I upgraded the ram on my MacBook Pro today. I needed the extra speed for various applications, but mostly to be able to run the network without issue when away on trips etc.
I’m amazed at how fast laptops have become. To put things in perspective, in 2009 I bought a Mac Pro, loaded it with ram and it became my every day system for video editing, photoshopping, what have you. Geekbench wise, it registered a 11178 for the score. That’s pretty quick, for 2009.
Fast forward to right now.. I just changed out the ram on my laptop as I said. It’s the current MacBook Pro, 15”, 2.0 GHz. yes there are faster models but I don’t need the faster to be honest, this has a quad processor i7 which is more then quick enough for me. The speed between this and a 2.6 for example, barely noticeable and you pay a ton more. If you’re going to upgrade, upgrade your hard drive to SSD (check) and then your ram (check).

I ran Geekbench to see where it’s at.. 9749! Holy shit. This is a LAPTOP and it’s almost as fast as a dual xeon processor, 8 core Mac Pro (from 2008 mind you, but still).

Shit is getting fast! This will make it so much easier to be on the road and still be able to move Bella to the next level.
Yes, this blog was somewhat pointless.. but I was surprised how quick the score was. Thus, I blogged it. Hey, fuck you. it’s my blog. :p
