As it turned out I was down for the week anyway.Īh well, it's not so bad.


I was planning on spending $700 for a third-party TB upgrade anyway, so the BTO really should have been a no-brainer, but I didn't want the downtime, and I wanted to walk out of the store with a working solution. Looking backwards a week, I could have saved $400 by taking the $2,000 credit for the swap and BTOing a 2.2 GHz model with integrated GPU and the 1 TB of SSD for $2,800. This also gave me an extra 600 MHz and a discrete GPU that I don't need, but now I have it. I went back to the Manhattan Beach Apple Store and convinced the cute store manager to allow me the privilege of paying $1,200 to swap my 256 GB model for the 1 TB model. 2009 Macbook Pro SSD Upgrade Is the Polycarbonate MacBook still good in 2020?
