Those sleek looks very quickly lose their appeal when you see the hefty repair bill. Every year Apple makes its MacBooks more and more closed for achieving slimmer designs. This is another killer blow to the Mac siblings. Then again, like we mentioned, you can always replace it with hard drive. Even to rip DVDs you need to use a drive.

But we would like to draw your attention to the ignored stack of movie and other media DVDs that you disowned only because you didn’t have players left for them. Who needs DVD drives these days, you must be thinking.

Moreover, if you are tech savvy, you can replace the DVD drive bay with additional hard drive slot and have 2 hard drives – one SSD to install all your software and one standard drive for data capacity as high as 2TB! Yes, we know that those models have SSDs (Solid State Drives), which are much faster than the conventional hard drives, but hey, you always have the option of installing SSDs in this model as well. Such is the disparity that a 500GB version of Retina models (MacBook Air isn’t even available in 500+ GB hard drive) costs almost double this model. It comes with the standard 500 GB hard drive, while the much higher priced MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros start from 128 GB hard drives. This is where the oldest MacBook Pro really wins our hearts. Again, if you wish to use your laptop primarily for Internet browsing and Microsoft office applications and don’t crave for the newest operating systems then the pre installed RAM will be enough for you.

However, you can easily upgrade it to 8GB, or even 16GB (while Apple doesn’t recommend it, we’ve personally discovered it works just fine). It comes with 4GB Ram, which we agree is on the lower side. The non-Retina MacBook pro is the only surviving Apple laptop that allows RAM upgrade at user’s discretion. For a light user, especially with pre installed Mavericks OS (it’s slow in handling the latest Yosemite OS), MacBook Pro is a robust machine by any standards. Their perfect hardware-software integration gets more juice out of their devices than you can imagine. Yes, the technology on paper is outdated, but never judge an Apple product by it’s specs. Although the heart beating within it is over 2 years old (which in technology world is as long as a decade), MacBook Pro, with some upgrades, is still our preferred choice amongst the lavish line-up.Īnyone who has used any MacBook will tell you that a five year old MacBook works at par, if not better, than the latest PCs. Thankfully this overlooked MacBook hasn’t (yet) been discontinued. But the non-Retina model has been ignored like a stepchild. Since then Apple has religiously updated the MacBook Air lineup every year and launched and updated Retina MacBook Pros. Mid 2012 was when the non-Retina MacBook Pro last received an update.
