Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 -> original, but I think can go up to 8GB?īattery performance seems ok, I mostly use this plugged-in though. Aside from the speed issue I'm still pretty happy with it. While money isn't a huge issue, I wouldn't mind saving a bit for now and keeping this one around.
However, my parents have my "old" MacBook (2006ish) which is still going pretty strong, if slow, which makes me think that this thing could stick around for a while longer. My boyfriend (with whom I'd be splitting a new laptop) seems to think that upgrading a 6-year-old laptop isn't worth the effort, so we should just buy a new one.
WHAT IS THE MAX OS X UPGRADE ON MID 2009 MACBOOK PRO PC
In addition to this laptop, in our household we also have a desktop PC and I have two Dell laptops for work, so outside of my personal files this laptop isn't really that necessary.
For what I use my computer for (email, web browsing, word processing, photo storage & editing in iPhoto), I don't know if paying the premium for a Mac is really worth it despite having Macs since I was 10 years old. As a note, if I were to get a new laptop, it likely would not be an Apple product. However, it is super slow, and I'm wondering the merits of trying to upgrade the RAM (and possibly switch to a solid-state drive) vs. I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro, that in general works fairly well. I apologize if this is a redundant question, but a lot of the threads I found were older so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
