The bottom center area registered 84 degrees, the touchpad 78 and the area between the G and H keys 91 degrees. At least the touchpad stayed a cool 80 degrees.įortunately, this laptop remained fairly chilly after streaming a Hulu video for 15 minutes. After playing "World of Warcraft" for 15 minutes, the bottom of the notebook and the center of the keyboard reached 108 degrees, We consider anything above 95 degrees to be uncomfortable. The 15-inch MacBook Pro can run quite warm under stress. While running various benchmarks, the MacBook Pro's fan occasionally got loud enough for us to hear it from across the room, but it wasn't too disturbing. We still find it annoying that memory cards protrude from the notebook when inserted. In addition to a second USB 3.0 port, the right side of the MacBook Pro has an SD Card slot and HDMI port. The MagSafe 2 power connector, headphone jack and dual microphones also line the left side. As the world waits for blazing-fast peripherals to match, you can use one of two USB 3.0 ports (one on the left and on the right). We're talking up to 20 Gbps, or four times faster than USB 3.0. So you see what's involved: placement/23431Click to EnlargeThe left side of the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro houses two new Thunderbolt 2 ports that promise twice the bandwidth of the original Thunderbolt. Pros for the Aura Pro: it's available as the ONLY option.Ĭons: Price, a weird device that the system doesn't handle too well (check the tech specs), ONLY works inside the Mac, cannot be used on an external enclosure (their Envoy Pro enclosure only works with the original Apple 'chiclet'), the Aura Pro ONLY works with APFS, meaning High Sierra and successors. Alas, since all these models are now discontinued and the newer ones are a sealed one-piece unupgradeable unit, the potential marketplace for third-party providers is shrinking and there's no incentive anymore. Since you are already at High Sierra and the storage formatted at APFS, you can opt for their 2TB Aura Pro option, and that is the absolute ceiling for those devices unless somebody comes up with something bigger. As posted by Allan Other World Computing offers the only alternative to upgrading the internal 'chiclet' that serves as a drive. Yours belongs to the family of the last upgradeable MBPs. Will I be able to simply reinstall OS and data from my last time machine backup (on an external drobo nas) to the new HD? Thanks in advance!

Currently 1 TB and FULL! Would like to max the HD to 4TB if possible (based on my specs) Contacted apple support but they could not tell me how high I could go (2TB, 3TB, 4?). Need to upgrade the SSD in my late 2013 Macbook Pro.
