Apple made this with "Exciting Features That Work Like Magic", and we upgraded it to be faster.
But don't take our word for how incredibly faster an SSD upgraded MacBook Pro is,
... before you hit the "Buy It Now" button, watch my startup video below,

"With an SSD, my Apple MacBook upgrade reads data 5X faster than when new...
 

The MacBook's fast upgraded SSD Drive is running the popular version of macOS, High Sierra

High Sierra is a very popular macOS with "a market share of approx 2 million users" and you can even
get OpenCore Legacy Patcher to run modern macOS, but remember older apps must be upgraded too.

When you were younger, do you remember this from school, college or work?
