#BEST SSD FOR MACBOOK PRO LATE 2011 UPGRADE#
You can upgrade to a 1 TB SSD and 16 GB of RAM for ~$320 ($199 for the SSD and $120 for the RAM), and the performance difference will be huge. If you're going to upgrade, I'd recommend buying from Other World Computing since they specialize in Mac upgrades and can guarantee compatibility. I had this exact machine and went through the same debate – should I upgrade to an SSD and more RAM, or just move to a new machine?

I know it's better to upgrade SSD first before RAM.I'm not really verse with hardware, and since upgrades are very pricey, I kinda need some assurance that my choices are sustainable and the right ones. For now, I'm stuck with my current 2.3GHz MacBook Pro. So, I was considering in using my savings to upgrade my MacBook's RAM and SSD until I raise enough budget to purchase a newer MacBook Pro with a better CPU and better capacity for upgrades(probably in about 5-7 months). I run memory and CPU intensive applications, especially with virtual machines and programming applications, and my MacBook just couldn't these heavy apps (deadly beach ball icon). I'm a graduating Computer Science student using a MacBook Pro early 2011, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, RAM of 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, and running at OSX Yosemite(10.10.2).
