The mid 2012 13 inch unibody MacBook Pro is one of the most revered and long lasting MacBook Pros ever made. In today's video I bought a cheap damaged 2012 with the core i7 processor. In today's video we're going to restore this cheap $100 MacBook Pro to brand new condition and upgrade it to the max, thus building the most powerful, fully upgraded 13 inch MacBook Pro in the world!

@@lukemiani MacBook Air 2011 11 inch Vs 2008 MacBook Pro-> which is better
This time "Upgrading it to the max" really sounded like "Upgrading it to the Macs"
That’s really cool of you to do. I’m going to have to check out that police accountability organization
Luke is the type of guy that would create a LukeScore and rate the MacBooks
THIS! Is one great comment
THIS is something that should happen
Doug...
Starting with the weekend category and styling, the MacBook Pro hasn’t aged terribly well. It has thick bezels at the front, but the styling is helped somewhat by the cool glowing apple logo in the rear and scores a 6 out of 10.
*Insert do it meme here*
“A terbyte is really not enough these days”
All of my fellow 128gb MacBook owners: 😭🔫
half of it is the system itself :.(
500 GBs owner here
i have a 256 and its too much
Owen Whitelock not enough if you edit videos, pictures, or use other applications other than safari and google chrome
mine is 2017 128gb :(
It’s honestly amazing that they sell so many cosmetic components to this old computer.
I still love using my mid-2012 unibody 15" macbook pro! I did mostly what you did ( ie. increased to the max ram it could take and put in a 1tb ssd & 2 tb wd blue hard drive ) and couldn't be more happier. I can see myself using this forever, LOL.
Not quite maxed out, but I did upgrade my mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro. I can see myself holding onto this as long as I can.
I got the same, 10gigs of ram and 512 ssd, but it won’t really play 4K from my DJI phantom at 60hz, so I also got a late 2013 iMac, top specked :)
i have a late 2012 retina, so i can't upgrade :(
@@alexyuan7271 Yeah, that's one of the reasons I haven't bought a newer Macbook, lol. Thankfully I'm still able to use the latest MacOS High Sierra. Eventually I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a new model once the laptop isn't able to use to newest OS. Hopefully it'll be a couple more years from now.
@@ChengTeoh there are ways to bypass the system and get higher os systems
I've always had older macs. In 2012 I was still using a 2004 G5 at home and a 2005 12" iBook G4 on the road. Then I moved to a 2007 MacBook in 2016, which was just replaced two weeks ago by the same model 2012 MacBook pro you restored in this video.
Even though people consider it to be old and slow, it feels very fast to me. It'll be even faster when I add an SSD and max out the RAM. It has a 3/4" crack in the glass that I didn't notice until the day after I bought it. But I was thrilled to find out from one of your videos that the glass is easily replaced for $12, so I'll do that when I upgrade the rest.
When I'm done fixing it up, I expect it to be my main machine until it will no longer run up to date browsers. Perhaps in 2028 I'll pick up a cheap used 2020 16" MBP for the next leg of my computing life.
Electronic gadgets are detrimental to the environment, so it's important not to waste them by replacing them when they still function well enough to fulfill their need. The longer a computer can be used, the later it will be recycled or sent to landfill. Few of us truly need the latest and greatest devices every two years. Eight years might be stretching it, but the longer, the better.
ya know that's a great essay LOL but seriously your right about not having to change a computer every 2 years I agree with everything in the comment !
YES. Buy it for life. I was using an iBook G4 from 2008 to the fall of 2010 when i bought a brand new 15 inch Macbook Pro for school.. this laptop is still by my side and i traded my iBook to a guy in 2011 for an iPod Photo that i still use today!
I bought a MBP new in 2015. 5 Years old and going strong. Don't see replacing it anytime soon.
Bro 😂 there is something called live your life. Come on!! You never want to experience a brand new laptop feeling? Nothing comes close to it. I mean it’s your life and your choice anyways but the smell of a new laptop haha it’s amazing. Try it at least once in your life
@@mova_2020 So just plunk down a few thou on the latest and greatest? I might consider that if I had the money, but I don't, so I won't.
FWIW, us 2012 MBP owners just had a scare, when an apple security update killed webgl and lots of software and websites stopped working. But thankfully, a subsequent update fixed it and it's back to normal. A year and a half after getting this book that turns 10 this year, it's still going strong. Even if I get an M1 book, I'll find a use for this one at least until it's no longer receiving security updates. Hell, I recently saw a video about a project to spruce up Leopard in order to keep powerpc macs relevant -- there must be something for which I can use my old G5, which still feels fast to me!
Be careful not to inhale too much of that new laptop smell -- it'll go right to your head!
It’s like Trigger’s broom!
“I’ve had this broom for 15 years; it’s only had 3 new handles and 4 new heads”. 😆
Good job. Enjoyed it.
We have a saying in our house. Look after your broom!
You win the Internet for today :D
Dean Robert Noble sorry dude I made the same comment bout the broom before looking down the list. Kiddos to you tho
I was literally just about to mention Trigger's broom. :-)
That was a funny line, Trigger got all the best lines
Name her "Nebula"
Cause like Thanos, you replaced just about every part of her
This comment is underrated
Best comment ever
Lets restore this macbook
Luke: Ight imma replace every single part
As opposed to Austin Evans who just puts in some RAM.
@@Nekesu we’re all austin evans when you think about it
I was boutta say that was more or less just a complicated motherboard swap 😭 ig he technically kept the keyboard WiFi fan and speakers but that’s basically it lmao
Fuck I just realized he says this at the end of the video
WHAT ARE YALL DOING WHEN 1TB IS SMALL
video editing, photoshop, high res movies, images, videos, etc
Shut up
@@powerpc64so 97% of people are ok with less right?
@@Shimeihyes
True
Not sure if a video or an ad for iFixIt. For everytime he says iFixIt, i took a drink now I am dead
ask him why he didnt just replaced glass only in this macbook for cheap and EASIER repair
well, it is a sponsored video, so it kinda is an ad for ifixit just spread across the course of the vid
Bart I replaced just the glass on mine and the glass has been falling off so I don’t blame him for just getting the whole assembly
It’s obviously sponsored content but he’s donating every penny of revenue which is more than you can even ask from much bigger you tubers
I laugh so hard with u comment XD
Wow! Luke Just Built a MaxBook Pro 😍🤩
Gotta love the old Macbooks - magsafe connector, battery indicator, upgradable RAM/HDD and LOTS OF PORTS!!!!
7:51 When the sax kicks in just right
I need that song name!
I am a saxophonist and I agree!
@@JoeyVictorVideos Oh and BTW the song is Particle Heaven - Just Like in the Movies.
so right
The best Macbook ever built. It's still my principal device on 2020 👌🏾
Bro Same
Only misses the retina display
@Peter Mcdonald couldn't agree more.
Peter Mcdonald are you saying it honestly?
I agree, they are really great and built to last, I recently upgraded mine to a 500gb SSD and I honestly don’t see the point in buying a new one :’)
I upgraded the wifi to an AC card - in addition to the other upgrades in this video. Just updated the OS to Ventura with Opencore Legacy Patcher. This machine on Ventura got a speed boost. It is very competent. As a graphics oriented driver (video production and more elaborate games) it isn't a great machine. But when used for common office uses (word processing, spreadsheets, web browsing, email, etc.) it's incredible. Stage Manager makes this machine a beast as switching between apps keeps the screen clean and organized. The beauty with this machine over the later Retina is you have much greater control over components and you get to keep your storage new. Soldered on storage and RAM will eventually render newer machines vulnerable and soon landfill matter, while these unibodies can be extended further into the future with fresh and new components. That's the biggest advantage of these older and upgradable Macs. I bet my 2012 MBP will live a lot longer than my 2016 MBP.
Which WiFi card did you get? Ventura faster than what?
I bought a mint condition 2012 MBP 15" and upgraded the RAM to 16Gb and installed a 500Gb SSD. Same 2.9Ghz i7 processor as this. Cost me 500 bucks in total. Cinebench score is 1228. That's better than the Quad Core 2020 MBA's score which is about 950.
That’s what I’m thinking to do just purchased a pre owned MacBook Pro 13
AYO????!!😳
I’m trynna do mine too but idk how 😂 help anyone ! I’ll buy
YES! I was waiting for this! Glad to see Luke regarding his viewer's comments!!
Edit: When luke says "The best MacBook in the world" it reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson saying "The fastest car in the world" in his Toyota Yaris...
whats your opinion on Iris Pro graphics, mr UHD
@@NonsensicalSpudz Hm, they are my cousin and good internal graphics but I'm definitely better then HD graphics 😎
Hey, have you heard of Intel GMA?
What do you think of the intergrated radeon graphics, mr uhd graphics
@@adamkija6895 They are beating us for sure although my creator, intel needs to put us in competition 😡
I’m surprised you didn’t refresh the thermal paste.
It’s just an ad for iFixit he should have cleaned it and changed the thermal paste for better performance and cooling
i bet if he did and ramped up the fans, he might have reached over 700cb
@@asianflex how can you ramp up fans is it just getting better ones or can make them run faster through software?
@@isaiahenchiladas9560 I've had mixed experience with aftermarket fans, but applications such as smcfancontrol (by eidac, I believe) can reduce temps by 10-20 degrees celsius. Your laptop would sound like a jet engine, though, and I'm sure Apple didn't consider that a "Pro" feature.
Thanks to you, I bought my first MacBook on March, a stock, almost new 2012 Corei5, upgraded it to 256SSD and 10GB of RAM and I can't be happier! My MacOS xperience so far has been AMAZING , thanks a lot
I have one of these MacBook Pros and have done the SSD/RAM upgrades as well as refresh the thermal paste on my logic board. It is still a great laptop to use when surfing the Internet and viewing RUclips videos. Great to see you make a video on this laptop to show others what they can do to their aging MacBooks 👌
I don’t remember exactly where but I saw that you can replace the WiFi board to allow better WiFi and Bluetooth and also AirPod software support
Send me if you find the vid please, i need that, thaks!
They've been sold out for months, unfortunately. The 2012 already has Bluetooth 4.0 so unless you're running ridiculously high wifi speeds then the upgraded wifi card isn't really needed.
It already supports AirPods, the new wifi card just adds faster wifi and also allows you to use Apple Watch unlock.
Hunter Reece the seller makes them still. Snagged one a few weeks ago. Check the forum on MacRumors. You can see my screenshot of the installed card.
You can upgrade its to ac wifi + bluetooth 4.2 if you're patient enough and wait for them to restock every 6 months or so. Still a serious upgrade
You should call it Lazarus or Phoenix because it came back from the grave!
I definitely would go with Phoenix honestly 🤷🏼♂️
Salute to you!..a real environmentalist not just recycle, they repair and reuse stuffs!.
Lazarus is perfect for this MacBook
It's amazing how good you can make these MBPs when you replace literally everything but the logic board and fan. 😁 I say you should name it The Phoenix.
Name her „Cher“, an old star, that consists of more spare parts than original parts. :D
Good one
💀
German!!!
He BELIEVED that he could fix Cher.
A friend of mine was literally throwing out his 2012 unibody a couple years ago because it “didn’t work”, I took a look at it and it was just slow from year and years of use and updates, took it off his hands for $100, bough a 128gb ssd and 8gb ram kit for ~$50 and did a clean install of macOS. The thing felt just as snappy as my 2015 retina and I used it for a couple months just as my couch computer. I had no reason to be using it over my 2015 but something about it just felt so cool, that such an old computer can still feel like new. Ended up selling it for quite a bit more than I paid it for. But any new laptop you could get for the price I sold it for would have some bargain bin cpu, 4gb ram, and definitely not an ssd, not to mention it wouldn’t have MacBook’s legendary build quality or keyboard/trackpad feel.
How much did you sell it for?
9:06 This is why I love Luke's Videos :D 😍😍
Great skills in assembly. Very enjoyable to watch!
I love this idea of breathing life into old laptops, which are still fast once HD and RAM are upgraded.
Love these sleeper builds. Pull up to a stop light next to a 2020 MacBook Air and bam! Doors blown!
9:06 the pitch shifted part made me die of laughter 😂😂😂
You picked a lot of storage. At least you can have a Time Machine inside the device LOL
Still using my mid 2012 as my main! Kinda bummed we aren't getting the update but there are ways around that. Upgraded to two SSD's and 8gm ram and a new battery but Didn't cost too much. Thinking I might get a new Macbook pro in the next couple years but for now, this tank has gotten me through my first bachelors and is getting me through my second running nursing virtual clinical software like a breeze.
Epic video man. A note to the viewers, this is completely possible to do as well on a 2011 unibody if you upgrade the motherboard to a 2012 as well. Like Luke said, it’s not the most practical thing but it’s the fact that your technology is still a functioning piece of equipment.
i just love seeing youtubers fixing up old macs.have a 2012 pro myself.u guys are doing great work!
iFixit: "So uh, how long do you think you will plug us in your new video?"
Luke: "Yes."
iFixit: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Parents: our baby is sick, please, cure him
Doctor: so, here is a new child from the orphanage, let me just transplant your kids brain into him
LOL
Nice DIY !! liked very much !!
just revived a 2012 Macbook pro that had the "question mark file". 3 years ago I thought the computer was toast. Glad I found your youtube page and glad I never got rid of the unit. With a new SSD and 16GB of RAM the machine is as good as new. thanks.
"We can rebuild it. We have the technology."
Call it "The Six Million Dollar Mac"
Brilliant video, Luke! Should have mentioned that the upgrade was worth it due to all the ports that can still be utilised and are not present on the newer MacBook Pros. I sort of did the same last year to my late-2012 MacBook Pro by upgrading its HDD to an SDD and maxing RAM to 16GB. Now it runs with lighting speed!
I was rockin a 2009 white Macbook until about a year and a half ago. It served me well for years (I used it regularly and even recorded music on it...even a full band with 16 mics). Eventually I got sick of being stuck in the past so I went on ebay and found a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina with an i7 and upgraded RAM and SSD. Now this is my normal laptop for every day use. It is plenty powerful for every day use, watching videos, etc.
I've been waiting for this video forever!
There is one thing you forgot to do: The thermal paste should have been reapplied
MacBook Pro 2012... Maxed out...MacBook 12 Pro Max?
Maxbook pro
Just did this. Very happy with it.
I’m still using a 2011 unibody MacBook Pro and this is one of the best looking MacBooks I’ve seen so far
7:54 Oh Baby!! you look like a sexy brand new macbook pro.
8:54 M I the first one to notice that he mentioned "IT'S 12 YEARS OLD"? I guess we are still in 2020 😜
Great video though!
Unibody design started in 2008, even though this is a 2012 model
Wow, I literally just got this same model from my cousin for free, with the same problems! Thanks for the coincidentally well-timed guide for fixing one!
I love your videos Dude! My 2009 White Unibody MacBook is still my daily driver for all things streaming, emails and invoices and my 2012 MacBook Pro is still my only machine in use at my recording studio. Both are still going strong and doing exactly what I need them to do!
Oof, Luke it’s “Extreme Makeover: MacBook Edition” not “Home Makeover: MacBook Edition.” I’m disappointed I noticed this right away.
i love these kind of videos. its so satisfying to see old macs being restored and maxed out!
the DVD player is the best part about these 2012 MacBooks , a shame they no longer offer dvd players in laptops
Thanks Luke, I will be liking this video
Really great stuff, Luke! Thank you.
this one should go to museum be a collection, and I no doubt your comments, I got three macbooks, 2011 macbook air 11.6" with 4Gb ram (only 64Gb SSD)runs high sierra, 2015 macbook pro 13" with 8Gb ram runs Mojave and 2017 macbook pro 13" with 8Gb ram runs Catalina , they are all working well and no any issues , except 2011 one slept in my closet for collection, I love them all.
Great video - absolutely love the unibody macs - still use my 2012 15" as my daily professional work machine - graphic design, batch photo editing, hd video editing, some audio production, some cinema 4d etc - handles it all with ease
This channel is super underrated! This guy deserves 3 million subscribers!!!
Bought my unibody 2012 a couple months ago, did some upgrades, and now it works faster than my backup PC that I had. Ironically, its manufacture date is newer than my 2013 ASUS ROG! A great macbook for my uses and have enjoyed watching your channel!
you give me so much hope with these videos
Thx for these fantastic, so well done videos 👍🏼
These rebuild/overhaul/upgrade videos are my favorite.
Love your work Luke, this mac has to be called Phoenix because its risen from the ashes
Thank you! I am so glad and excited you posted this! Your content is my favourite, I drop everything to see what you post ASAP :p
I have this exact model, bought new when it came out & It's still my daily laptop today. Overtime I did the SSD and ram upgrades myself but my screen has lost its color accuracy and the battery barely lasts. Now I have confidence that I may squeeze more life out of it so Thank you for this video!
I had the i5 2011 model 13 inch pro, it served me well, Used it for 9 years and i finally changed laptop in 2020 for a gaming one, i maxed it out with 16 gb of ram, new thermal paste, new battery and a 512 gb SSD (didnt need more, i use mostly cloud for documents and stuff) i gave it to my dad which he still uses to this day.
This unibody design was buit to last, havent used a modern mac yet so i cant talk about the new ones but some apple products last!! (My mom is still rocking my partner's old iphone 6s and shes super happy with it)
This is truly the most underrated channel. Tech + comedy! 😗👌 (Italian hands)
Thank you so much for this video! I thought my old mid-2012 MacBook Pro was dead, but it turned out just to be a faulty HDD connector cable. I replaced the cable myself for about $14 and (after seeing this video) decided to do some upgrades. I installed 16gb ram, a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO HD, and a new battery. In total I spend about $270. My laptop is running great! I am so, so happy.
Does it still good for video editing? After all upgrade like you did, i think i has one for long time no use anymore
Excellent proyect and I love the way you work. Its very clear after seen your video, that the goal is to bring back to life the old models of Apple laptops. And is really incredible, to see how a laptop almost dead is better than in his glory days!
I love the idea of repair or restore. Great project. Did it with my Mac mini late 2012. It’s a beast.
Another great video by Luke Miani... I have to try this type of a project for my own enrichment... Thank YOU LUKE for a job well done!!!!
Thanks for the video. This is very encouraging for me to get into repairing my old MacBook
Great video, I have done all the upgrades except replacing the optical drive on my 15” 2012 it works great with these upgrades.
IFIXIT rocks. Kept my 2012 MBP 15" quite happy. And a few iphones as well!
Nice Job Luke
This was so cool. Been looking for a good video to inspire me bring my 13.3 MacBook retina back to life.
Finally, my Ultimate Unibody 13" 2012 MacBook Pro has a competitor! Great Video Luke
This is my MBP ... I bought one on your recommendation Luke ... I love it ....Running MoJave on it with a 500GB SSD 16GB RAM it's not slow at all.
Watching this on my early 2011 MBP with 2.7 - i7, 16gb Ram and 500gb SSD running High Sierra. Use it every day - works just fine!
Luke you’re awesome dude!
Thank you!!! Plan on updating my 2012 non Rentina MacBook Pro 13 inch with more RAM and an SSD.
And receiving my new 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro tomorrow.
Best upgrade video ever. 👍 from Wales 🏴
With the voice you used at 9:07 : Now hang on a minute, this was great to watch! Keep it up!
I've done the same thing although I started with a system in a bit better shape so didn't need case replacements and I put in 2x 4TB SSDs for 8TB total storage. The thing is a beast!
Glad to see the ifixit sponsor! They started in my hometown and they have been amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this as I just received my new 2x 8gb of ram and a 500 ssd to upgrade my 2012 mid MacBook Pro! Can’t wait to get off work to fix it up and have it breathe life again.
Bought a Unibody 15" 2012 couple of weeks ago for good price. Put an SSD in it, 16GB RAM, and a 1680 x 1050 screen off an old 2011 with failed mainboard. It's working beautifully. I actually bought it for the kids to use at the school where I work, but I'm using it a lot myself as well. My main machine is a base M1 Air, but I prefer the 15" screen of the 2012. And the Unibody Macs are just so cool!
Just did this exact same project this past April as a “quarantine project” then flipped it and bought another 13” MacBook 2012 upgraded it max and restored it to new and I’m keeping it this time to keep wear off my new 16”
excellent and I will look in to iFixit store for my mac upgrades
Love your videos bought my first MacBook Pro 2015 thx to your videos been learning a lot about macOS and the inners of a MacBook thx👍🙏💖
IFixit tools are good quality and value for money, great you got a sponsorship with them Luke! I bought the iFixit essentials tool kit last week and it made Raspberry Pi setups so much easier. Yet to try on a Mac though.
Very helpful. Thanks from my 2012 MacBook Pro
Idk, every time you repair such a messed up machine it gives me great satisfaction. Keep up the good work.
I put an SSD into my mid-2012 MacBook Pro and upgraded it to 16GB of RAM just last week. I love that thing. It's working great again.
Your videos bring me a strange, but pleasant sense of relaxation and calmness
Great video, Luke! I still use my mid-2012 MBP daily, after max upgrades. External displays, keyboard, and original bluetooth trackpad make it a perfect desktop for my needs. I use this machine specifically for the optical drive - I love watching DVDs.
Thanks for this video to show old hardware can still be usable!
Regarding my computer, I'm still using my 8-year old 2012 13" Retina MacBook Pro (A1425) 2.5 GHz Dual Core i5 w/8GB RAM.
The OEM battery is sitting on 85% health with 1395 cycles (as at today). I've used this computer every day since I purchased it from being at University to my daily docked-desktop with Dual Screen setup. Originally a 128GB SSD, I upgraded to the OWC 256GB in 2016, thinking I would get a new MacBook Pro soon after, however after suffering the Retina Display delamination issue, I wasnt about to jump into a keyboard problem even if it was recognised in a replacement scheme. So for holding onto my computer a little longer. I added an additional 256Mb MiniSD Nifty Drive in the SDXC slot.
Even though the memory is minimal and slow by today's standards, and the graphics is integrated Intel HD 4000, I'm able to play some Steam & Origin games quite happily on lower settings without the fans ramping up too much.
To be honest, I had intended to upgrade to the 15" MBP in 2018 but the ongoing keyboard issues kept me away from that model also. Since 2019 of course with the screen being 16" in the same form factor and the keyboard issue being "fixed" should have me jumping at 2019, but right now i'm holding out for WWDC as to what I will do.
Did the same with an old 2009 13" MBP my sister dropped a couple years back. Instead of fixing it, she bought a 2014 13" MBP (really 2012) in near new condition with the box. It was so clean you'd swear it was brand new minus the plastic wrapping. The old 2009 sat in my drawer for months, listed on Craigslist for parts. I was about to trash it, when out of curiosity I looked up at how much the parts cost to get it running. New display assembly, new battery, new trackpad, new keyboard, new RAM, data doubler, all came out to ~$130 so I ordered the parts. I already had a spare 500GB SSD and 1TB HDD. Put it all together, created a fusion drive out of the SSD and HDD, installed Catalina on it via DosDude1 patch. Brought it back to life and gave it to my other sister. Its a great little machine for web browsing, social media, watching netflix, youtube, etc..
Now if only the Mac Pro 6,1 would drop in price significantly, I would totally do the same to a quad core and upgrade it to an 8 or 12 core.
In the meantime, still got my 2013 15" MBP running strong, but getting ready to upgrade to a 16" MBP.
Once again, awesome!
Keep up the great work. Idk how you don't have more followers. They should come!
Your videos got me to buy a used 2012 on eBay for a good price. I added memory and a ssd drive. Very happy with it. Thanks you. Keep your videos coming.
What did you pay?
Man Luke, I just love your shirts.
thank you for this video Luke. Very entertaining and good to know that this restore costs more than a 2020 MBA.
