Chosen Solution
Just trying to get some opinions on if I should upgrade some parts (such as ram, memory,etc) or just look at buying a new one
Upgrade to 16 GB of RAM. (2 - 8GB sticks) RAM Type:PC3-10600 DDR3Min. RAM Speed:1333 MHz SSD Serial ATA (6 Gb/s) the Samsung 860 QVO drive would work well Change the hard drive I/R cable to the 2012 model for the faster data transfer MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Mid 2012) Hard Drive Cable Use Coconut Battery to examine your battery and post your results. Get about 5 more years of service from this excellent. well built and repairable machine.
Hi @jbomb First of all, perhaps you should think what you are using for. For Basic stuff, it is good for a over-all, If there is no major fault or issues you can check using apple hardware test before you decide on the next step. Just like mine, I maxed out the Memory RAM capacity and upgraded to SSD. My system is the MBP 2012 model 15” with ODD Battery changed out as it was worn out, but in general good for most application to do.
