What is the latest model of MBP I can swap out the HDD on?

My late-2011 MBP is finally dying – I think the graphics card has come loose. Currently I have it working by forcing it to use integrated graphics only (as soon as I switch to dynamic the screen gets totally garbled and it eventually freezes up). Obviously not a permanent fix.
So I need to swap it out in the next couple of days. I figure I may as well upgrade to a newer version, if my budget can handle it.
Currently I have a ~1TB SSD in my computer. Ideally I'd like to just yank it from this computer and swap it into my replacement laptop. I know some of the newer ones make it difficult to switch out the HDD (and I'm not sure I can just use any SSD even in that case?). I'm wondering what the latest version of a 15" MBP is that I can just switch out the existing HDD for my SSD.
Ideally I'd have two ports for monitors, since I currently use a ridiculous contraption to use my two external monitors. But if that's not possible, the HDD swapability is more important.
Thank you all so much for your help!

Yup, non of the ones there will have the old SATA drive. Only the 13"
There is a Retina 15" there w/ 1 TB:

"non-Apple supplier,""
The disadvantage there would be the lack of 3 years of AppleCare.

In the latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button

In my latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button, even when I try to customize the toolbars.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
If you do not see that button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in its old position.

HT2311 After installing the latest version of ITunes, I can't get the store to launch

I'm trying to open the iTunes store after downloading the latest version of iTunes

Turning off the auto-renew does not cancel the service. To actually cancel, or turn off the service, you need to contact iTunes Store support. What the instructions are are getting is telling you to do is to cancel the auto-renew. You can accomplish that by, in iTunes:
1. Pull down the Store menu and select "view account."
2. Enter your credentials when prompted.
3. In the middle of the page click the hightlight button:

The itunes store app on the iphone 4s does not appear on the iphone at all so i can't purchase any media. I have done all the updates on the iphone and in itunes. This happened right after i did the latest iphone update. HOW CAN I GET THE ITUNES BACK?

after doing all the latest updates to both my iphone 4s and itunes the itunes store app on the iphone just dissapeared. Now i can't purchase any media. How can i get itunes store app back on my iphone?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?

I can't upload photos from iphoto (on my iMac) to facebook. Error message comes up saying 'error occurred with iphoto - try again later'. I've installed the latest software updates but still can't get the photos to upload. Can anyone help please.

Hi, Hope this is in the right place.
I'm trying to upload photos into facebook from my iMac. I've clicked on the upload to facebook icon in iphoto but just get an error message saying 'error occurred with iPhoto - try again later. I've also had problems lately when I click on a photo to open it I just get a grey screen with an exclamation mark. I've downloaded the latest software but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks hopefully,

I have the latest photoshop cc 2014 and can't get the generator to work

In the latest version of Firefox, I can't get the "Readability" website to work

This website is handy, because it converts online text into a format that is much more readable. To get it to work, you are to drag the "Readability" icon to the web browser's toolbar. This worked in the prior versions of Firefox, but not in the current one. This website works fine, for example, with Chrome.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
If you do not see that button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in its old position.

I just updated to the latest version and now I can't minimize the firefox window. How do I get this back?

I have a Mac and can no longer minimize the firefox window by double clicking the title bar into my dock since I updated to Firefox's latest version. How do I get this feature back?

I've always been able to minimize all my windows by double clicking the title bar. Yes, I could click the yellow button -- I just want the old feature back because I do it so automatically. Now when I double click the title bar it opens a new tab. I was able to do this with all the previous versions of Firefox as well.

I have just bought a new mac book pro with lion. I have a Ibook g4 with the latest 10.4 and I can't get the migration assistant to work the pro still says to update the g4 machine and I have used the latest update.

I can't seam to get the migration to work between my g4 running 10.4 with all the upgrades including migration assistant 1.0.6 to talk to my new Pro.
The pro tells me to upgrade the g4's migration assistant and that has been done as much as I can find.

Hi 'baltwo'
Thank you for your link, I already had been on this particular website this afternoon. they only discuss problems in the application and nothing about how the MS Office application installation does disturb Mac OS.
Or have I missed a special comment there?
In any case many thanks, trioloGo

I would like to see the ability to export the framework to VISIO so I can print out the site for a client to visually see the site.........

I think I said it in the title

Thanks
I forgot about that site. I remember now about putting something into that site about a year or so ago.

what is the latest model/generation for ipod touch?

Stedman1
I'm not sure how all of this works but I read a few of yur comments and figured you'd be the person to ask! I have an iPod touch as well as my iPhone 4. I'm trying to find an otter box for the touch because I truly love it on my ip4, not to mention ive given the touch to my 6 year old and NEED the protection. Anyway, I'm not positive which generation it is and don't want to order the wrong one. The model # is A 1367.
Any help?? Please!!!!

HT1222 I visited the USA and bought an Apple iPhone 4 5.1.1, the latest model. I would like to unlock it and use in my country. How can I get it unlocked so the I can use my local micro sim card? What info about it do you need to assist me in unlocking

Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

I've been working at the same problem for hours now and it's really driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

What is the latest model of MBP I can swap out the HDD on?
