I bought this to replace a spinning drive in an older laptop. The system seemed faster with the SSD installed. I've bought 2 of these now for about $150-160 each, and that seems like a good value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This seems to be a good screen protector. It covers the screen thoroughly, but leaves room for the TouchID, camera, and phone audio parts. I was leery of the install process, from other bad experiences, but this worked very well for positioning and for removing bubbles. I did get a couple of minor bubbles, but that's probably from my clumsiness, and they're barely noticeable.

I used this to set up a used iPhone 5s on Tracfone's Verizon-based service. It worked great,a nd the one-dollar price can't be beat.

What's there to say about a gift card for a movie chain? Buying this was as easy as AMC.

Don't be fooled by knock-offs. If you want to spend gift card money at the iTunes store, this kind of card will work better than any other.

I upgraded our PC from a 5400 RPM HDD to this SSD, and it feels much faster at startup and app launches. Our motherboard only supports SATA-II at 3GB/s, so we're not even maxing out the speed. I'd recommend it at a hundred bucks.

I had already owned the previous version of this, so its setup was very easy. It connected to our AT&T U-verse box without any problem, and we've had success with both wired and wireless connections.

We bought this for my parents, who haven't had a standalone DVD player before. It was pretty easy to set up. We haven't done any network/streaming services yet, but my other Sony B-R player's ease of use makes me confident we'll get those going without too much trouble.

My kid has been asking for Minecraft for a while. We played the mobile version, but she was ready to graduate to the desktop one. The card was easy to find, and (fairly) simple to use for enrolling.

This laptop memory isn't fancy in packaging or performance, but it does just what I needed. BB's price match with Amazon was a big factor in my choice to buy it here.

Is this compatible with a mid-2009 MacBook Pro? And, what does the Geek Squad at Best Buy charge to install for you?

MacBook Pro 2.26 GHz.
I installed it myself in my mid-2009 MBP, so I don't know the Geek Squad price, but it seems to work fine.

Is this applicable for a Macbook from early 2011? It's a 4GB currently.

It fit my 2009 MacBook Pro fine. It should fit physically in a 2011 model, but check your speed requirements at everymac-dot-com.
