I'm using a 2007 Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo. Upgraded to 6GB RAM.
Still using the original hard drive!
I do have a few external drives for backing up and storage of files, of course. But the internal drive has held up for 7 years! At one point I put a hybrid drive in it, but it started on fire. I had to replace a cable that burned, then I just put the old drive back in. No problems at all.
I've been using this computer every day since it was new and I run CS5 (mostly PS/AI/ID/DW), Lightroom 4 and occasionally FCP7. Since installing mavericks, it's quite slow for boot up and shut down, but while I'm working it is fine.
Going to pick up an SSD today or tomorrow and I'm hoping that gets me back up to fast speeds.
- Those are capable of running Mavericks but tend to just die when least expected.raf
- I had the experience RAF described. My 2007 MBP just powered down one day like I had shut it down. The motherboard failed and it was too expensive to repair ($1100)Josev
