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.
2012 macbook pro 32gb ram 1080p#
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.
