Hi all, looking for some advice. I have an old macbook model A1181 (2007 I believe) that's been sitting around for the past 4-5 years unused. It's in great condition considering it's age and looking/hoping to restore for my 9 year old daughter. She is currently using a chromebook for school but I really hate that machine and would like to introduce her to the world of macbook as she's alway asking to use my MBP.
I have two questions/requests for advice:
1. I am considering getting a cheap SSD to install to get a bit of a boost but not sure if that is recommended and if this model would support that.
2. The trackpad is worn down a bit where the coating has worn off in some parts and is now smooth and sticky so tracking is inconsistent. Could I buy a skin/protector to cover and would I recover some of the consistency...I think the wearing down of the coating now makes the plastic shiny and sticky but it still works.
Thanks ahead for any advice.
