Firstly there is no removable panel above the power cable, and secondly a RAM supplier said it isn't possible. That's a bummer, because it is possible on 27", which I know dosn't help you.

The new ones allow upgraded memory. I have just ordered a new machine and will get a trade-in sum for my existing kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local company should be able to clear your disk to 'military grade' for about £50 before you sell. Or bugger the hastle and take Apples 30% of value offer.

Peter Kilmister Posted October 3, 2019 Share #24 Posted October 3, 2019 I just had a look at completed deals on eBay. Prices aren't much more than Apple's trade in deal. eBay takes a share, Paypal takes another share. Cleaning the hard drive, postage and insurance take another share. I can't be bothered. 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to replace hard drives on MS laptops. In fact, having worked with computers since 1967, I am happy to fiddle about with the ones I know. Nearly 3 years ago I bought an iMac as I need a big screen with great graphics. I love the simplicity but I have no idea with this beast as to where the memory is located and how to add more. I am sure there is loads on YouTube so give me a while and I can fix it. One thing I do know is that SSDs have a habit of failing with no warning. Yes, they are very quick but when they die there is no recovery. Yes, I have backup on a daily basis to a Network Storage System, so maybe an SSD might be an option. All the same, the programs are the cause of the problem. When I bought Leica products they came with Adobe proprietary licences. That has now changed. 2 month's trial is a poor replacement. Since 2013 it is no longer possible to fiddle with Macbooks. Everything is soldered in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get my early 2013 MacBook Pro repaired so shelled out some of my work bonus for a new one recently The old one has gone to a teenage friend who is delighted with it even through the sound has gone, the battery life is short, and there's a white bloom on the display. Performance seems similar between my new 2019 max spec MBP and the old one when using Lightroom Classic CC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted October 4, 2019 Share #27 Posted October 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) LR classic required three to four things to run smoothly : - many RAM : 24MB at least 32MB is best - catalog and previews must be store in fast SSD. Photos can be store on USB 3 spin hard drives. FYI LR is not NAS compatible - fast compatible discrete graphic card Bonus : use smart previews.

jaapv Posted October 5, 2019 Share #28 Posted October 5, 2019 16 RAM is sufficient, provided you have a reasonably fast scratch disk. It runs well with me in that configuration on my MacBook Air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
