i have the same laptop only i upgraded mine,
16GB ram
128GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
removed cd rome and placed the 1TB hard disk there.
using an external wifi card.
I'm running os x 10.9 for the past month or so.
using mainly Graphic Applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and some video editing (Premiere,After Effect) and Appeture.
its running smoothly on the HD4000 though i would really like to get the ATI to work, the system recognises it but i can't really use it.
it has 2GB DDR5 which will benefit me a lot when i run complex stuff.
any one has a solution? i don't care about battery life since when ever i use it I'm connected to an outlet and if i would realy
want good power consumption i would just dual boot to win 8.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You!
