why I got into it... Of course, an adapter from 3,5″ to 2,5″ SSD, thermal paste, an adapter from that Apple special shit toonewhich to mSATA for Fusion SSD, USB-SATA cable for disk cloning and adhesive set for display.
The parts (from the bazaar) cost me 7000,- I have only sold the cable for 100,- but Ionec I should get under 5000,- for this mega acceleration. How would it be in an authorized service? So 5000,- for work, a week without a computer, they would forget to connect the wifi antenna and they would leave a kilo of dust there because the user will definitely not notice that...
MBP 2011 with new SSD and RAM - while it lastschat, so let them shove these unseparable, unrepairable, irreplaceable novelties up their asses
Indeed, even iFixit when disassembling the 16″ MacBooku Pro He claimed that there was room for removable RAM and that there would be room for cooling. The only explanation is that he is trying to artificially reduce the lifespan...

I praise your creativity. I can't do something like that, so hat.
I just have a question. Just curious:
Where can I sell a used notebook battery? Does anyone actually buy this?
I have one swollen, I'm donating "for its removal" from Macbooku Air:D, because I can't find a screwdriver anywhere in Liberec, at least to borrow.
ProI put it on Sbazar, I wrote that it had 31% of its original capacity and that the computer would last about 2 hours of reading a PDF, an hour of film or surfing, that the frame was cracked (the plastic is terribly fragile) and two months later someone bought it with the tools to replace it, the tools were for a new battery. Two days later I saw the battery for 200 from that person too :-D. I expected someone who was broke and didn't want to pay 2000 for a new one to buy it because maybe they wanted to sell the computer soon or they only had the battery for running to the printer... Or they were just an environmentalist. But it looks like someone was looking for tools.
And do you happen to have a left speaker left? :) I'm looking for an 11" for the MBA 2011, I used an app to boost the sound.
Of course not :-D look on ebay and click on item location: euroNo taxes or duties are paid.
