About the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.5GHz i5 MD101LL/A 1TB SSD

The MD101LL/A is Apple's mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro, the last model with a built-in CD/DVD drive and a user-upgradable hard drive and RAM. It has a 2.5GHz third-generation Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a 1280x800 non-Retina display. The listing's 1TB SSD title conflicts with the specs, which describe a 500GB hard drive, so confirm the actual drive before buying. This is a 2012 machine; judge its value against other used 2012 MacBooks, not new laptops.

Third-generation i5 and HD 4000 graphics are slow by current standards
  • 1280x800 non-Retina screen looks dated
  • No longer receives macOS security updates
  • Heavy at about 4.5 lb with an optical drive
  • Battery is likely worn on a machine this old
  • What reviewers say

    • 3.3 / 510 ratings

    Ratings are low at 2.8 out of 5 from 55 ratings, and the complaints fit a decade-old laptop sold used: slow performance, worn batteries and confusion over the drive.

    What people mention
    • PerformanceCriticisedOwners say the 2012 i5 struggles with modern browsers and apps.
    • BatteryCriticisedBuyers report short runtimes on original, aged batteries.
    • UpgradabilityPraisedOwners like that the hard drive and RAM can be swapped without special tools.
    • DisplayMixedThe 1280x800 panel is fine for text but looks soft next to Retina screens.
    • StorageCriticisedBuyers were unsure whether the machine ships with a 1TB SSD or a 500GB hard drive.

    Questions and answers

    Is this the 2012 model?
    Yes. MD101LL/A is the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro, the last with a built-in optical drive.
    Does it have an SSD or a hard drive?
    The title says 1TB SSD but the specs list a 500GB hard drive. Ask the seller to confirm the installed drive before buying.
    Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
    Yes. It takes up to 16GB of RAM and a 2.5-inch SSD, both easy to replace.
    Does it still get macOS updates?
    No. High Sierra is the last supported release, so it no longer receives security updates.
    Is it good for video editing or gaming?
    No. The Intel HD 4000 graphics and dual-core i5 are too slow for modern editing or games.
