I have used this laptop for a couple of days. I noticed that the battery is still in good health. I was surprised as this is a 7 year old model. Regardless, the HDD takes a good 2 minutes to load from the minute you press the button. What you can do in this case is replace the HDD with a 256gb SSD. This is still one of those Macbook where you can remove the drives without needing fancy stuff. That really improved my speed for the computer down from 2 minutes to only just 29 seconds. 4x faster for just $50. You have to format it, once you format it, you have to connect to the internet for the laptop to download the OS because there's no other way to transfer the OS or clone the drive. You can set it up completely as new, and it works exactly as fast as one of the newer Macbooks that you might have to dish out at least a thousand. Read full review

unit seems to be running fine. i dropped an ssd and jacked the ram, worth the money i paid. BUT, unit was said to be 9/10! ill go high as 6/7. unit had minor cosmetic flaws, but was absolutely filthy inside n out. im guessin by frequency sound fans are on last leg. just dont think you should tell folks theyre getting piece of wagu and serve them a happy meal. my opinion. again, once cleaned and gone through, worth the money.

I purchased a used 2012 MacBook Pro 13” non-retina display. The device has been upgraded to have a 240gb SSD and 8gbs of ram. The computer is fast and runs Mojave with ease. I also partitioned the drive to have windows 10 as a bootable option as well for programs that are incompatible with macOS.

The last with a built-in CD drive (and I actually prefer the weight, so it doesn't slide around); just wish it had the replaceable battery my older version had - ah well, gone! The computer I got (grade B) is fine (though there's a -little- missing-pixels spot in lower corner not supposed to be there in grade B - but it's hard to find it most of the time, so I'm happy) - not "scared" of grade Bs now. This year upgrades to latest operating systems just fine (that is, it came with Sierra - and I'm glad -not- with High Sierra, which I hear has been problematic to date, late 2017); and transferring all my other files/programs went fine with the Migration Assistant on both computers (if the old computer hadn't been extant, I could have done the transfer from my backup drive, with a little more hassle). I'd recommend it to those who don't have to take their laptop while traveling light. It was a good deal.Read full review

Great computer! This is my second one of this model, after the first one shorted at the power source. I like how you can still replace the batteries and such if you need to, with enough demand to keep aftermarket supplies comming for a few years still. Still their best macbook pro, unless youre gaming or graphic designing, in which case the graphics card and display are lacking. But you can set up an external display with 2k resolution.
