Pimp my Macbook

[TubsAlwaysWins]

What mods should I do to my Macbook Pro 2012? I want a really cool laptop and a fun project piece.

 

I was thinking  a keyboard back light mod. Anything else I should do? (Not looking for hardware upgrades right now)

Lol.

It was a free macbook (Used from my cousin). It was better than my old laptop (3rd Gen i5 vs 2nd Gen i3)

Plastidip if you're adventurous or just get a skin for it. Not a whole lot you can do in terms of customization

get a skin for it or maybe an ssd

yeah my best laptop invovles a 1.6ghz C2D and 2gb ram. Hence why i don't use a laptop for anything.

My old laptop was a Dell Inspiron 5400 or something with a i3 2330 or something and 6Gb of RAM. Now it has 4Gb (Took the RAM for my macbook).

 

My old laptop could run GMOD at 40fps (MAX FPS) for around 30 minutes until the battery died. (On GM_City or something). My Macbook did the same thing (Exact same scenario) at 90FPS and by the time my old laptop died it was at 70%. So id say it was worth it

So you want to brick your $400-500 piece of hardware?

(yes, it's still worth that)

Doubt mine is worth that. Got some dents in it.

Also Im pretty good at not breaking things and figuring out when a step will be beyond my ability

Macbook Pros 2012s with scratch and dent typically sell for around that price. They hold their value very well.

Huh. One way or another $0 down so $0 loss
