I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro with 4gb of ram, and I upgraded to Yosemite. It’s
running a little slow, but not unusable.
I have also reordered a VarioUltra, so I have a similar question. But, I don’t
think I’ll have any major problems. I might upgrade, if I think that Braille
slows it down any further.
Good luck.
