As far as future upgrade prospects, a new logic board from iFixit is ~1/2 the price of a new MacBook Pro.
So, could one retrofit, say, a mid 2010 unibody 15” MBP with a late 2011 logic board (including new heat sinks and new battery)?
I noticed the heatsink screw points are ever so slightly skewed and that the battery connector has changed, but most everything else seems about the same.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

You would still need a means to cut a hole in the case for the TB port. I think your going to far here. Too many chances for problems.
Best to sell your current system and buy a new (used) system with a TB port if your really need it.
Frankly, the cost of TB devices are still very high and don't offer enough to warrant getting them quite yet.
War diese Antwort hilfreich?
+ I really have to agree. A 1 TB external HD from LaCie is $450.
With the current system already having a Mini DisplayPort hole in the case right where the Thunderbolt port ought to be, I didn’t imagine it would be quite so drastic…
Do the heatsink screws mount onto the chassis or the logic board? I ask mostly because the upgrade would afford future-proofness. I wouldn’t be doing this any time soon – this system will be good enough for me for a while still.
