Have you got an old laptop lying around gathering dust, or is your current laptop feeling sluggish and old? The mid 2012 Macbook Pro was the last truly upgradable machine from Apple. If that's what you've got and you've been itching for an upgrade, let me show you how to revive that old machine. Removing the old, slow hard drive is easy, and replacing it with a much faster SSD is a breeze. Upgrading the RAM is even easier and you can put 16Gb into these, even though Apple originally stated 8Gb max. If you have the 15" version, then you can turn that into a beast. The only thing lagging behind at this stage is the screen but it's still a great quad core machine for music production. If you've got a 13" like me, it's still a pretty good machine, although it's just dual core, and it's worth spending a little bit of time and money to upgrade it. You can even replace the DVD drive in them with a second SSD for massive storage, and if you want some cheap backup, you'll be able to plug your old drive into a USB slot. If you get the right cable for it, you can even still use your DVD drive externally too!


If you intend to use one of these machines for years to come, then a slightly bigger job of re-applying thermal paste on the CPU would be advisable.


Bear in mind, you won't be running Big Sur on these 2012 machines, Catalina is the last MacOS that's supported on them. Sometime in the next 12 months Catalina is likely to receive its last security update, and at that point it won't be advisable to run MacOS on your Mac anymore. All won't be lost though as you can run Windows perfectly well on these machines, and Linux too! Just be aware of the coming change and prepare for it by familiarizing yourself with either Windows or one of the many Linux distros out there.
