How did you get that installed? From Apple or yourself? and how did you do it? I might get a Samsung one next year if I get a Macbook Pro for xmas.

@santoro2020 I installed it myself. See my video on how to do it.

Hi,just wondered if I shud get a ssd direct from apple or shall I purchase one elsewhere?

[mefouryou]

@redders109 Purchase one elsewhere. The ones from Apple are overpriced and slow.

good video, would you recomend this specific laptop for college? Im going to Penn State next year, major in computer engeneering. I'm a pc user and I'm not familiar at all, I have a powerful gamming compute, I installed mac os x in a partition and I loved but Im not complete sure if i should spend 2000 dollars on a laptop, right now I have a hp pro book and it is a very powerfull toy.

@mrblue2012 I would. But keep in mind I'm a huge fan of the OS due to it's looks, feel and simplicity. Being a college computer science graduate myself, I did get weird looks from my fellow PC using classmates. I installed VMware fusion for doing all our Virtual machine labs, put bootcamp on for running intensive windows applications, and everything went just fine. If you're looking for straight power, your money can get you a better PC laptop. Macbooks cost more, but come with the great OS.
