John Voorhees' sweet Mac setup - The Sweet Setup

25 Jul 2014 • thesweetsetup.com

My Mac computing is split between an aging 2008 13-inch MacBook and a 2011 iMac. About a year ago I breathed new life into the MacBook with a replacement battery and a 240 GB SSD from Other World Computing. While it is amazing how much snappier the SSD made my MacBook, the battery life still leaves a lot to be desired.

I don’t understand why otherwise smart professionals with (I’m assuming) plenty of income would choose to use such outdated equipment [referring to the HDD Macbook]. I mean I’m not saying to upgrade just for upgrading’s sake - if you’re happy with what you’re using, stick with it… but if you have complaints… a new Macbook Pro Retina loaded is only a few thousand (tops).
