No Reason not to, I'd also talk to them about upping the ram to at least 8 if not 16 and also put an SSD in to it and see a major performance change.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Lamanche Sent: Tuesday, 3 January 2017 7:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Macbook pro 2012 running slow Listers, I'd like to ask your advise. A friend of mine has a 2012 macbook pro with 4GB RAM, 2.4 GHZ processor and non-solid 500GB drive. It seem to run rather frustratingly slowly. It regularly freezes and generally applications take a long time to open. Do you think it would be worth while to do a clean install of Sierra on it? I'd appreciate any comments here. I understand that rotating hard drives take a bit longer but it is after all 2.4 GHZ and they don't even use Voiceover. I know it's slightly of topic, but I would be doing their clean install using Voiceover in the process. Andrew -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
