The actual logic board for an MBP is around 1/8-1/4 the area of the entire laptop. On a desktop tower, you may have a socketed processor, but modern laptops (ANY modern laptop) certainly do not. I presume a modern Lenovo uses SATA drives, like the MacBook Pro, so the only possible problem might be if the Lenovo allows for a physically taller drive than the MBP, and it has one. The memory packages may well be compatible. Regarding the OP's post, and assuming they're upgrading to a standard MacBook Pro: Of course, it's anyone's guess when Apple will kill off the standard MacBook Pro. The standard MacBook Pro can still have RAM & HDD changed out by the user. ONLY if you are talking about the MacBook Air, or the Retina MacBook Pro. Īlso make sure that you know that nothing on the new Macbooks can be upgraded, not even the hard drive or RAM. You're better off selling it and putting the money toward a MacBook Pro. To top that all off, you would lose any resale value on the Lenovo by removing all this stuff. Again, you would not gain much by trying to swap the RAM. They may be different speeds or voltages. I could probably look up the RAM specs on the Apple Macbook Pro line, but there is no guarantee you can swap them. The RAM ? The cheapest Macbook Pro has 4gig and the next one up has 8 Gig. changing the HD is probably a lot of effort for little gain. The Retina display ones have a solid state drive. The cheapest Macbook Pro has a 500Gb drive and the next one up has a 750Gb, so you're not really upgrading much. Most current Apple's have a recovery partition hidden on the drive to restore your computer. I doubt it is on the Lenovo either.Īs to the hard drive, it COULD be swapped, but the drivers for the motherboard, video, etc will be all wrong and Apple doesn't have a place to download drivers, like PC companies do. Don't even THINK about trying to change the processor.
