Hello all, first post here. Figure I'd join since I have plans to build my own hackintosh in the future. Right now I own a Macbook pro, late 2011 model. I love it, but it's not as powerful as I'd like it to be. I'm looking to upgrade the ram to the max and replace the optical drive with an SSD in it's place. I'm using it for iOS development, but also use some heavier programs like Blender and the Adobe CS5 collection. I figure for now it'll be nice to have this laptop running pretty fast with plenty of power, least as much as I can upgrade before I invest in a hackintosh later on in the year. Has anyone done this? Pros/Cons? I'll be spending roughly $300 for this depending on the SSD size and such.
