Now almost as snappy as my 2018 Macbook Pro (8GB RAM, i5-7360U). Bilib ako sa longevity nitong 2012 MBP. Very good generation of Macbooks - the last of the upgradeable RAM and SSD. I have a similarly-aged Windows laptop that feels slow as hell already.

I have the same model MBP, but got it mid 2013 right before the Retina model was released. Gotta say, this machine is a BEAST. Never letting go of this. 1 of the 2 RAM slots is already defective, so I had to make do with merely 2gb RAM for quite some time. However, once I upgraded the only functioning slot to 8gb, it suddenly worked a bit faster than before. Mine also now sports a 240gb SSD while retaining the standard 500gb hard drive. For standard use, i.e. internet browsing, Microsoft Office, and now Zoom, it does the job pretty well. I remember this only cost a little over 50k brand new. Missing those days when Apple was still relatively affordable
