Hi All! Currently I’ve got a 13” MacBook Pro retina early 2015 3.1 GHz i7 with 16GB DDR3 I’m running a fairly busy home studio and today my Mac died on me, I know it’s an easy fix (ribbon cable replacement), however it made me realize I need a spare… If I were to get an older Mac and fit SSD/upgrade RAM, which would be the recommended year and spec, so I could improve to the maximum? Advice welcome!!! Thanks! Phil
