Hi,
i have a decision to make, and really need some help.
i currently have own:
-early 2011 unibody 13"
- 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 (Does this have a turbo boost?)
- 16gb ram (crucial)
- 750 GB harddrive (NON SSD)
i really want to upgrade my 750gb normal harddrive to a 1TB SSD. I also really want to remove my cd drive, and put in for now a normal 1TB 5400rpm harddrive, then when i get some cash maybe upgrade that also to a SSD.
I was about to do this, when i suddenly thought, that maybe i was making a mistake. The newer unibody model, has a faster processor, 2.9GHz dual core, with 3.6 GHz turbo boost.
Is it silly to upgrade my existing laptop, taking all the time & trouble to upgrade to SSD, and be left with the slower processor speed? How much faster s the 2.9ghz, over the 2.7GHz in reality?
I know i can get even faster with the other newer models, with retina, but i really wanted to have the second harddrive space.
I can sell mine, but there is still a large price difference with selling and buying, or just upgrading
How much will i notice the processor speed?
please please help
