My 2012 MacBook Pro was running super slow so I rang Apple and they told me that with newer and larger programs, laptops tend to do that after a while and I should just buy a new one.Instead, I did some research and decided to install a new internal HD. I rang a local store and they said they could install a 250gb SSD (solid state drive) for $550(AUD). I looked up a how to video and decided to install it myself.Took all of 5minutes to physical stuff and then another few hours to re-install my back up and it runs as fast as new.New MacBook Pro (in Aus) >$2400Total cost - Samsung 850 Evo 500gb (SSD) (about a midrange product from what I could deduce) - $260 -Screw driver sets $30 via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2sWn6Lj
