I am running Mint on a MacBook Air from 2008

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I replaced the battery and RAM on a Macbook Pro 8,1 running Pop_OS recently and the damn thing didn't even work better. The battery still only lasted around an hour or two on medium brightness and YouTube @ 720p. Absolutely garbage, and it really made me feel like a fool for spending the extra money on that damn thing.

Does it still run with a HD? Upgrading to SSD really accelerated mine.

I had also replaced the HDD with an SSD. :(
