Best/Worst Upgrades?

[alphaod]

There is no good or bad upgrade. It's all a matter of what you can afford and your perception of value.

If it's out of price range or your budget can only for certain upgrades, some may sound like a bad upgrade, but if it's an upgrade, how can it inherently be bad?

.... but if it's an upgrade, how can it inherently be bad?

It can backfire. For example: Someone installed more RAM, the system became very unstable and he had to 'downgrade'.

Can you please let me know who the troll is, so I can try to kick them from this thread. Thank-you.

It's you who's the troll, because you keep on arguing semantics on what's an upgrade and what's not, instead of discussing actual good/bad upgrade investments.

I only answer the questions people ask me, and answer back to the people that disagree with me. How is that trolling?

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be anyone here who actually wants to talk about their upgrades. So far only a couple of people have shared anything.

This is a great example of what I wanted from this thread. Thank-you.

Upgraded from 4gb to 8gb of RAM. Huge difference and RAM is so cheap now days, who wouldn't upgrade?

Agree less than $45 can get you 8gb ram delivered to any where in the world with fast shipping. 🙂

So making your MBP stronger, rigid, more aesthetically-appealing and robust is not an upgrade? Tell that to the person dropped his MBP from 150 ft - it survived without a scratch.

Unluckily, there was a pitchfork sticking up out of the haystack...

I have no idea what you're doing.

I guess you don't get the joke, an old Vaudeville routine. It is in reference to the Mac being dropped from 150 ft and surviving without a scratch.

Did you hear about poor Sam?

He fell out of an airplane.

Luckily he had a parachute on.

Unluckily the parachute failed to open.

Luckily there was a haystack in the field below.

Unluckily there was a pitchfork sticking up out of the haystack.

Luckily he missed the pitchfork.

Unluckily he missed the haystack.

Poor Sam.

I "upgraded" my MBP with the ShaggyMac, one of my fav accessories. That and SSD.

to me and its my opinion its a downgrade to go from a 500gb hd to a 60-480gb ssd cause of price per gig is bad to the hd price per gig until the prices of hd and the price of ssd match its crazy for me to do that
