Hello Everyone,
I am currently using a 15 inch, late 2008 MacBook Pro with 2.53 GHz intel core 2 duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, and 320 GB SATA Disk. It is starting to slow down quite a bit and I am thinking of upgrading the memory and hard drive. I'm currently a professional student living on loans, so I'm hoping I can extend the life of my computer awhile longer instead of buying a new one. From what I have read online I believe I can go up to 8GB of DDR3 and it seems like my best option on hard drives is an SSD (I think I only need ~250GB). I would really appreciate it if y'all could give me some recommendations on products that are reliable and also some advice on actually switching out the memory and drive. I'm hoping to find some deals as the holiday season starts, but I don't have a ton of time to research products because I have finals in about a week and a half. Thanks again for taking the time to help me out!
