[QUOTE="krs, post: 1835007, member: 67742"] Your MacBook should be able to handle the tasks you describe so far without any problems. The trick is trying to figure out what causes the issues - with the facebook live stream it could be the Masc, the internet connection or the website itself, just looking at big chunks. I would test the Mac separately first without any connection to the net. Maybe members here can recommend one of the many general Mac tests available - I have never used any other than running Disk Utility Maybe run Onyx (which I only used once) In any case - my message is - unless you do a large amount of HD video editing and need those tasks to be completed quickly, you should be fine with the Mac you have. I usually get a new Mac because there is some software incompatibility and the Mac I have can't run the software I need to run - I have never upgraded because the Mac was too slow or struggling. Whenever I have run into a "slow Mac" issue, it was some app gobbling CPU cycles or once I ended up with an application that generated huge amounts of log files that I ran out of hard disk space.
