Breathed even very old MacBook Pro a new life!

I have long wondered whether I should buy a new MacBook Pro, or if I want to use my old laptop (MBP 17 ", mid 2007) but a little longer to wait until Apple a really new product (new design, brand new features, touchscreen etc.). Since my MBP still works in and of itself good, I decided to wait. After an upgrade of RAM was a replacement of the hard drive's turn. I have decided for the SSD Kit solution from Samsung because here everything is already included, I might need to buy, but possibly also for later use of SSD in other computers.

The installation went very well. I opted for a "Clean Install" to get rid of unnecessary weight of the previous system.
So I go about it:

1) bootable USB stick with OSX create (there are instructions how to do that)
2) Create backup (eg using SuperDuper)
3) Screw the MBP (there are, for example, at iFixit a good guide)
Replace 4) HDD
Screw together 5) Notebook again
Insert 6) USB flash drive with OSX, reboot computer while holding down the alt key, boot from a USB stick
7) format with Disk Utility, the new SSD, install OSX new
Import 8) data from backup, if necessary, install the latest versions of software
Install 9) Trim Enabler and restart (free tool) -> DONE!

I am really very pleased with the result. The computer works much faster - as completely revitalized. So I can with the notebook loose for some time to work and wait for a whole new generation of MacBooks appear, so that the new purchase is really worth.
