The advice is greatly appreciated, but only says what I already know. (edit-end The thread literally says don't do it as it's far from a DIY, so I probably can't do it. Just so that you know, flying or taping external drives on the MacBook Pro 2018 is not an option, since it is all of very hot, easy to break, non-portable, and ugly. Cost is why I'm asking this in the first place so please put where I could get the materials needed and be aware of how much they cost (If it takes a 100$ screw set, it's acceptable, but if it takes a 10000$ hydraulic whatever huge gear that takes up an entire room, no.). There are three questions, I am not sure whether another MacBook Pro's SSD would work on the 2018 version and that is 2 TB, because it might be available, that I can, or someone else (Perhaps Linus ?) could put the SSD into the socket, so how the old SSD is secured, and how to actually get the SSD and put it in the socket without breaking. I did some research on the internet saying that it is, or may be possible, to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2018's SSD, but the SSD is proprietary (I'm not sure whether I spelled the word right.) so I cannot get the SSD if Apple doesn't sell it to me and that there would be no reason to buy another Apple laptop's SSD just for this one. I want the 2 TB or 4TB storage, but the cost has kept me at bay. The pre-2013 Mac Pro was an aluminium tower that many described as a cheese-grater due to the holes on the case, and the new Mac Pro recalls that design, although now the holes are bigger.I am about to buy a MacBook Pro 2018. It’s not just the dimensions and weight of the new Mac Pro that reminds us of the old-old Mac Pro. And in an entirely different league to the 2013 Mac Pro, which, looking back, is more like theĬube in terms of Apple trying to make a smaller version of the Mac Pro when people didn’t really want a smaller version of the Mac Pro.Īpple probably could have made the new Mac Pro smaller, but they seem to have learned their lesson now.īecause it’s such a hulk of a machine there are two sturdy handles on top, and you can buy wheels (an additional £360/$400) so you can skateboard it around the studio.

So, about two centimeters taller than the 2012 Mac Pro, and a fraction lighter.
