Comment Re:Installing Linux also an option (Score 1) 125

We had a 2011 MBP and had to have the motherboard replaced 7 times before Apple finally wanted to charge us $1200 for the 8th replacement. We sent it to a 3rd party to get "reballed", but that only worked for so long. We sued Apple in a class action with loads of other 2011 MBP owners and won. That's how we got the 2015 MBP.

Yes, because it is a fair amount faster than the top-of-the-line Apple silicon - I did NOT say it was lower power, because it isn't , but the CPU is faster than what Apple offers even if it consumes more power. And I was able to CHEAPLY upgrade the RAM and add a 2nd internal nvme drive for far,far, FAR less money than Apple charge you.

>OpenCore Legacy Patcher

My geek card is doing just fine. I already know about OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I took one look at that and NOPED out of there. Sorry, I'm just not into the hacky shit that has to be done to get a perfectly good MBP to run the latest OS. I don't have the time for it.

Doesn't matter, Windows 10 still runs the latest and greatest version of Photoshop. Too bad Macs don't unless you have the latest and greatest mac.

Doesn't matter because the older Windows OS doesn't prevent you from installing the latest software applications like Apple is doing. We literally had to buy a Dell because Apple won't allow us to update our MBP to the latest OS, and the latest Photoshop required the latest MacOS to run. And Signal and a lot of other applications we need to use. So FU Apple, even though we own Apple stock you turned us into Windows users.
