[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1627748"] Is it really worth pouring all this money into when a 2012 MBP with far more expansion and built-in capability can be bought for maybe $600? Yes, the SSD would make that machine perform better than new, but think about this: by the time you're done upgrading this thing, you'll have spent more than half the cost of a brand-spankin'-new MBP, and still won't have: *decent graphics *802.11n or ac *Bluetooth 4.0 *16GB RAM capacity *All-day battery *Future compatibility or expansion options [/QUOTE]
