Mid 2012 15" MBP.
Do you need an SSD for later OSX versions to not have shit boot times?
General MBP thread. Did you manage to get Windows to boot in EFI mode on your older hardware without horrible issues?
Get out

It's fine for a mechanical disk.

Feels good to be superior. Apple stopped caring about the software in ~2011

No you need a new 2015 Macbook pro® with retnia display™, eRecycle that when the 2016 one comes out

So OSX is just hot garbage for mechanical disks now?
I could easily slap an SSD in there but I'd rather wait for 1TB drives to be a bit cheaper. Sandisk Ultra II was hitting <200 a few times around Christmas.

I understand your jest but the mid-2012 is the last model that is actually upgradable.

I wish. Audio is fucked or GPU is fucked. Or both.
Hacky, emulated BIOS for life.
>>53714246
that's what Steve Jobs invented virtual machines for.
nobody should be rebooting in this day and age unless there's a software patch that requires it.
>>53714290
OP here. Ironically enough windows boots faster on the same machine.

I finally understand why Snow Leopard fags are so adamant about using it.
After lion the laptop takes much longer to sleep also. Fuck updates.

Or you want full hardware acceleration.
Yes. Games.

OS X is garbage for any drive as long as it relies on HFS and HFS+
