I'm likely going to get a 16" model next year. But my needs and usage is not the same as others.

I would rather personally keep my 15" MacBook Pro Unibody then give up the screen size. You also need to do it at time of purchase as you can't alter it later (unlike the 13/15" Unibody MacBook Pro's. The newer retina 2016 (butterfly) or older 2015 (scissor) I think that's getting closer in the comparison.Īs far as costs most of the 2012 13/15" Unibody logic boards are in the $450~650 where the buying the newest 2020 13" MacBook Air is $1000 ~1300 range at the base and adding RAM & storage gets expensive! And the 2016 ~ 2019 MacBook Pro retinas they are still more expensive and they also force you into USB-C. Whereas the 2012 has a better GPU and not as badly CPU throttled. The new air has a very nice screen, but it doesn't have the GPU power and is thermally limited.

What I need is to install both cards AMD and Ati drivers and then disable AMD card so that Intel takes over.- I think you need to reword what you wrote as your first statement, doesn't jive with what you say at the end.Īs far as the pro's and con's of refitting a 2012 logic board into a 2011 system Vs buying a MacBook Air 2020. System accepted them as correct ones and then this happens. Only during the GPU detection step the screen goes mad. Can someone smarter than myself explain to me what am I doing wrong? Drivers for the Intel HD 3000 GPU always installed without any warning. Custom resolution, 3 different GPU drivers and so on. I did a lot of research up to this point. This applies to both the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models. However that program has since come to an end for the 2011 models, according to Apple. It is stretched, with maximum resolution 1280x800 (while the Intel HD 3000 card native res is 1860 x 1050), It looks like the screen is stretched beyond the LCD capabilities but I know its not true as I can get the native resolution working in MacOS and Linux. If you bought a 2011 MacBook Pro and you were experiencing video issues, know that Apple had a repair program running that would address the issue for you. No matter what I do after installation of Intel HD 3000 graphics always ends up looking like this:

Reinstalled fresh 20 - 30 times during the last 4 - 5 weekends.Tried installing stuff in different order, drivers first, Intel Drivers Update Utility + chipset firmware updated (inf) first, update fully first, different set of drivers as mentioned above. I tried installing AMD drivers first, Intel first, I tried disabling AMD graphics in the Device Manager, I tried setting up custom resolution. I tried installing the drivers before and after installing bootcamp for Windows 7.

I tried the Win7 64 bit driver, Win 8.1 64 bit driver, windows update driver. Laptop finishes installation, I am allowed to log in to windows and I can see two basic graphics interfaces in the device manager.

I am installing Windows 10 Pro 64 bits using EFI boot, everything works great. Found out that the GPU supposedly works great from the drivers from Windows update. For some reason Intel decided to abandon HD 3000 graphics and does not provide the drivers for Windows 10. Few graphics glitches, not great performance. Refind allows me to switch between the installations without any problem. Fun fun fun.Script needs to be re-run if PRAM was cleared so I saved it as /boot/ FixAMD.sh in my ArchLinux. Thanks to this hack I was able to install MacOS Sierra, prepare space for unsupported on this laptop Windows 10 Professional 64 bit and then shrink the windows partiton and install Arch Linux 64 bit with Plasma desktop. What does it do? It tells the laptop to turn off discrete AMD graphics and to use Intel card. We heard all the forums that the MBP will be reset by Apple. Mount -t efivarfs rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ &
This is the script I have used while booted to Arch Linux live cd. So far I've managed to use a EFI hack to disable the discrete AMD graphics. This laptop has a i7 cpu, 4 cores 8 threads, I've extended its memory to 8 GB and I keep trying to bring it back to life. I am not a wealthy person and I love to tinker with the hardware. Its a common fault in those machines and the users were offered a replacement - there was a special recall program which ended long before I got my hands on this laptop. The discrete graphics in the laptop (AMD Radeon HD 6750M) is dead. This machine as many of its generation was dumped because of a graphics fault. I own a MacBook Pro 2011 A1286 which I got as a freebie from a friend who saved it from the corporate dumpster.
