[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1810336, member: 56379"] Given the results/symptoms that would also be my initial conclusion. But to be sure...I would backup everything on an external device (as it sounds like you may be doing). Then erase the internal drive...and do a fresh install of the OS. Then see if things are still sluggish. Hey...where are you getting that great SSD deal from??...I want one! Lol Yes...if you replace the old "spinner" internal HD...the SSD will make the computer feel faster. As far as RAM. I'm thinking sticking with the 8gig of RAM for now should be fine. If you find you need 16gig later...you can upgrade then. I'm not seeing anything really very special in that info. Just a lot of normal device info.:) I think this mainly depends on what you need it to do...and if it feels too slow for your needs when doing those things. I use an early 2011 MacBook Pro pretty frequently...and it does most things pretty well (email, internet browsing, music, movies/video, some online gaming, MS Office stuff, etc.).:) HTH, - Nick p.s. Also...thread was moved to better area...and please...only need to post in one subject area. Thanks.:) [/QUOTE]
