See full list on lowendmac.com. The mid-2009 13' Macbook Pro actually runs the patched High Sierra quite nicely (and Sierra before it). Macintosh photo software. I'm posting this from mine, a completely maxed-out MBP with 8gb of ram and SSD drive. The 13″ MBP uses the same keyboard as the MacBook Air, complete with backlighting. Question: Q: Sierra upgrade on Mid-2009 MacBook Pro Is Sierra smart enough not to let me install it on a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro? Has anyone tried it and what is the outcome, you just can't access some of the features or does it just not work at all?
