I feel like my 2012 still has a few good years left in her, but the M1 chips have been enough to make me strongly consider biting the bullet and buying a new model.
2012 macbook pro ram upgrade#
If I were to upgrade a MBP pro today I would actually probably consider a 2015 model with user-upgradable storage over another 20s have soldered RAM, but if you can find a deal on a 16GB model then that's plenty to run alongside a SSD upgrade.
I've gotten to the point where the iMac HDD has become burdensome enough to where I'm finally willing to crack it open and attempt an SSD install.

The 2012 MBP is actually significantly snappier than the iMac which is 5 years younger, but has an internal HDD. Note that 'Retina' MacBook Pro models (2012 to Present) cannot have the RAM upgraded at all after purchase. I have an iMac and PC gaming rig in addition to the laptop, so for my particular use case it serves me very well. However, I would only suggest it if you don't need a laptop for anything that taxes the GPU or gaming purposes. Get the right RAM from the start and you will not have to take any possible corrective action later. This is what Apple recommends and any deviation from this leaves you open to risk. That 2012 is still my daily laptop and the SSD makes it feel snappier than ever. Answer: A: Answer: A: The correct RAM specifications for a 2012 MBP are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. I finally had to replace it around 2019 due to a screen crack, but I opted for a used 2012 MBP rather than a new model for the reason that it's the last fully upgradable model.
My first macbook was a late 2008 that lasted me throughout college + an extra 4 years after upgrading the HDD to a SDD and adding RAM.
This post is 4 months old at this point, but FWIW I wholeheartedly think a 2012 MBP w/ SSD upgrade is still usable today.
