A few months ago I convinced the GM to buy me a current-model i7 Macbook pro.
It's a real improvement over the G3 "Smurf" and Windows machine it replaced.
However, sometimes it seems slower than my last-generation i5 Mini at home, even though it's a faster, newer computer and we're supposed to have faster Internet in the office.
When I work, I usually hop around among a half-dozen applications and I theorize my home computer seems faster because it has 8 GB, while my office complier has only 4 GB.
I'm thinking about upgrading it to 16GB; will that make a big difference?
Anybody have any advice on what to look for, look out for in MBP memory?
