The 17” LED-backlit screen has a lot of real estate. It’s 1920x1080 (full HD). Yes, my iPad Pro is so much better, but no, a Macbook Pro retine 13” isn’t has good (from the late 2012 to 2016 era). 17” is the perfect size in my opinion. 15.6” was always too small for me.

The magic thing with this generation of Macbook Pro is the keyboard. Yes, it is that good. No, nothing came close to it after 2012. Even the retina 2012+ wasn’t has good as the magical keyboard of this generation of Macbook Pro.

I got so many good things to say about this generation of laptop. For one, you can fix it yourself, or upgrade it. You simply unscrew the bottom, and voila. You can change the HDD easily, the RAM, the battery, etc.

You can change the battery by yourself.
