Apple Macbook Pro 15.4 Laptop June 2012

I upgraded from 2012 15.4 MacBook Pro, which still runs well but I needed the latest for my consulting project. This laptop is beastly in its speed and processing power. Display is superb and the battery life is 20+ hours every single time. I look forward to carrying this laptop without power cord when I am at clients' site or on the road. I am a management consult and hence usually use office productivity apps but I will need some serious processing power for database and BI apps like PowerBI and Tableaux. I think I have 10 times the processing power I will need. The price is high but in terms of value, it's going to be as good as 2012 MacBook Pro, which still is very good, after 11 years! So, this is a steal for those who are looking for the state of the art technology and the best long-term value!

My 2012 MacBook Pro is now new again.

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.

I use it with my 2012 MacBook Pro. No complaints.

I use it for my Apple MacBook Pro laptop. The laptop fits well. Durable product.

My 2012 MacBook Pro came back to life with this gem.

This worked well in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13.
