So, I was thinking of upping the memory to 8GB (cost around £80) and installing a 250GB SSD (cost around £68). The system is paging in and out at times and showing the spinning beach ball too but I mostly notice a perceptible lagging in response when I am opening apps, larger documents or re-booting the system. I don't burn DVDs and only rarely burn CDs but this optical drive comes in handy for installing certain software and loading audio CDs to my optical-drive-free iMac. I also find it handy that this computer has an optical drive. I use this computer for travels or when I am doing a few tasks in front of the TV, away from my desk. I'd like it to be a bit more nimble - enough for MS Office work and simple browsing as the portable extension of my digital life which routinely exists on my much more powerful home office iMac. This machine is getting slow running El Capitan and I'm not surprised at that - it is old after all. I have an old MacBook Pro 2009 2.26GHz with 4GB memory and a 160GB hard disk.
