iMore Question
I am looking at purchasing the following laptop:
13 " MacBook Pro
? 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
? 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM ? 2x2GB
? 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
? SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RW)
? Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
? Accessory Kit
I am switching from my 12 year old Dell with Windows XP. My Dell is OK for my needs (word processing, photo editing/storage, general internet search). It has on 2 GB RAM.
Question is will I be OK with 4GB Ram on the Mac? Everyone tells me upgrade to 8 but I would already be doubling what I currently have.... Price, of course, is a consideration as I will have to purchase new Mac Software as well.
I assume my printers, wireless internet, etc. will be compatible......
