Wrong, they still sell the mac book pro 13inch with standard hd and optical drive,
Specs haven’t changed in a few years but it is still on their site.

It’s all solid state now and everyone is absolutely right, this will make the most difference for you. SSD drives are over 40 times faster than their rotating counterparts.

A solid state drive though is the most game changing. Think towards the future though--a little more investment might mean an extra year or two considering how long Apple hardware holds up.

Your biggest enhancement will come if you can switch to a solid state drive, which will make app launching, opening new windows, loading files, and other tasks a great deal faster. If I could only pick one, it would depend on what I was planning to do. Run Windows virtually: ram. Encode videos: CPU. Do a *lot* at once: ram. get smoother overall performance: CPU. If possible, upgrade to 8GB of ram, then get the best processor you can with your budget. You can get away with 4GB of ram, but nowadays I don't recommend it.

I currently have a 2010 15 inch Macbook pro, 500 GB HD, cor i7 processor. Basically, when I got it, I customized it with the max customizations that Apple had at the time. I bought it around March, or April 2010, when ever this particular Mac came out. it has served me very well, but is slowing down, and the battery isn’t lasting. Apple will not repair, or replace any parts. I’m currently looking at either the 2015 MBP 13 inch, or 2015 MBA 13 inch. My two questions are, which of these two would better handle Voiceover? Second question, if you could only pick one, would you upgrade the RAM or CPU? -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
