I have a mid 2010 15 inch macbook pro, will this trackpad be a working replacement to the one I have in now? Any and all feedback is appriciated

If I am not mistaken, the 15inch trackpad has a different cable/connector, so it will not work. We tried swapping trackpads from a 15inch to a 13inch and ran into this issue.

It will replace the one you have and I saved a lot of money by replacing it myself. The battery was the original and you have to remove it to get to the trackpad so I took that opportunity to replace the battery too. You should look at this procedure on UTube. It's not hard to replace the battery but replacing the trackpad is daunting and I don't think I could handle anything more difficult. You have to remove and replace some tiny screws. I did it but it took good eyes, the right tools, ability to manipulate tiny parts, a lot of patience and numerous attempts. Don't get in over your head.

I have a few months with it and have had not a problem with the trackpad... Its a great macbook, I'm really impressed with the speed.

As far as I am concerned the trackpad has no problem. It is something that can be adjusted with the sensibility setting.

Mine was Macbook pro 13 mid-2010. It should fit but not perfectly. I had to bend some corners to make it fit. But once done, working just fine for the last 3 years.

It should be. Mine works perfectly well with a 15 inch MacBook Pro from 2011.

Hi, I'm not sure. My macbook is the 2011 version but I bet you can compare both laptops on google. What it matters is the height and length of the laptop.

No. This will work in 15" macbook pros 2006 to mid 2008. Yours is a unibody macbook pro which means it doesn't have the easy battery swap. You will have to open the case to change the battery. You can get all the info you need on iFixit. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, take it into a local apple store or certified apple repair shop and ask them to do it.

I own a 15" mid 2012 MBP and it works fine. I feel that it shouldn't give you a problem.

Yes. I have used this mouse with mt new MacBook Pro, 15". Once in a while the computer will not recognise the mouse. It does work in conjunction with the track pad.

Well, if it's the product sold by AIBCON I'm not so sure. it worked for six weeks and then the trackpad stopped acting funny. I took it to Apple Genius Bar and, even though the macBook was 5 years old they looked at it for free and found that the battery had warmed and was pressing on the trackpad. I put the dead old battery back in and the trackpad worked fine again, though we had to keep the computer plugged in, but otherwise the computer is fine. I contacted the seller about returning the battery but they said it was after the 30 days so they wouldn't do anything about it. So, I can't advise taking the chance.

Hi Robin, Can never keep the designations straight, replaced the very worn keyboard on my MBP with one of these, it works absolutely the same in feel and function. MBP 4,1 2.6 GHz core 2 Duo. If that's what you have, go for it. - John

The part number A1281 is the same so it should work. I just put one in my daughters late 2008 15" MacBook pro and it seems to work ok. Ask me in six months...

First question: Will it fit? The trackpad fit my Mid/late 2009 unibody Aluminum 13" MBP, and I don't believe Apple used a different trackpad on their unibody models, at least through 2012. I read the reviews, in which this theory was confirmed, and users were reporting that this trackpad worked for a variety of 13" unibody MBP's for a number of years. Question 2: Just like when replacing the hard drive or the battery, you use the screws and brackets that came with your MacBook Pro. In this case, the screws and brackets that held the former trackpad are what you use. The screws are exceedingly small, but seemed durable enough to endure a very careful transplant. As for Question #3, you need a Size #00 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on the bottom of the unit, as well as the tiny screws that hold the trackpad in place, and a fairly unusual Tri-wing TRI 1 screwdriver to remove the battery. FWIW all the right bits came in the same Tekton 2830 27 piece driver/bit set (with spudgers!) I got from Amazon in 2011, and which I'm very happy with - also comes with pentalobe bits for iPhones, Torx bits for the MBP's hard drive holders, etc.) As for detailed directions on how to do the transplant itself, I highly recommend ifixit.com, which has helped me many times. The site helps you zero in on exactly the model you have, then gives you step-by-step, clearly photographed, detailed instructions for DIY replacement on your laptop, phone, etc. of most major replaceable components.

The battery is glued in, so if you try to remove it, you can damage/destroy it and the trackpad. These new Macbooks aren't as freely customizable as some Windows counterparts, so be sure you get the model with the specs you want. If the battery is a deal breaker, than there isn't a Macbook Retina alternative option that fits your desire. Hope this helps!

Yes. Before you replace this unit, make sure that your problems are not being caused by a swelling battery which interferes with the action of the trackpad. I was having problems and replaced the keyboard top case but still had the problem. After replacing the battery, the problem was solved.

Yup this will work for 2010 Mid white macbook. Here is the apple reference URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651#link1 -PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz Type RAM

If the track pad on a MacBook is anything like the one on my Asus N550JV, then yes it should work.
