[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 180323, member: 13556"] You can get a small SSD to install your OS on, which will make logging in/turning on very speedy. Barb has spelled it all out very well; in fact, her advice parallels my plans to upgrade my primary photo processing machine almost exactly. A general rule is to first upgrade your RAM to the highest recommended for your machine; when you do, buy quality RAM, not the cheapest you can find. And buy from reputable dealers that offer full return policies. Although they are getting somewhat harder to find, the MacBook Pros w/o Retina are still around, and are sometimes found at discounts. Try the Apple Store onlline to see what they have that may fit your budget. I use a 13-inch MacBook Pro for portability, and plan to purchase a 27-inch Apple to use at home. I've used this configuration before and it is mind-boggling in both sight and speed. [/QUOTE]
