Hi Helena/List,
For all the good intentions everyone who has responded to you, have had
- they are truly "not that useful"
So, before I get shot:
Yes, more memory, HD->SSD->NVMe does help a lot - but did Mac's have M.2
slots 7 years back? If yes, were they configured as NVMe or SATA?
Is "new"
As others have written it will depend on the tasks you are doing.
The performance of any computer can be significantly improved by
replacing HDDs with SSDs. Modern computers using the NVMe standards for
SSD (M.2 interface etc) can offer a great deal of speed improvement for
SSD storage over SA

Hi Helena,
I ise an old HP with 8GB RAM with Qgis.
But I think any answer should depends on the tasks you like to do with Qgis.
Create an atlas, use gdal to transorm etc.
Different tasks caused different workloads I guess.
For a lot of tasks I use a dynamic swap space (Linux) on a physical driv
