Hey everyone - first time posting on Mac Forums.
I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro that I was almost sure was a lost cause... Started looking into buying a new Macbook or iMac but phew... Gonna be a while before I can drop a couple grand on a new one.
My Macbook runs great other than the fact that it's soooo slow. I'm a graphic designer and need to be able to run Adobe apps as quickly/smoothly as possible. Keeping that in mind... I have no experience with upgrading memory so I'm looking for suggestions.
I currently only have 4GB RAM... Looking at my Activity Monitor, I'm almost always running at 3.5GB+ (sometimes almost 4GB). Ran an EtreCheck and resolved most of the issues it found, but still am almost maxed out on RAM.
Now question is... Where/what do I need to buy? Lol, so inexperienced with this. I'm looking on MacSales.com at the 16GB memory. Does that seem worth it or overkill? And is MacSales a reputable company? Open to any suggestions anyone might have - thanks in advance!
