Time to upgrade to a new development laptop. I'm trying to maximize performance which will include multiple virtual machines and android development.
I believe there are 3 issues that will directly affect performance.
1) processor - power & number of cores
2) RAM - amount of
3) Hard drive - SSD vs SATA
Assuming the processor is the same, would I see a better increase in performance with
a) 16 GB of RAM but a SATA drive OR
b) 8 GB of RAM but SSD drive
Which one typically would have a greater influence on performance?
