    Worth upgrading iMac to SSD?

    I have a late 2011 iMac, still on it's original HDD. I upgraded the RAM a few years ago, but in the last year my iMac has started running really slow. I haven't yet done a clean install (planning to this weekend) but I was wondering whether it would be worth upgrading the HDD to an SSD. Do you...

    Should I upgrade internals on my 2011 MBP?

    I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" that runs well but has been a bit slower than I want it to be. A few years ago, I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB when I started using Adobe software regularly. I still have the stock 320GB Hitachi HDD. Forgive me if I am not clear, I am not very well versed...

    Mac Pro 1,1 GPU upgrade

    So I just got a Mac Pro 1,1 in a trade for some stuff I don't need or want. I'm going to be upgrading my CPUs with a pair of x5355's (or maybe 5365's if I'm convinced its worth it) and I noticed the GPU is lackluster. Can anyone recommend a GPU upgrade for it? Something that will work good...

    Painfully slow late 2011 Macbook Pro - upgrade or move on?

    My late 2011 13" Macbook Pro takes 5 minutes to open a browser. It's the lower spec with 4GB / i5. I'm concerned that dropping 50% of the price of a new AIR to upgrade to usable isn't worth it. I'd be looking for this upgrade to give me another 4 years of 'light' use but importantly a computer...
