Apple MacBook Pro 11,1
Specifications
Defects
- USB ports seem to be defective in many MacBookPro11,x check your kernel console.
- Screen staingate home solutions - check the end of the thread
Notes
- Ram is welded on the motherboard so you have to buy immediately the option that best fit your need.
- SSD is welded on a non standard PCI-Ex card and probably it will be hard to replace in the future.
- It has two USB3.0 ports, two Thunderbolts2 ports, one Full-HDMI, SD/MMC card reader and hybrid audio port. NO more Kensington lock, power led and battery indicator
- Audio connector is an hybrid microphone+headphone, I tried a Samsung headset and both microphone and earpieces works fine in Linux and MacOS X, other OSs not tested.
Guides
- 4k@60Hz - (really 4k@50Hz using DisplayPort)
Operating systems
Linux
Currently I'm maintaining the official page on Debian wiki, please refer to that page.
MacOS X
Of course it works fine!
Caveats
- If your battery doesn't charge anymore, MacOS throttle your CPU at minimum speed!!
Windows
7
I created a bootable usb key using bootcamp and official Microsoft ISO (15/01/2013), anyway I was stuck with the installer because keyboard and touchpad (even external) are not recognized (possibly a problem with USB 3.0 driver)
8.0 / 8.1 / 10 / 11
They work fine using bootcamp and official ISO from Microsoft.
