Overview

Description

The design is not the only thing that makes the MacBook Pro a MacBook Pro. Fastest mobile processors and up to a 60 percent boost in graphics performance endow you with incredible power to do more than ever. Faster than ever. The MacBook Pro is also loaded with powerful new features, such as blazing fast Thunderbolt I/O technology, FaceTime HD camera, Multi-Touch trackpad, 802.11n wireless technology, long lasting battery and more, making a great notebook even greater. The 13-inch MacBook Pro model features 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, the fastest mobile dual-core processor available. With Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6GHz, these processors bring more power to everything you do. And you can configure it to be even faster. The new integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor boosts performance by up to 60 percent. That extra power gives you a smoother, more fluid experience than before. It's still highly efficient, too, so you get long battery life when you're out and about. The Multi-Touch trackpad is the most natural way to interact with what's on your screen, and the smooth glass surface gives you plenty of room for gestures. Pinch to zoom in and out, swipe to flip through photos, rotate to adjust an image, and much more. The buttonless design lets you click anywhere. And if you're coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

Saw this preowned MacBook Pro Mid 2012 for $379. Was listed in specs as having a SSD 500gb hard drive but in fact did not. Looked at same sale sometime afterwards and price had been lowered to $329. Alas, price match adjustments do not apply to pre owned products: but still a great deal. Did buy a Samsung SSD drive, copied the original drive and installed: lots faster booting up and visiting items saved!! Would recommend to a friend...

Unfortunately when I it was communicated the MacBook was ready for me and I got it home it had a password so I was unable to logon. I took it back to the store and was advised they should have restored it prior to me leaving, but now the geek advisor communicated that the screen was glitching. Had the product been setup properly prior to my arrival the staff would have observed it was defective and I could made the decision at that time to get a refund or never checked out the product. However, because I finalized the sale by picking it up I was unable to get a full refund and was charged $30 for a anti virus program with no MacBook to use it on. Would not recommend.

So it gets a great score but I forget that it’s a 2012 computer with that being said it still out performs other newer computers just won’t download apps from the app store

This isn't a great computer but it is reliable. I didn't want to spend 1200 on a new Mac so I opted for an older refurbished one. I like that I can trust the protection and it always starts and doesn't randomly shut off. It is bulky and gets much warmer than my old ASUS though.
