Yes. I recently almost purchased one of these for $800 on eBay simply because I have a spare SSD and 16 GB of DDR3.
I won't pay $2000 for a laptop from Apple that has these things already soldered in.
In the end I still couldn't justify it as I want an I7 which they no longer sell with the ability to add ram and SSD.
- PhantomGremlin 10y agoI want an I7 which they no longer sell You can still buy the 2012 Macbook Pro with an i7. You must BTO: 13-inch MacBook Pro 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x2GB 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MD101LL/A&step=config http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MD101L... Cost is $1249. Bring your own RAM and SSD to upgrade as desired.
- hiram112 10y agoThanks - I did not know these were still sold. I usually look on EBay for a new one, and $700-$800 (with no tax) is a price point that I'd be willing to pay. I've never seen a new i7, though. At $1300 (with tax), I could get a pretty nice Thinkpad or Dell Precision with quad core 6th gen Intel and still use the ram and SSD.
