I cannot answer your question with experience. I use PC equipment. However, the mac and pc are two different Operating Systems and should have nothing to do with the hard dirve. The SSHD should work with your lap top IF it has the SATA plugs. It must also physically fit in your computer. The PNY is a 2.5 inch drive most common with lap tops. The Mac has a different OS so you would need to find the clone software that can make a clone of your Mac to the new PNY SSDrive. I had a WD drive and Western Digital had a free software for me to download and use to make a clone of the drive to my new PNY SSD. I purchased a USB 2.5 drive case and installed the new PNY in the case. The clone software identified both my WD drive in my computer and the PNY drive I inserted in the USB case. I followed the instructions to clone the WD to the destination drive. It took about 45 minutes I believe. After this I removed the WD drive and installed the new PNY drive clone copy and it operated just as the original but faster. My battery seemedtolast a bit longer butthereal test was the fast boot up and operation of the clone copy. It was like having a new laptop. I would think the same would apply for installing the MAC OS onto a new PNY drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll need to have an external SATA connection order for it to work with your laptop. If you don't then it won't work unless you get some type of converter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I installed a similar drive in a MacBook Pro 2011. It's not a problem. Your machine has a 2.5" laptop drive. This SSD has the same form factor.
