lightening. I think you can upgrade up to 2015 13in. After that Apple made it so you couldn’t upgrade the computer yourself, they glued the components so what you ordered you were stuck with. I went in Craiglist and found a 2013 MBP 13in in good working order and souped it up for my neighbor. Cost about $100 for SSD and RAM but very easy to install. Beats paying for a new machine. You can get a good 2013 13in MBP for about $250-$300. I also still use my 2007 iMac for watching tv shows for free. Watching Turkish history shows now about the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Each episode is about 2 1/2 hours, great acting, no commercials and each period has about 150 episodes. So I have watched from Ertrugal the Kati Tribe leader to Osman the Father of the Ottomans and Ertrugals youngest son all the way up to the last Sultan Abdul Hamid II. What a fascinating history. Hundreds of hours of riveting tv. Only drawback is subtitled but I got used to them quickly. Also can watch Drillis Ertrugal on Netflix with voiceover. I’m obsessed with Turkish history now and can’t wait to go to Istanbul. Learned more history watching these shows than any other place. Google “Watch Turkish shows free”. Or go to Turkish123.com or Kayifamilytv.com 2 good sites to watch.
