    Thanks guys.

    My complaint with the wife's 13" MacBook Pro it is slower than the other computers in the house. Limited storage as well, but the main complaint is that it is slow when processing and viewing files in Bridge and LR.

    It is almost 4 years old, I think we bought it early 09. I wonder if I upgraded (if it can be) to a SSD if it would solve the problem.

    Bring up the Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities) when you perform tasks where it is slow. That gives you an idea if it is the processor or RAM that slows things down. If not, then a faster drive should help. Once you're at it, you might be able to put in more RAM as well if you are not already at the maximum
