I’m looking at just rebuying but the I7 for a bit more processing power. A friend gave me the mod 2012 I5 and it’s been great! But looking now I have a friend with my model for $175, or on EBay an I7 for $200. For me I don’t need too much fancy stuff. I’m just recording tracks, and my sound card direct monitors. So no latency and can dump my tracks later. Plus it has the firewire capability, and I have $2.5k sound card. It works very well for music and my AV work. Saw no need to spend $2k on a mobile rig when this does the job. My Mac Mini I7 64gb ram helps me finish the job.

@@slugim5841 hola Solo se puede cambiar sacando el cpu y soldandoloya que viene integrado y modificando algunos componentes en la placa madre no vale la pena es mas facil comprar una placa madre en ebay que estan a un precio entre 35$ a 80$ i7
The i7 will be a bit faster, not much difference, in the end both have 2 cores and 4 threads, people still love the 2012 13 inch model. It responds very fast with a solid state drive, you can buy just the logic board on eBay for around $45 to $80 and upgrade it to i7
Im glad i spent on the i7 with 8 gigs of ram back in 2012. Upgraded the ram to 16 and SSD and this legacy MBP is a beast again.
Yo estoy pensando en hacer ese cambio a 16 de ram y ssd , es notable la diferencia?
@@YorkelSuarez7 si es notable y vale la pena. Asegura que hagas un PRAM reset después.
I have the i5 bc it was 200€ cheaper but 16gb ram and ssd are here
@@YorkelSuarez7 si mucha ladiferencia
Which Geekbench version did u use? It’s not clear in the video..
Thanks ! i7 is faster but the CPU is much hot than i5. The difference of temperature is hudge between them.

Ok, Core I5 is not too bad at all...
Neck to neck. But the battery health on the i7 model will decrease quicker.

Why i7 graphics has much better than i5 graphics even if they have same graphics cards??
Integrated or shared graphics are built onto the same chip as the CPU clock speed i7 CPU is faster
