Hi,
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I'm a junior in high school now, and I've decided to wait until college to buy a new computer altogether, but I want to upgrade my current machine so it'll last me until then.
As far as I know the only parts of a Macbook Pro you can upgrade/replace yourself are the hard drive, RAM, and disc drive. I'm thinking of just replacing the disc drive with an SSD, as I never really use disks.
My main question is, when is a good time to buy? I haven't really been following prices lately. The Christmas/New Year rush has come to an end, but some people have suggested to wait even a little bit more for the best deals. What should I do?
(If it's any help, I'm looking at getting a 240ish GB SSD, and 16GB of RAM)
Thank you for any opinions/suggestions/advice!
