2012 Apple 21.5 Refurbished Computer

Excellent RAM for the 2012 21.5 iMac. Increased my RAM from 12 GB to 20 GB and works like a charm. All my software are functioning more smoothly and increasing my productivity.

was about to purchase the same computer through apple but got a better deal with B&H. Used to have a 2012 Mac Book. I was able to upgrade the ram and it lasted 8 years. Now apple is taking away this option. That, along with a few other features, has me preferring the older computer but the OS wasnt able to handle some of the programs I was running.

this computer is fast and its apple... what more can I say.

Faster than my 2012 macbook. A good computer, i can finally serve the internet now!

- i use it for a macbook pro 15 2012 model - it was easy to register it on apple's website

EXCELLENT CHOICE for any Apple computer.

I installed this into a MacBook from 2012. The speed of my computer has increased a lot, it feels like a new machine now.

I installed this SSD in a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" version 9,2 model. Wow! I became a big fan of SSD drives with my new iMac and the MacBook was looking so pokey in comparison. Now my MacBook has new life, amazingly faster performance. It's the best speed upgrade I have ever experienced with a product. I'm running High Sierra on this book with no glitches. Has 16 gb ram. I highly recommend this especially because new Macbooks are so pricey and Apple has taken away ports I use in the new models, such as Ethernet, DVD drive, Firewire. It's a new machine again. Just be aware you will want to partition the drive with the new Apple APFS as it will not work with GUID. I then migrated my software with Apple migration assistant with only minor glitches to some software icons. Those I fixed by booting in safe mode, then back to normal mode.

Loved my 2012 MacBook Pro, I really stressed over a replacement - initially ordered 2018 MB Air from B&H which arrived damaged and did re-think. It did feel like a hasty compromise when I ordered the MBA. I thought about how I used my 2012 MBP - mostly in one location and plugged into an outlet. The intrigue of the Mac Mini bit and stuck. I wanted BT 5.0 and that wasn't MADE available by Apple at the time. I liked the specs 3.0 chip, 256 GB etc and paired with Apple keyboard and mouse due to review complaints about connectivity with both devices. If there was an issue I would deliver all to the local Apple store and they could sort it out. I was really perplexed by Apple butterfly keyboard mechanism issues on their labtop line and their 4 year extended keyboard warranty from product introduction will roll around quickly. So Mac Mini with it's compromises (quiet speaker volume, no FaceTime camera or microphone) was decided and the last hurdle was finding a smaller display so I did not accidently knock it over. There are essentially 2 decent quality 14-16

I bought this to replace my 2012 that I never had problems with. MacBook Pro is the only Apple product that I own. I don't even like iPhones, but I like my MacBook Pro. My usually bought Dell laptops, but after 2 years they start to fail. My 2012 lasted 8 years and it just started to freeze. I suspect it's the hard drive, so I plan on repairing it and keeping it as a backup. But I figured it was time to buy a new laptop so I wanted to give the M1 a try. So far so good and I'm really happy with it.
