Annoying Laptop

[hconverse02]

So almost every time I stick my macbook pro (2012) in my backpack and move around it'll shut off because there's a 4 year old hard drive in it...Should I just try and deal with it for the next 2 years and deal with slow boot times and 750gb of space or get a 250gb ssd with christmas money or later next year?  Space isn't an issue, I use like 50gb+the operating system on my current drive, but is there anything I can do about the shutting off when I put it in my bag?

Be happy it does shut off in the bag... else your surely would have needed to change the drive due to hardware malfunction... 

 

Spinning HDDs don't like movement.

I'd get an SSD if you need to throw your laptop in a bag constantly. Sure, you may need more external storage to make up for the lost space, but that's fine.

yeah, you should at least let it go to sleep before throwing it in your bag

 

if you really can't getting an SSD is a better option

he said he doesn't use that much space so i doubt he'd need an external storage device
