Howdy everyone,

I'm thinking about buying this, http://www.microcenter.com/product/382948/Macbook_MC207LL-A_133_Laptop_Computer_Pre-Owned_-_White

It appears El Capitan supported, my plan is to upgrade to 4 or 8gb(once I confirm it can address 8gb) , SSD and an 802.11AC USB.

How well do these year Macbooks and OSX perform with those upgrades? My expectations are smooth HD video play back and instantaneous application opening and closing. I'll be using it for work most of which is accessed through a browser, I also intend to try the famed garage band. I don't intend to do anything locally taxing other than garage band.

I'm hoping it runs as well as upgrading a similar spec Windows 7 laptop to 10, 4gb ram and an SSD, which is quite fast.

Anyone with similar machine please chime in.
