I need help. Mid 2010 MBP with upgraded Ram and 250 GB Samsung SSD. It has been running pretty slow lately and this happens about three times weekly. Any ideas?

This is exactly what I did (late 2011 13" MBP), except I just put the 500gb HDD I had in the optical bay. Loving the SSD man. I may have to venture out into making that 500gb at least a 1TB drive myself for the extra space and "regular" storage is so cheap now.
I need to grab an external enclosure for the super drive now and I will be good.

If all you're worried about is which capacity to buy then ask your girl if shes gonna download music and all that. She'll go through 128GB easy downloading music and movies etc.
If she's not gonna be downloading too much then go with the 128GB MBP.

my model only supports PCI fam. ( i have no idea what the hell this means ) Im just now getting my googles's on and researching all this. Quick question, would it be best for me to find a used ssd with larger storage or just go for the Samsung Evo?

PCIe SSDs is what theyre using in newer macbooks. Its faster than the SATA SSDs but also cost more.
Tbh i dont know where to start looking for PCIe SSDs or which of them are reliable.
logic board most likely.

15in were having logic board issues at one point and Apple were replacing them for a period.
But yea probably logic board.

depends on the computer. retina computer's battery is part of the top case and even that depends on the exact model fo the computer.
non retina pros are like $100-$120. this is just the price for the part, not the labor.

It isn't retina.
Retina ones didn't start dropping until the mid-2012 models I believe

^ Can you go to an Apple store and check what's up?
That looks terrible. Can it power on and show up the regular screen?

So fortunately we had the Bestbuy protection. The only problem is the wait could be two-three weeks. I'm going to Apple on Sunday to see if they can do any better and for how much. I also need to back up everything before it gets shipped off.

I need some help. So my mid 2012 mbp has been working fine up until about a month ago. Currently on 10.10.5 with 16gb ram. Computer has slowed down across the board with all apps. Constantly getting the spinning color wheel and occasionally it will restart on its own. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you done a SRAM or even a PRAM reset?
Hows the HDD? Try running permissions or even repair the HD?
Did you install any recent apps/programs prior to these issues?
