Video Description
My editing computer Which I built from spare parts and pieces years ago was getting pretty sluggish and having trouble keeping up with modern software with the hardware it had. It is a late 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro. I upgrade the HDD to an SSD in this video, and even with the 8 GB of RAM there is still a dramatic improvement in performance. I can't wait until my memory upgrade comes in. I ordered 16 GB of RAM to do the upgrade to the memory. It should make this computer very usable for modern software. You can pick these computers up from Ebay for pretty cheap, and they are easily upgradable.
