    I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago to go in my Macbook Pro.

    It's quick

    Edit: and only £360 now. It was about £380 a couple of weeks ago

          A little under powered for really serious invoicing.
          Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

            Realistically, I reckon 16GB RAM and 2x SSD in RAID is the way forward.......oh, and an i7

            Add in at least a GTX NVidia card, too

              Thanks to all who posted on this thread.

              Cheers,

              did you do all the SSD tuning to make sure it doesn't write to the disk as much, not such a problem nowadays but it can stop it responding occasionally.

                My invoicing laptop is this

                ASUS N56, N56VB-S4041H, ASUS N56VB-S4041H

                With a Samsung 1TB SSD upgrade.

                      That's what I have in my laptop. What about an office PC?
