[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1812529, member: 135495"] I just changed from a 4GB 2013-similar issues to yours, nearly RAM'd out-to a 2015 with 8GB. Smoother! Faster processor too though. How tasked is your processor when the machine feels slow? How about the hard drive? SSD will help with boot and other stuff, but if your applications aren't using the disc so much you may not notice a big difference. For vendors, I like Crucial's System Scanner tool a lot! But in the end since yes a new machine is $$$$ I got a 2015 with more RAM, bigger SSD (so I can stuff a set of files I had offloaded) and i7 instead of i5. So far so good. I decided NOT to muck about with upgrading the older machine...but then I actually have 2 so selling them will more than offset the price of the 2015. [/QUOTE]
