    Guys work in digital marketing, need an upgrade on my old MacBook Pro
    Need some advice,
    What should I be looking at 8gig or 16gig?
    256 would but 500 hard drive would be great
    Is there much difference between i5 and i7???

    Only want to spend around 800 and again it's second hand I'm looking for

    Well if it's between the i5 and the i7 then it really depend on what exactly you're using it for. What programs are you planning on using, OP?

    Hi Dan

    Have you considered maxing the ram in your current machine and throwing a 240gb SSD in there, makes the world of difference.

    You're lucky. When I do that at work, I get given out to.










    You should definitely give consideration to what Nialler said above.
