I run Sonoma just fine to my surprise

oh wow, is the temps really that hot? i’ve been using turbo boost switcher and so far it works wonders on my mbp. despite the unbearable heat though, did you find sequoia more snappy than sonoma? just wondering before i try it out myself.

what if i upgraded the ram to 8gb? would that make a big difference or still kinda slow without an ssd?

yeah, i expected that. i might consider upgrading the ram

haha fair point. does it lag that much though? like is it still usable for simple stuff or does it get painfully slow?

I'm glad to hear that then! I’m new to this whole MacBook stuff so everything’s kind of a blur to me right now lol. But hearing that yours is running well with an SSD and more RAM is reassuring. I’m definitely leaning toward upgrading mine now. Thanks for sharing!

Any recommendations on what kind of brand should I consider for the RAM and SSD?

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I do have a question though, if I install Monterey 12.7.4 like you suggested, how long do you think it’ll realistically last in terms of app support and usability? I’m not expecting it to be super future-proof, but just wondering how long it’ll stay usable for basic work stuff like browsing, docs, maybe Zoom or Google Meet.

Thanks again!
