Wow! Finally have something to multitask with!
The computer was just as described and definitely lived up to the posting. Something that concerned me when I received it in the mail was the packaging (still 5 stars because I CAN PLAY GAMES WITH IT!). However, I've been using this nonstop for the past few weeks since receiving it and can use a variety of apps like The Sims 4 :3, lightroom and can multitask like crazy which definitely makes a difference in my other MBP which was 2008 late model with 8gb ram and intel duo core. I do find difficulties in playing FFIVX but that will come with adjsting the game specs. I am overall satisified with this computer and happy to have one that finally does everything I need it to do.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Slow and Steady Competes in its Category
Performance: This device reminds me of a late 1990s-era Windows 98SE PC based on the amount of time it takes to boot. For approximately the same price one can obtain an i3 Windows 10 device that boots as quickly. Two older i7 Windows 7 laptops (from 2010 and 2011, now running Linux) outperform this device in speed. The keyboard has an awkward characteristic to it. If one simply needs access to the Apple ecosystem for testing or light video editing, this device is acceptable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Last of the fully featured MBP laptops.
This model was the last to include the super drive as an internal device. The next model featured the Retina display as compensation, this was not, in my opinion a good trade off, as the Retina Display was plagued with hardware failure problems and overheated frequently. Well worth the extra few dollars to get this model.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Excellent machine! Great feature. Very upgradable.
2012 MBR 15" is very upgradable. This computer looks almost new. Inserted my own ram and ssd. Very sturdy with large display. Upgraded OS X to Mojave and has been working fine.Verified purchase: Yes

Excellent laptop computer
The world may be moving away from CD/DVD media, but this last MacBook Pro with the drive is a gem. My 2nd iteration of this model and it's a solid performer that's also user upgradable...another 'feature' Apple chose to remove in later years. Love the machine, truly dislike the company.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great laptop still in 2016!!!
I bought this MacBookPro as my first foray into the mac world. I wanted one for web design and audio recording, but I couldn't afford a brand new machine. The lack of retina display wasn't a big deal to me as even this model still has higher resolution than my previous Dell. After updating to El Capitan, and upgrading the ram to 16gb(Apple claims that 8gb is the max, but I can confirm that it is using 16gb with no problems), this is a beast of a laptop. I've had no issues with it, and learning the OS X ecosystem has been easier than I was afraid it might be. In the future I plan to upgrade this to a SSD, and can't wait to see the performance increase. Based on my experiences, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO IN 2016!!! Use the money that you save for upgrading the ram, HDD, and purchasing software.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Would not buy again..
There was nothing “fully functional” about the MacBook Pro that I received. Aside from the case damage that I expected it to have upon arrival the battery was completely dead and would not hold a charge. It had to be plugged up to even stay on. The left speaker was broken and did not work. The HDD was on its last leg and would need to be replaced. I ran into multiple roadblocks trying to install Catalina and that’s where I learned just how adults of a laptop I purchased was. I’m sure there are other issues I haven’t found yet and I’m not sure I even want to keep it at this point.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Upgraded from 2011 Macbook Pro 17" to 2012 Macbook Pro 15" so I could get 16GB of RAM
Very happy with this system. I had a nice 2011 Macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM. Apple rigged the system so it could not be upgraded with more RAM. So after much research I discovered I could upgrade the 2012 Macbook Pro to 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD drive. I got an I7 processor with stripped memory and hard drive. I threw away the drive and memory and put in my 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD drive from Other World Computing and now I have a SMOKING fast Macbook Pro for a fraction of the price of a new comparable unit. I decided to get a 15" unit rather than 17" to make it easier to carry around. Very happy with this system and it should be my go-to laptop for several years to come.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Still king in 2022
Even in 2022 the mid 2012 15inch MacBook Pro is king for general computing. With the option of very easily adding 16gb of ram and a ssd puts this particular machine above newer more expensive laptops at half the cost (at time of this review). Using the opencore legacy patcher allows the instillation of both Big Sur and Monterey, which work beautifully with the available i7 4c/8t processors in the 15inch models. These machines are still capable of working with the latest version of GarageBand and doing light video editing. The Mid 2012 15inch MacBook Pro is very much the superior choice over a used MacBook air or even some used underpowered iMac models with their flawed failing AMD graphics.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Better performance + optical drive
I upgraded from 2009 macbook pro 17-inch which was at end of life in more ways than one -- to 16GB memory, 1TB SSHD and still with optical drive. Very happy with this refurbished item - just a small ding in the cover.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
