Hey everyone, nice to meet you. Just bought the basic 15" 2.4ghz i5 MBP. Was wondering if I could upgrade my hard drive and memory. Do you have any suggestions? Sorry if this has been asked a million times, which I'm sure it has. 🙁
 
First of all, why do you feel the need to upgrade your RAM/Hard drive space?

google: Other World Computing

i hear theyre RAM is pretty affordable. Ill be going to 8GB soon.
 
I plan on editing videos, photos, music so I'm much more interested in finding a faster hard drive but I have money to spend so I'd like to buy ram as well.

have a look here at NewEgg for RAM - 8GB is on special for about $100 at the moment.

hard drives are cheap these days.

if you feel the need to upgrade then do so, though im not sure that you will need it 🙂

Great post, I agree completely.

Sage advice for the OP.

Cheers... 🙂
