Hi,
*I'm very ignorant w/ computers so pardon anything I say below that sounds off or dumb*
Looking for some advice. I have a late 2008 Macbook Alu unibody with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB of RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB Graphics Card (and am currently running OS X 10.8.5).
I recently found out that since I have the right EFI and at least 10.6.6 OS X, I can actually upgrade my RAM to 8 GB.
My question is -- if I upgrade my hard drive (160 GB SATA Disk) to an SSD (thinking 512 GB) and upgrade my RAM to 8GB, is the difference in performance worth the money, or should I just look to buy a new mac?
I am getting into photography and videography, so I'll be primarily be using the computer for LightRoom, Premiere and possibly Logic in the future.
I have been torn between buying a new iMac or Macbook Pro, but wanted to see how far I push the macbook I'm already using. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some insight/advice!!!
Chris
