Questions about Macbook Pro mid 2012 (Non-retine)

Hi all

I think to buy my second MacBook.

Currently, I have a MacBook Air mid 2013.

It's screen/flash storage is a little on the small side for me.

Then I watched www.apple.com/benl and sought an Apple laptop that fits my needs.

And I fell on the MacBook Pro Non-retine (bottom of the page for MacBook Pro)

So my questions are:

Estimated life: it will last at least 2-3 years with what I'll do with it. (Read below for my needs)

It will be always fast enough, there is no need to be fast, but the average speed is necessary (startup time doesn't really matter unless it's longer than 5 minutes).

How long he will be out of date it will get most recent OS X updates for couple preferably 2-3 years.

Is it possible to perform the following operations on this MacBook Pro (my needs):

Some games like: GTA V (on lowest settings), Borderlands, Minecraft, Euro Truck Simulator 2,... (GTA V is working on my MacBook Air but must run from external HARD disk).

Run Windows 7 in BootCamp.

Surf the web

Watch YouTube videos in 1080 p/720 p

Basic PhotoShop

I'm not going to do things:

Edit video.

Record Gameplay videos.

Should what configuration I:

Cheaper, configuration of stock or choose for Core i7 and 8 GB of RAM I don't need an SSD (it's small, expensive).

I "need" core i7 and 8 GB of RAM or only 8 GB of RAM or only Core i7, just stock or stock with 8 GB of RAM.

Thanks in advance!

You can watch in Macs, refurbished Apple . These are like new only to an economy and you might find a slightly more than the current date to run Windows 7 in Bootcamp. A mid-2012 will take place in Windows 7 in Bootcamp. I bought 3 Mac (Mac Mini, 2 - MBP retinas) in the past and have never had a problem. They carry the same warranty that any new Mac. I think that any Mac you buy is easily past 2-3 years with what you want to run.

In the list of the things you mentioned, if you get a 2015 model, you will not be able to run Windows 7 in Bootcamp. You pouvez run it in a Virtual Machine like Parallels Desktop 11. I have a retinal model of 2015 and Bootcamp can only setup for Windows 8 and more. So, I run Windows 7 and 10 in a VM using Parallels Desktop. Personally, I would not run any graphics intensive games on your laptop, but you certainly can if you don't mind hearing that run the fans.

Certainly, 8 GB of RAM (minimum) with a 256 GB or larger SSD drive. You can do what others are doing and future proof your Mac by getting 16 GB or RAM. Current models have bus PCIe for flash storage and it's fast! I had a late 2012 with flash SATA storage retina and my current 2015 beginning with PCIe is much faster. Insofar as an Intel i5 or i7, it's really you. With what you mentioned, the i7 would probably be a good choice.

  • With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012

    I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.

    Try this it worked for another user having the same problems.

    Your MacBook is looking for initial start-up by car but can not find.

    Power on the Mac and hold down the 'option' at the same time, and then manually select to boot from the drive of choice.

    Also, try this first:

    SMC and the PRAM Reset

    I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I did an upgrade SSD with a Samsung Evo 850-series (500 GB.). However, I had no problem.

    I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original disc for the SSD via a USB-to-Sata adapter.

    My first start was slow because I don't have the SMC / PRAM reset my MBP was looking for startup disk.

    However after my MBP starts very quickly. I got no problem with Samsung Evo SSD. They work very well with Macs.

    Don't forget to activate the "pad" your non - owc SSD support.

    Open "terminal app" and enter the command 'sudo trimforce activate' select YES, YES... and restart after completing

  • All of a sudden c. slow Macbook Pro mid 2012

    Hello

    A few days ago, my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012) began to slow all of a sudden, often due to frequent beachballing of the cursor. I've had it three years now, and he never ran so slow. Basic functions same as open a web browser or the Finder be slow and difficult, with the municipality of beachballing. After running an EtreCheck on the laptop, he identified the performance than the poor and who have been having problems with the RAM. I could really do with some expert advice on how to solve this problem, and any help will be received with joy.

    Thank you

    Problem: Beachballing

    Description:

    Very suddenly, my Macbook Pro (mid-2012, 13 inches) has begun to slow down, with the beachball cursor popping up whenever I try to do the same basic functions, access to a web browser, at the opening of a program. I do not understand why this has happened so suddenly and what is the cause.

    So it seems that you need to develop your ram on this model because your running a lot of things at once, or the system is spent as you have used. Its pretty easy to install new ram on your template as well.

    I own a Macbook pro mid 2012. Now I want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB, please suggest if this update will help me to improve my performance to macbook.

    It will help in cases where the applications require more than 4 GB of RAM.  Otherwise, there will be no noticeable difference.  If you really want to increase the speed, an SSD is the best option.  They cost about 3 x's + more than a traditional HDD of same capacity...

    Ciao.

  • I am on a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Yeosmite 10.10.5, I want to switch to Sierra and am nervous to do when I had a terrible experience upgrade to Yosemite.  I have everything backed up on Time Machine. Can you please advise me?

    I am on a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Yeosmite 10.10.5, I want to switch to Sierra and am nervous to do when I had a terrible experience upgrade to Yosemite, support with gratitude by Apple in charge.  I have everything backed up on Time Machine. Are there steps of preparation I need to do before you download and upgrade to Sierra.  Can you please advise me please?

    N ° so you have a backup if something goes wrong you can return to Yosemite.

    Only concern is that some devices, including USB that may require the updated drivers, but these records are not always available

  • MacBook Pro mid 2012 very large Cache

    Hello everyone

    I own a Macbook Pro mid-2012, I swapped the stock 500 GB for a 256 GB SSD drive. My storage became full so I downloaded omnidisksweeper, after the execution of this program, I discovered that a Cache folder is over 100 GB in size. Is there a reason why it is so big and is it safe to remove it or not? I've also attached a screenshot of omnidisksweeper for your reference. Thanks in advance.

    In Safari - Preferences - check the box to develop

    Then go back and clear the cache (option + Cmd + E)

    Restart the computer

    See if this reduces the size of the cache that you see

  • USB hub works on MacBook Pro mid 2012 but not on MacBook Pro early 2013

    I recently bought a Top long Premium Hub 4 ports USB 3.0 aluminum.   I noticed that when I use it in my MacBook Pro i7 2.4 GHz with 16 GB of memory at the beginning of 2013 this external zip drives are not recognized.  (It works for my iphone charging).  Then I tried in my wife MacBook Pro mid 2012 with 2.3 GHz i7 and 8 GB of memory and the external zip drives worked perfectly. Both machines have 10.11.2 el Capitan installed.

    Why it would work on an older machine?  What Miss me?

    Is the hub AC powered or powered hub (requires the MBP to power all the devices on the hub)?  Self-powered hubs use ca for the lion share of the power of the device and MBP is essentially just the conduit.

  • Slow start after MacBook Pro mid 2012 Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD upgrade

    Hi dude, I would ask why, after I upgraded my MacBook Pro mid 2012 at Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD, my MacBook Pro take more than an hour at the system boot? The purpose of my mac said the SSD (S.M.A.R.T. is checked) and RAM information. I also restart the EL Capitan already.

    Is - this problem is hardware or software?

    Did you properly prepare the new SSD?

    Install OS X using the recovery network

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    Start on the recovery of the network server:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND + OPTION + R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15 - 20 minutes - until the main recovery menu appears.

    Partition and format the hard disk:

    1. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
    2. After load of THE select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entrance Out-dented with the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.
    3. Under the scheme of titled Volume set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete. To leave and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

    This should restore the version of OS X, originally installed on the computer.
