So, I went back to OWC and felt good about being able to repair mine based on the research I found. After searching the web, I found an article where the Hard Drive cable in the 2012 MacBooks were faulty. Called OWC and after talking to Darren B, he overnighted a new SSD, however when I installed new drive it didn't show up either under Disk Utility. I knew it couldn't find the hard drive so I booted into recovery mode and when I went into the Disk Utility there was no drive showing. Had to perform a hard shutdown and when I restarted it I got a folder with a flashing question mark.

On 3/2020, my MacBook Pro froze and completely locked up. The 2nd drive, which was a replacement, I had received in 9/2019. My MacBook Pro - 13" mid 2012 has gone through a couple of SSD's from OWC during the last couple of years and they have provided excellent customer service replacing the drive with a new one (overnight).

there's no telling how long software support will last, but if you don't mind selling it if the support gets dropped then i'd say it's a nice device if you want to play around with macOS.Verified Buyer Reviewer: Dawalk Location: Prescott Valley, AZ Age: Over 65 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 4/5 Apple Hard Drive Cable for mid 2012 MacBook Pro MaFirst I want to THANK everyone who wrote a review on this product! It's available on the cheap now, if you want macOS it's still a good machine to buy in my opinion. but, in general it's still a nice machine. 1280x800 is waaay too cramped to do anything. an adblocker is a must on most websites which is annoying, since i believe in supporting creators but 100% cpu and the fan ramping up everytime i load a site is unacceptable.Īlso the screen scaling is a must. This device is still perfectly usable, if you adjust your expectations.

i used to run a Windows VM for some applications and performance was acceptable in general, but when the Windows VM would update without me asking it to (ugh windows) it would really slow down. some sites like the LTT forum are totally fine, but other sites with really obnoxious ads take forever to load and pin the cpu to 100%.Īnother thing that's sorta slow is VM's. The one thing that really hits this aging dualcore really hard is web browsing without an adblocker.

i can watch 1080p 60fps youtube video's no problem, editing 1080p video in iMovie is totally fine, although rendering is a little slow. the trackpad especially is amazing and it's better than any Windows laptop i've ever owned. The keyboard and trackpad are simply amazing. The display is still usable, but only when scaled to a higher resolution. It's especially noticable trying to multitask. Here are some screenshots comparing 1280x800 to 1680x1050 and then you know what i mean. the downside of this is that it makes text and other things slightly blurry, but text is still readable. there are various apps available to scale the screen, which makes it a lot more usable. The all metal chassis still looks premium and i personally don't mind the bezels at all. i have a case on my Mac but my point still stands) I personally believe the 2012 MacBooks still look great, despite the original design coming out in like 2008. i also replaced the thermal paste to help with thermals. I upgraded mine to 16GB of Ram and a 500GB SSD. It's very user-upgradable and it's generally a very reliable machine. The 13" Non-Retina MacBook Pro is the last "great" 13" MacBook Pro. Can you use an 8 year old laptop in 2020? Today i'll hopefully be answering that question.
