Apple Macbook Pro 2012 Vs 2015

My 2012 MacBook Pro is now new again.

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

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.

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

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

perfect for my 2012 MacBook Pro! Works great so far and reasonably priced.

Coming from a 2015 MacBook Air, the performance was the first noticeable improvement. Working with a visualization software on my Macbook Air would being speed to a crawl. With my new MacBook Pro, speed seems to be a given thing and the true power is when I have to run a few heavy resource software. This small laptop can go the distance, that's for sure. Buying from B&H was a delight. I have not done so for a while, but they really dialled in the option selection so I was able to find the best machine for my budget. I was so happy with my purchase that I bought a second Macbook Pro for my wife a week later!
