#WHAT IS A USED 2012 MACBOOK PRO WORTH PRO#

If you're not enamored with retina display, I would suggest trying to find a cheap second hand 2017 MacBook Air, the old non-retina one with the old scissors keyboard. Basically, it's getting long in the tooth so I'm probably going to replace it next year when hopefully new MacBook Pros without the butterfly keyboard will come out.įor your needs, 8GB ram is enough and 16GB ram will be overkill and drain your battery faster. In addition, these days I have another hardware issue in which sometimes when I move the lid or close it and open it back up, my Mac will freeze up or the screen will go dark, so I have to power off and on. It still works fine for what you described, but I've had to replace a dead hard drive cable twice over the years.

#WHAT IS A USED 2012 MACBOOK PRO WORTH PRO#

I have a non-retina 2012 MacBook Pro that has been upgraded to 8GB ram and 250 GB SSD.

My concerns are, like others mentioned earlier, that it is rather old. However, it probably won't be able to be upgraded to future macOS beyond Catalina, and your mileage will vary when it comes to whether the hardware will hold up for another few years. If you are on a small budget, and only will be using it for casual and basic office work, then it can work out. *i'm aware late 2013 is better, considering batteries are easier to replace and all but thats going for roughly 700-750 USD, not sure if its worth the extra cash up front. Also, i'm not really a power user, casual use and some work related use, no video/photo editing related tasks. I was leaning towards 16GB RAM since its not upgradable on either of the two, cause was concerned 8GB may not be enough in 2-3 years. its going for about 440 USD after some negotiating, what do you all think.īattery is at around 200 life cycles but says service battery, same aesthetics damage roughly, and around 350USD The battery however will most likely need a replacement. Overall condition is pretty good, minor dent/scratches here and there. Looking to buy this macbook pro just wanted to know if its worth it

All help, advice and recommendations appreciated.
