You must understand, there is risk in anything like this you decide to do, and some features may not work 100% correctly, and you do this, knowing that is a possibility. If you have an older Mac, but perhaps a little newer than this one I have, and Apple has stopped supporting it, you just might want to consider this as an option. I'll report back with any further developments. I mean, at times you would think you were back to spinning hard drive days. Not so bad once you actually get in to the app you want to work with, but between the press to launch that app, and the time it actually launches, it can be 10-15 seconds. Observations so Far? Well, with only 4 gb of ram, and a dual core processor, it's slow. Next step, get Windows up and running via Bootcamp. Secondly?

It only has 4 gb of ram, so pretty sad that that can't be upgraded, but I did have a friend help me out in replacing the 128 gb ssd with one that is 512 gb, and we put a new battery in it. It's a 2012 MacBook Air, so very old and not fast in the least bit.
