Troubleshooting
Track down a number of hardware problems using the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Troubleshooting Guide.
Upgrades
There are a number of components in the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody that can be cost effectively upgraded.
- Memory: The MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010 comes with 4 GB RAM standard, and accepts a maximum of 8 GB. If your MacBook Pro is still running with only the stock RAM, upgrading will provide a dramatic performance boost. You can upgrade to two 4 GB chips for a total of 8 GB very easily.
- Hard Drive: 250, 320 or 500 GB hard drives (or 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB SSDs) came standard with the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody. You can easily upgrade the drive to 750 GB.
- Battery: The battery is certainly replaceable, even though Apple doesn't consider it to be "user serviceable." Unscrew twelve screws, unplug the battery connector, and the battery can be removed!
Identification and Background
The MacBook Pro 13" Unibody is clearly differentiated from other MacBook Pros by its smaller size. However, it does resemble its larger siblings, the MacBook Pro 15" Unibody and the MacBook Pro 17" Unibody.
Use the laptop identification system to help you identify your machine. MacBook Pros tend to look very similar, and it's important to know which machine you have before ordering any replacement parts.
