Hello,
I've got a Macbook pro 2012, I use it everyday mostly to edit videos on. Recently its been really struggling to run projects, I've done everything in the software to speedup projects, deleted unnecessary apps, cleaned my hard drive...I've done it all but It still runs pretty slowly. Before I go and splash out on a new mac I was wondering if there's anything I can do to speed it up and keep it running for a few years?
It seems like its max out on specs and Its telling me I've got an SSD hard drive. I was wondering if replacing the hard drive with a new one would help and replacing the RAM too? How long are they meant to last? I also don't want to buy a new SSD/RAM for it to only be a little bit faster, I need this thing to speed through projects. I get theres only so much speeding up of an old machine that can be done, will I just be wasting money by upgrading the hard drive and RAM? I'd rather just use the money to buy a new mac if its not going to make much of a difference.
Specs
2.8 GHx intel Core i7 processor
16 GB ram
1 TB internal storage (APPLE SSD SM1024F)
Thanks in advance for the help!
