i use a Macbook for DJing and photo editing, its been through hell and back over 5 years and still working, bars full of drunk people, venues that are hot with spilled drinks etc, my 10 year old unibody is still also working with no issue, although i dont use it due to having a none retina screen so its just a spare at present to cover if the other one goes down. Im actually a Windows user primarily, and also Android whilst im at work (i have a phone and also i configure Android warehouse devices as part of my job). Have a search online for the RAM that's compatible with your MacBook Pro, like these here. Get the highest speed (measured in megahertz, MHz) possible. Not all RAM is created equally В though it may be the same size, the speed at which it delivers the information depends on the frequency it runs at.ДЄ higher frequency usually means it'll run faster and you'll be able to use your editing apps more smoothly. The capacity of the RAM, whether 8 GB, 16 GB, or more,В determines how much information it can hold at one time. There are two aspects you should look for when upgrading your RAM: size and speed. It's on small sticks of circuit board with a few silicone chips and is actually easier to replace than the simple steps it takes to swap the hard drive because the RAM holding plates allow them to pop in and out with no tools. RAM, your computer's short-term memory, works by storing temporary information when you're using the computer.

Get the Fastest RAM PossibleДЄ larger capacity and faster running speed of your RAM will help software performance when under load. I've noticed it even makes browsing the internet faster. I also timed how long it took to restart:В only 30 seconds! I don't have issues with slow software now either editing photos and even videos is a breeze. The boot time is ridiculous now, about 10 seconds compared to a minute and a half (I could go and get a cup of tea before).

I bought the Western Digital Blue 3D NAND 2.5' SATA SSD,В and it's been running happily in my MacBook Pro 2012 ever since. This stops static electricity from shorting out any vital components and wrecking your laptop.

The process was simple and there are plenty of guides on how to do it online, but the big tip I recommend is using an anti-static sheet when doing the swap. I bought oneВ and made a straight swap by unscrewing the bottom panel of the laptop and unclipping a few pieces. The benefit of running an SSD over an HDD is that there are no moving parts, and the speed benefits are enormous. I switched out the old hard disk drive, which runs on old metal, spinning discs, and popped in a brand new solid state drive.

This is by far and away from the best upgrade I made to my MBP. Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no moving parts, and the read/write speeds are incredibly fast compared with old mechanical hard disk drives.
