I just installed it today on my 2011 17” MBP and so far, so good. I’ve got to change the WiFi/BT card to enable handoff, which I’m excited about. I do a lot of conference calls, so that’ll be a nice feature, if it works like they say.
I just picked up a 27” Thunderbolt Display and that I really like! Beautiful screen, plus an HD iSight camera and extra USB ports., plus a MagSafe power port for the MBP.
I’m also replacing the 750GB 5400 RPM HDD with a 500GB SSD, so the laptop should really scream. The 17” MBP is really more of a portable desktop. It’s getting a USB 3.0 ExpressCard/34, too, for an external drive. I’ll probably use it more than my 3.06 GHZ 12 core MacPro5,1 which is getting a new WiFi/BT card, too, as well as a 4 x 256gb SSD RAID drive for the system drive, plus four 3TB HDD’s for data, and 4 each SATA/3 and USB 3.0 ports.
That’s one nice thing about the Apple hardware, is that it doesn’t take complete replacement to refresh the performance like the Windoze system
do.
I’m envious. I was just looking at a 27” Thunderbolt the other day. It’s off the charts.
How do I add a calendar to my drop down Notification Center? I tried poking the box, but short of doing this the right way, I thought I’d skirt that and minor detail and ask the pros.
I bought SoftRaid Pro the other day and did a raid five of my 4 3T drives works great but pricy for sure at $175.00.
