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

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.
