2012 was an interesting year for Macs. Everything got slimmer, we lost the DVD drives, and we got better looking displays.
Oh yeah yeah
At least we still had the unibodys for the last year

Who’s watching this in 2024?
I recently bought one of these in mint condition as my daily driver, that screen is just brilliant!
I am and it feels good watching this 12 years apart from the original upload year
A🍎🍒🍑🎀🌹🎀🎷aapapap
Back in 2012 I upgraded my 13” 2011 MBP to the 2012 15”, wow it was a crazy good machine for back in the day, you could tell it was really special with the display, and it was pretty powerful (no way you’re getting a 6+ core CPU in a laptop or consumer desktop in 2012)... doesn’t have that same feeling when I got my 2019 16”, just felt like getting any other computer, other than the Touch Bar which is meh, really it didn’t set itself apart from the other laptops.
I've always looked at those speakers as cheese graters!LOL
As always one of the best reviews I have ever seen! Keep it up :)
Damn, I can't wait for this thing to arrive, I'm so excited!
Windows 8 is just so shit,now ill get a macbook
nah
no not lazy, i've got windows 7 now, but I would like something new.
I do use photoshop and illustrator a lot but my current HP notebook just about works with that but it's not as fast as I would like to.
indeed, and i've got the money, and i like the design better.
what are you on about mate? and its not like everyone can afford a macbook pro.. and btw im only 17.
Living this nostalgia out. Miss your content Mike.
I just bought my 2013 13 inch MacBook Pro yesterday and I have to say so far it's amazing! I used to have a 2011 11 inch MacBook Air, but I gave that one to my dad. I got my new laptop with the 250 or so gigs and it does me fine. The screen is extremely crisp and I can see everything extremely well. It runs Minecraft as well as DiRT 2 without the fan going on too much. I highly recommend you buy one, if you can shell out $1,700+
Getting my 1st MBP tomorrow. Enjoyed the video. I am also in Rochester Hills.
I use a PC. Its got the Windows 8.1 on it now. It's great. This morning I found that it erased all my data from my hard drive overnight. Then a couple of restarts and approximately 3 hours of idk-what-the-fucking-fuckery after it all got back. Did I say it's great? Also its a high end laptop with 2.7GHz and 4GB RAM yet it still takes about 6 minutes (!) to start up and an additional 3minutes to 1.5 hours (according to how often the message comes up "Please wait we're preparing you desktop 15%............" ). Shutting down is also easy. Now. Before it took me 30 minutes to look up where the fuck is the shut down button. Two of my 6 months old USB port don't work anymore. I hardly ever used them anyway. It's very clever it is. I don't know how to turn off the screens automatic adjustment so when I watch a movie it constantly changes from dimmed to very bright. Love this feature. This is only what happened in the last 48 hours. I had this laptop for almost 6 months now. Its a HP ProBook (lol). You should buy one refurbished. Right after I sent it the fuck back somehow and get a fucking Apple like I was supposed to 6 months ago.
That's my point in wanting a mac. it fucking WORKS!
I love the PC fanboys here who are saying "I can build a computer that will knock your socks off" but we aren't talking about desktop builds, we're talking about a laptop that is thin and light while still able to do demanding tasks like movie and photo editing. Heck, for some of us we don't even care about your "super desktop builds", some of us are aren't looking for a supercomputer here, we're also looking for a great OS with a easy to use UI. So shut up about your PC preaching, nobody except the real Mac @$$holes who give meaning to the word "fanboy" will care.
I have a "PC That will knock your socks off" and im saving for a mac aswell lol
I have a PC that will knock Barack Obama's socks off
Garrett payne
Dell? Hell no HP is better
Garrett payne alien ware is pretty over priced too. Also, a lot of gaming laptops are just too bulky to be portable.
TheEnderKidTZX The point with desktops is that for the for the price you pay for a apple desktop, you can have a 'pc' that will perform at a considerably higher level. You may not want super computing power, so you are just paying too much for what you get when you buy a mac. You can build the exact same pc for about a third of the cost that Apple charges for their products. Of course if you are an Apple fanboy, that will never, ever make any sense to you.
10 years later, that design stands the test of time (expect for poor cooling and the anti reflective coating)
thanks for actually answering my question. people forget that not everyone uses macs and this will be my first time getting one.
Anybody wants to buy my kidney? Very good condition, only 20 years used.
Sure I'll buy it, I just need someone to diagnose me with a kidney disease, then I'll be happy to buy it xD
Finally getting macBook Pro mid 2012 retina display after 1 week in 2019. 😌
Ameet Shrestha you should get the unibody as the mid 2012 Retinas have a faulty voltage controller to power the discrete GPU, meaning if it’s broken then the mid 2012 Retina is pretty much unusable. So it’s better to buy a used mid 2012 unibody.

thumps up if you play minecraft on macbook pro
I PLAY MINECRAFT!!!!!!! :) I use a windows though also I have no internet for a long time
oh, ok Good! :)
How many fps?
50-200 :D
yeah you can play minecraft
I never ever thought that I would 'convert' to Apple (and certainly not at my age).
I bought this last Autumn 2012. I must say it's a piece of art. Every single day I am happy to see it and work on it all day long. The battery is amazing.
Recommended for me in June 2020 😂 can always watch some crisp Detroitborg 😍
im getting mine tommorow YASSS !!
macs are better than pc's I own a macbook air and I love it so much I used to have a pc and it was putting stuff in the trash automatically I hated it macs are better
Can macbook play most of the steam games?
Yea macs can run lots of games
shuvo rahman lol.. no
It's funny how I thought Macs could play games (when I posted these comments about 3 years ago). In fact, I didn't even know what Steam was, yet I still replied to say that Macs can run a lot of games.
To me, then, games were just things like Minecraft, and other basic games; however, I obviously didn't realise that the gaming world is much larger, and that Macs are not the machines geared towards these tasks.
i'm getting a macbook pro for christmas non retina :D
LOL SAME!
Cool! I'm so excited :P
Passed down my 2012 retina 15 MBP to one of the kids few years ago and other than a short battery life it’s still going strong
It just works the way you expect! I am not a apple fan boy, I grew up with a windows, and it is just awesome! I loved the way it felt when I had money to upgrade my PC, just awesome!! I got my first Mac on 2011, when I joined Uni I made some research and found out that mac was my thing ( for performance and stuff ). For 3 hole years it worked, same as the first boot! And now I will definitely get me a brand new MBR I don't like brands, I like thing that works.
Slimmm... O.o
Apple is better then Samsung and Android .. Love Apple ❤️
Didn't age well
9 years later and apple has become stagnant.
Wow, it's amazing to see how far you've come in your video production. Also, how you've optimised your script.
Back in the day I watched this vid on repeat dreaming about unboxing it myself
Im thinking about getting one on ebay for 200€ just as a gift for my old self 😂
This is the best laptop I have ever owned. I absolutely love it and worth every single penny hands down. So light and easy to carry around.
2012: Wow, the Pro is so thin!
2022: *The MacBook Air M2 is still a tad too thick*
so all this time your eyes were without a retina ? ohh congratulations and may the heavens bless the person whoever donated his retinas to you !
Easy for the knowledge on keyboard key for power. That's where the DVD drive eject button was, so you take out the DVD drive, you take out the eject, so they put the power button to fill in the spot.
Watching this on my 16" M1 Pro
i saved up and splurged on a 15 in retina macbook, holy shit the display is mind blowing, HD content looks stunning
It's always been my dream to own a 15 inch MBP 😭😭😭
+Muhammad Zulkifli Bin Ramil you'll get there one day, keep working hard!
+15estrem 😊
+Muhammad Zulkifli Bin Ramil yes im to want diss!
***** Muhammad Zulkifli Bin Ramil exactly. Don't get a mpb only because it's apple and a lot of people have one. Get it because it has a great operating system, ease of use, reliability, battery life. It really depends on your needs. I use mine for uni and I love using it everyday. It's the computer I always use because it's easy to organise, easy to find files. I left windows for productivity as it was a head ache to use, too difficult for me to use. Programs like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are essential to create awesome content easily. I definitely recommend the mbp for stuff like work. But for gaming windows all the way. You'll only be disappointed for using a mbp if you're using it for gaming!
***** oh really? which parts of the mbp did you not like?
Quick question: What do you do with your older laptops?
You completely dropped the ball on this one. All the geeks were waiting on the speed test.
I ordered a Macbook Pro 15" Retina on Friday and I can't wait for it to arrive!!!
Lol i am too! Getting a 15inch 8gb RAM macbook pro this weekend! Good luck newly proclaimed mac user!!!
I am really enjoying watching these videos. The classical DetroitBorg presentation style.😊👍
Still own a 2013 model, still works great, the display and design still looks so good even after 10 years, although I’m not using it for working anymore, but it still does great and on daily basics tasks.
Absolutely Agree, I have both a Mac and a PC, both very high specced, (this machine in fact) and a Gaming PC and I love them both. The PC I can play games and get some work done. Then I can go to my Macbook Pro and relax, video edit and work.
What I have noticed however is that it is usually, and I get it's not all of the time, but usually it is the PC users picking at the Mac users creating the arguement. I love PC and Windows, but 'hate' the Users, especially when they haven't used a Mac too.
i have seen loots of unboxes and tours but yours are the best !!!!
Flash architecture, thickness, weight, portability. The Retina display reduces glare up to 75 percent while maintaining incredible color and quality. In fact, it has a 29 percent higher contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro display. Blacks are blacker. Whites are whiter. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you’ll see the difference at practically any angle.
Great review. I was immersed as if i was watching a movie. Too bad it was too short... keep up the great work.
Great review. Don't like the fact that they got rid of the DVD driver slot on the MacBook Pro, and now we're required to buy a separate external Superdrive.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Other macbooks were nice since they didn't suck air from the bottom so I didn't worry about putting them on carpet etc for a while, but this I'd be worried about.
I bought the newest 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I bought the maxed out version and it cost me $3800.00 and I have no regrets whatsoever!
it is totally worth it, Kyle Snyder, maybe not to you, but this is AWESOME. And when you need it, it comes in handy!
Another positive attribute of using a mac is that the mac's operating system does not slow down over time(windows 7 does slow down). OS 10 stays the same speed no matter how old the install is.
He does professional reviews on them...For items that aren't sent as review samples, he could buy and return them after a review :P
And some of the stuff is probably for production and personal use.
Everyone is our school gets one of these next year! So excited!
You deserve a medal for what you have said.
At the beginning of the video you correctly protect your serial no. But at 13:35 you show it up to everyone! lol
You have to hold the power button for it to turn off, if you press it then it will ask you if you want to shut down, restart, sleep or cancel.
The Haswell version is $200 cheaper. And it is much better if you're getting the 15-inch. Getting one for Christmas.
the MBP has an retina display (it cost very expensive),remember the SSD makes the price more expensive,and the aluminum material too
I'm getting an upgrade from the MBPro to a MBPro with Retina Display tomorrow! The quality is great for artist! If you think it's pointless get yourself a PC their not that bad their really bulky, 5x less clearer, cheap prices, many varieties that won't get helped like a MacBook Pro 1 line product.
The display difference is amazing!
I'm getting one today ! Thanks for the review and tour!
Just bought my macbook today... Watching this on it right now ^__^
one other thing you will notice with new mac is that the operating syste(os 10.8) only uses 8gb of hard drive space. This is amazing considering windows 7 takes up roughly 30gb of hard drive space.
Apple has a history of ditching stuff. Floppy Disks with the first gen iMac, DVD and ethernet with the first gen MacBook Air. I am suprised people didnt see this coming.
1:47 it contains my cereal Is your cereal apple jack, corn flake, fruit loop??
Getting this when the refresh comes out.
I prefer the 13". The 15" seems a little too big and uncomfortable. Can't wait for the refreshed line of Macbooks this Fall :)
It doesn't take you long to get used to it. It took me about two days to fully use os x and I have never used a mac before in my life.
not too sure if a $2200 laptop that is a little bit thinner with less ports and no CD drive is a joke, or.....
depends on what you intend on using it for. i was in the same boat as you, when it came down to it, i compromised and got the retina pro 15". its really light for 15", comfortable (it does get hot though at times). in the end it came down to the haswell air vs retina 15. the screen, power and the fact that it only weighs a pound and a half more than the air sealed the deal. i never considered an ipad as a replacement, i just dont see it as such as it was never advertised to be a replacement.
I am not sure..but I guess you r the best at unboxing tour and review
I bought one today , now prepared for shipment !!!
Thank u for this. My dad said he'd get me one!!! Im soooo excited!!! Ahhhh
Did you get it 8 years later
Coming from 2018, the oversized trackpad just gotten even bigger now
Do I buy one of these with 16GB RAM in perfect condition for $400?
There is finally a worthy competitor to this laptop. The Razer Blade 14
awesome review
i just got me retina today 2,6ghz , and its just amazing
yea, true, but the 15" has better specs, is it a good trade off?
An HP with almost identical specs costs roughly 1500$ (HP dv6t-7000 quad edition), but that's without the retina display, battery life, flash storage and build quality of a Mac.
Thank You Mic... Very Informative
I though of the same thing at first, but modern notebooks don't need it for it's rare usage, and it's excessive weight, but you can purchase an independent cd drive from apple ;)
Yes, you can build a BEAST DESKTOP. But if you want a notebook then you're out of luck. Notebooks with the "same" hardware as a desktop (graphics and so on) are almost always more expensive than their desktop counter parts. Just look at 3.5" 1TB drives and 2.5" 1TB drives - they're a lot pricier.
Getting this at best buy for 1,199 15.4 8GB 256GB SSD core i7 2.7 Ghz cant wait!!!
i have got a new 15" MBP Retina a few days back but I have not got the wallpaper which u are showing in this review.This wallpaper looks gorgeous.From where can I get it ?
Getting mine next tuesday! Can't believe I got a 15 inch
I'm getting the 15" 2.7 GHz as a graduation gift. I just have to wait 2 or 3 weeks till it arrives :D
just the display, it has much bigger resolution on the same screen size, hence the display looks very sharp.
well, if you are a mac user you won't need it that much. Since almost all applications can be bought and downloaded online and operation system found on USB stick, you won't need it except few times maybe if you bought a video game or want to install windows. I personally have been using my macbook pro 2010 and never used the optical drive, I even replaced it with an SSD. I accept sacrificing the optical bay for more slim MBP,just buy external cd drive, it's cheaper and easy to replace if failed
Well, you can't really compare standard parts that are buyable online etc. with the custom build components (main board especially.) that is used in most Macs (I think the only exception is the Mac Pro). In most of Apples computers, they use components that are built especially for them (to match their design goals/self set goals etc). That is another reason that adds to the price of a Mac.
I agree with you, but I do love Apple's Support and OS X. I also just feels really good to use (if that doesn't sound too childish). Also, why do you think some rich people buy things like solid gold hot tubs. It's not because it works better, but also because it looks nicer and you can sort of 'show off' to other people. That's sort of my point of view.
You are a great Michael!!!!!
You're probably getting to the point where RUclips pays for your gadgetry Mike haha.
I saving up! I'm getting one for university well my mien said I could!
My new Mac comes in 5 days can't wait
At the end of the day there are certain things that the Mac will always be better for. For example, as a graphic designer, I wouldn't go near any other laptop unless necessary, my macs the only one i'd reach for
He gets excited everytime he sees the stickers XD
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the comments
It costs about $1,199 for the lowest one. The most expensive MacBook Pro can go for about $1,799 in US dollars.
If you wanna get a Mac for whatever reason, don't get the 21.5" iMac. It's not that much better than this old PC I'm writing on right now. Don't let the lower pricetag compared to the 27" fool you, the 27" lets you upgrade your RAM which you can buy very cheaply on amazon and get 32GB, freaking amazing. I found out that buying the iMac from Apple's store was cheaper than third party even though I still have to buy a Swedish Apple keyboard... Plan before you buy.
