Will this work for my MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010? Do you include screws/brackets? Exactly what tools are need to complete installation?

First question: Will it fit? The trackpad fit my Mid/late 2009 unibody Aluminum 13" MBP, and I don't believe Apple used a different trackpad on their unibody models, at least through 2012. I read the reviews, in which this theory was confirmed, and users were reporting that this trackpad worked for a variety of 13" unibody MBP's for a number of years. Question 2: Just like when replacing the hard drive or the battery, you use the screws and brackets that came with your MacBook Pro. In this case, the screws and brackets that held the former trackpad are what you use. The screws are exceedingly small, but seemed durable enough to endure a very careful transplant. As for Question #3, you need a Size #00 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on the bottom of the unit, as well as the tiny screws that hold the trackpad in place, and a fairly unusual Tri-wing TRI 1 screwdriver to remove the battery. FWIW all the right bits came in the same Tekton 2830 27 piece driver/bit set (with spudgers!) I got from Amazon in 2011, and which I'm very happy with - also comes with pentalobe bits for iPhones, Torx bits for the MBP's hard drive holders, etc.) As for detailed directions on how to do the transplant itself, I highly recommend ifixit.com, which has helped me many times. The site helps you zero in on exactly the model you have, then gives you step-by-step, clearly photographed, detailed instructions for DIY replacement on your laptop, phone, etc. of most major replaceable components.

You "can", but it is bound to come loose. You can order screws off of amazon. My Mac Pro had the screws in the logic board.

DUDE! Where did you get a 17" retina!?(hint.... the answer is, they don't exist... if you have a 17" unibody macbook pro, it's non-retina. These screws SHOULD fit any 17" unibody laptop, and I'm about to check them on mine in 2 days.As of july 2014 apple has decided to not make 17" laptops leaving many of us to look for other alternatives.)

Mine came with screws. The way it mounts I think it will not b reliable if it works at all, without screws. There are some threads online to find screw size. Then call fastenal or other fastener company and get some. They are about 50 cents each. Online it's about 5 bucks apiece from apple. I didn't expect screws so I checked out size online. Don't have info as it's been months.

Should work but not certain. Check it out. If not workable, easy to return. Highly likely to be ok. Works perfectly on my MacBook Pro 13".

not sure but I installed this drive on a macbookpro model 5.1. It works fine, but some of the holes dont align right. I installed it supported by 3 of the 4 screws. It seemed solid enough. I would also try a compressed air or a lens cleaner disc before replacing the whole drive

Actually I bought one for my son's 2010 Mac Book and it worked fine. Just make sure that you have the model number correct and that yours is a unibody. It is very straight forward to install. We were very happy with it.

You need to look this up on Apple's site. Just search "2010 macbook pro upgrades"

Hi Jacquelyn, It fits perfect for 2012-13 Macbook pro. Go ahead and buy one if your planning to do so.

I didn't install personally, someone else did it for me, but I would say 2 screws and that should be it. It took it no time to do so, like a minute.

Yes this will work in your late 2011 Macbook Pro. I believe you need a T6 torx driver to remove the hard drive screws. No additional cables are needed. You can check out iFixit.com for repair guides.

Noe - It will. I have a 2010 MacBook pro and that's what I'm using in my machine. I checked with the OWC folks via an online chat and they assured me it will. Hit them up that way if you want more conformation prior to making a purchase. Take care. - C
