My MBP has served me well, its late 2008 15" Unibody, running 10.10.5, i upgraded the RAM a while ago to 8GB

nowadays, when playing Youtube 1080p, the CPU usage goes up really high, the fans go crazy and the video starts lagging and pausing

I was thinking of getting a more modern refurb, like this https://www.apple.com/ie/shop/produ...-22ghz-quad-core-intel-i7-with-retina-display

Would this eliminate my problems or is it a software issue? many thanks
