![]() ![]() I have replaced the keyboard only ONCE in that entire time. The 1TB HDD is still used as an in-machine Time Machine drive for Big Sur. I upgraded to 1TB SSD and a 1TB HDD and moved to APFS once Catalina came along using the HDD as an in-machine daily clone backup drive (used SuperDuper until Big Sur negated the ability to easily create a bootable clone). I upgraded the SSD to a larger one and rolled the SSD and HDD into a FUSION drive using the tools apple made available to anyone comfortable with the command line, which I ran with zero issues for several years. I swapped out the super drive (CD/DVD burner) for an SSD (initially a relatively small one to just hold the OS). I upgraded the HDD several times (started life as a 256MB HDD). This machine has a full compliment of ports with NO dongles needed! I upgraded the ram over time to its max 16GB. This machine was the last of the totally user repairable notebooks Apple made. Without question, a fine example of solid engineering. My daughter gave me this machine as a christmas present in late 2012. These Macs are still extremely popular as they still allow user upgradability, feature all of the ports, and have a user replaceable battery.I am among those still using a mid 2012 non-retina 15" MBP. The MD101LL/A and MD102LL/A mark the end of this generation of Macbook and were preceded by Apple’s patented “Retina Display” models. Check out all of those ports in the pictures below. It also supports resolutions as high as 2560×1600 and an audio signal. ![]() ![]() The Mac features a Thunderbolt standard port that supports a 20 Gbps bandwidth in both directions. This machine allows users to ability to customize its specifications up to 16GB RAM and any 2.5″ drive. This Macbook Pro was offered by Apple with 4GB RAM and a 500GB rotational hard drive but is able to be upgraded aftermarket. This Mac looks identical to its predecessor, but Apple upgraded this Mac to USB 3.0. The MD101LL/A even has a CD/DVD Drive if you’re feeling nostalgic. This Macbook Pro is perfect for those who want a repairable Macbook Pro that has a user-replaceable battery and components that don’t come soldered together. Some say 2012 13″ Mac is the best Macbook Pro ever offered and marked the end of the Steve Jobs Era. This Mac sold from 2012 until October 27th of 2016. This Macbook Pro is one of the most sold of all time. This 13-inch MD101LL/A was released on June 11th, 2012. ![]() The classic 2012 Macbook Pro 13″ 2.5GHz i5 has always been a popular choice for Apple Macbook Pro 13 inch buyers. ![]()
