- Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro, 16GB, 1TB, OS 12.6.9
I have:
13" Mid 2012 MBP 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7.
750 GB HDD
8 GB RAM
Main uses:
Web browsing, PS CS6 light photo editing, Aperture editing, Logic Pro multitrack recording, some Final Cut video editing. I'm in a band, so I use it to take care of recording demos, making videos, website stuff.
The computer runs fine, but it's not quite as snappy as it was on the older OS versions. I was thinking about maxing the RAM to 16GB and putting a 750GB SSD in. This would cost, say, $270 at Crucial. Is this worthwhile, or will the 2.9 GHz i7 start to become a hinderance any time soon? Do you have any other recommendations for RAM and SSD sources?
