I recently "inherited" my father's old white Macbook (non unibody) when he got a Thinkpad. It's the last one that's still upgradeable to 10.11 since it has the Nvidia 9400 graphics in it. It's a Core 2 Duo @ 2.0Ghz. MB881LL/A Early 2009 is the designator.
Is it worth upgrading to a SSD, maxing out the memory, and replacing the battery (all of those should cost me around $100)? Or is it too old to be "useful" ? It's in pretty good condition all things considered since I remember a lot of those keyboards would crack at the palm rests. I put 10.11 on it, but it seems to take forever to load and is laggy. Would a SSD help that or is the macbook just too old?
