This Magic Mouse 2 is crazy. I've had it, and used it at least 8 hours a day since November 25th (21 days) and it's on 71%. I haven't charged it once since I got it. At this rate I won't have to charge it until March

I may cop one, the batteries in my MM1 dont even charge to 100% any more

I was thinking about doing this. Thing is I have a MBP 2010 so id need to upgrade to the MBP Retina to have any shot at doing this. Maybe once another BF deal comes around ill invest in something like this.

Ever since I upgraded to el capitan I've had nothing but issues.
First was the microsoft office mess, multiple productivity I use are now filled with bugs and problems, and not mention runs slower overall then ever.
I've had nightmare with the original hard drive which probably wasn't related but I ended up losing data and buying a new one.
Since the new drive I've had iTunes completely destroy my library and the partition I boot off of has twice become unreadable or corrupt so thank goodness for time machine restores.
So to my question, I'm inexperienced with Time Machine, is it possible to restore to a prior backup of Yosemite but still keep files and documents from after intact? Or is the safest bet to separately backup data from after then migrate it in.

If your inexperienced the best option is the latter option. You can try the time machine then and if it doesnt work your date is still saved on a separate drive so you can load it back up.

I dont think 525 is a bad price at all, youre definitely gonna need more ram but prices are going down so it wont cost you too much for new ram.

I'm having these same exact problems with mine. Same year/model as well.
It's been even worse since I upgraded to El Capitan. My kid brother has a
newer model with the retina display MB and his computer is just all around
faster and more quiet than I remember mine being. I'm more than annoyed
and just decided to throw it on CL for 7.

There was a recall on the 2011 macbooks due to the video card failing.
Take you macbook to the apple store and let them know about the video issues you are having.
You may get the entire logic board and battery replaced for free.
