I bought a 2012 MacBook pro from eBay, replaced the battery and a few others, and it's been my workhorse for years. Best laptop around.
Shout-out to ifixit for providing kits and walkthroughs!
- scarface74 4y agoI can’t imagine using an x86 based Mac in 2022. Especially with the $999 MacBook Air being so good. If you care about little things like speed, battery life, heat, etc.
- jvanderbot 4y agoFor 2-300, plus the fun of tinkering on it, it's been well worth it. The biggest thing I write on it is journal entries, emails, and mostly small microcontroller code or lambda endpoints for my own hobby projects.
- nicbou 4y agoThey're still excellent laptops, even if the M1 models are ridiculously good. My 2017 rMBP still flies. Even my 2017 Macbook 12" is a capable tiny laptop.
