I know lots of folks who've added RAM and who've swapped out the spinning drive for an SSD. Maybe it's more of a "power user" thing, but here you are on Hacker

- kamjam 14y agoThis. And all the other same replies below. My manager just "upgraded" his old Mac by installing an SSD and gave it to his wife to use. Said it prolonged the life for another few years. I just upgraded RAM and HDD -> SSD on a friends computer. He had no clue what I was doing, but his computer ran "better than new". All he does it surf the web, use Outlook for email, write Word/Excel docs. Extended life for another few years for him. He certainly doesn't need a new computer (which is was about to go buy). If users themselves can't or don't know how to upgrade, they may well know someone who can. Or some small local indie shop who has the skills.
