I had a Macbook from 2007. Will the battery and RAM work in this model? Can the video card output to over 40-inch HDTV? I know some other models earlier in 2008 says the video output is only good to a max of 30-inch LED.

Not sure - I bought one and installed in my Mac Pro. Start-up screen was as the original video card. However, this replacement card did not look exactly like the original one it replaced.

It sure does....I'm using them in mine right now. That model of the MacBook was originally only support 4gb max, but there's a firmware update that you should have if you do regular updates that allows 8gb to be supported.

I installed the 500 G into my 2008 MacBook Pro on 3/28/12. It's quiet, fast, and has been excellent. Zero problems. I use the MBP every day running the battery (replaced once) down to 6-15% watching a movie in the evening. AC during the day for full recharge. Does the HD run all the time? I really don't know. I can't hear it. I have four 500 G externals that are used for backups (but not often enough :-( ). They are WD devices and I've have no problems with them either. I like the 500 size over any T sizes for reasons of redundancy. I double info onto the 500s, i.e. two 500s for the same back-up, thus if one goes down, I have a dupe. More than you wanted to know.

According to the Inq article that broke the news: Only the 9600 Nvida (the one that is inside the Macbook PRO) has the bad material (high lead bumps) that could fail in the future. The 9400 of the Macbook is not affected. So it is safe to say that the Alu Macbook should be fine.Another good and cheaper option is to get the BLACK older Generation Macbook which has firewire, a fast 2.4 GHZ c2D processor and has a Intel integrated graphics chip which means it will not fail like the ones with the Nvida graphics.

Hello Mia,Your MacBook is from about the right year. The only way I can be sure is if you give me your macbook's model number. It's usually written really small on the bottom of the computer. It will probably look something like "MA699LL/A," if you email the model number of your MacBook I will let you know exactly which ram to buy and how much you can use. Thanks

I have an older 2008 MacBook and so far, it's working just fine for me! &lt;3

I'm far from being an expert on Apple devices (I bought this for a friend) but for what I can see on the Apple web site, 2008 MacBook requires DDR2 and these are DDR3 which makes it non-compatible with your device. Sorry to give you bad news. These is what I think might work for you: Komputerbay MACMEMORY Apple 4GB (single 4GB stick) PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SODIMM iMac and Macbook MemoryI think 4GB is the maximum for a 2008 MacBook but as stated I'm not MacBook owner so I'm not 100% sure. Good luck!

That's one of my favorite MacBook Pro models! Nickname is "Glossy". Yes, that is the correct RAM type and speed, but the A1150 only supports 2GB of RAM. If you install 4GB, it will not recognize the additional memory. This is the second generation of Intel Macs, and the memory addressing is limited by the processor and the logic board. It's also a 32-bit processor, so you're going to be limited in your upgrading options (both software and hardware) going forward. If you are looking to speed this computer up, you might consider upgrading the Hard Drive to a solid state drive. It isn't as fast as RAM, but it will minimize the "spinning colored wheel" you're probably getting when launching apps or browsing the internet. You can get a small SSD for &lt;$100. Installation is tricky if you've never done it before, so you might be springing for labor. Hope that helps.

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

I have the exact same laptop and it worked just fine. Just make sure to power down your Mac before changing out the memory. There are a number of great instructional videos on YouTube on how to remove the base and disconnect the battery prior to installing your memory. Very simple process.

I have not used a MacBook, but if it has a DVI port or a VGA port, it should work. Although, you may need to download different drivers.

I have a white Macbook circa 2008. It had 2GB. I replaced the two 1GB's with a 4GB and a 2GB. This was back in December 2012. I've got 6GB confirmed. It's worked fine ever since. No problems whatsoever.

Hi, David, We have six Macintosh laptops in our household, ranging from 2 500 MHz ice ibooks bought back in 2000 to a new Macbook and a new Macbook pro. All of them are still working really well, given their ages and what we've put them through. There have been some flaws, yes, but no more flaws than friends who have PC laptops have endured (and they're in worse shape than we are sometimes). We have gotten two lemons; my partner's Ti Powerbook had a manufacturing flaw that showed up causing the motherboard to short circuit, and my first Macbook had a literally warped case, which meant it cracked. However, those can happen to anyone and it was just bad luck as far as I'm concerned -- he bought his through the apple online store, I got mine in person at the apple store. Buy Applecare. ALWAYS. And never go to the Genius bar if you can avoid it -- it's named ironically. Applecare and the applecare 800 number are your best bet. The bigger test I think is the powerbooks and ibooks that are now 4 and 8 years old, respectively. They're all going strong. One's our file server, one's a music server for the house, one runs a linux test environment, and one's in my kitchen, serving as my recipe library and media etc center. They all get a lot of work, and other than all being restarted every sunday night at 8, they pretty much run continually. Of course they're out of battery, but that's to be expected. Batteries don't last forever. Good luck, and I hope this helped!
