The backlit keyboard is perfectly spaced, the keys have just the right amount of travel and controls for backlighting and screen brightness are exceptionally useful when working in bright or dark conditions.
MACBOOK PRO MID 2012 SPECIFICATIONS PRO
We feel these issues should have been sorted out generations ago - surely small enough adjustments for a company as big and powerful as Apple?īut when the MacBook Pro is on form, it's great.
Existing MacBook Pro owners will be only too aware of a couple of frustrations: the front ridge is somewhat "sharp" and is uncomfortable to the wrists unless they're covered and the USB (and other) ports are so closely positioned that any snazzy, bulked-out USB key won't sit alongside and play nice with any others. Our complaints list is small, but it's still not a flawless machine, even this many iterations into the series.
MACBOOK PRO MID 2012 SPECIFICATIONS UPDATE
It won't be for all, and a more significant update might have been expected, but we still love it. After a week of use it feels just as effortless now as it did when it first loaded with incredible speed - and it's things like that which make all the difference in day-to-day schedules. Paired with the improved connections and all that internal power it's still up there with the best laptops on the market today. Externally it might not be quite so fresh, but it's still a classic.
Overall there's still a lot of love to be had for the MacBook Pro. Most Ultrabooks, however, haven't quite managed to combine the power with the overall built quality of Apple's devices quite yet - that's something that Apple really has got down to an art. There are similar Windows-based PCs out there that will cost many hundreds of pounds less, and that does pose the argument to turn to the main opposition as a consideration. There's also no avoiding the fact that this is a pricey machine. With that in mind it might make more sense not to spend £1500-1800+ and instead wait for a 2013 release or plump up the extra cash for the SSD-loaded, RAM-fuelled Retina display version. It still looks good, but is just less groundbreaking than it was at its inception, and the release of the MacBook Pro with Retina display really overshadows this 15-inch model. That said the MacBook Pro design has been around for a long time now. The user experience is smooth thanks to the latest operating system, and the Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 transfer speeds are a big step forward compared to the previous generation.
