Hi everyone,

I am looking MBP for my wife and got good offer on used MBP 13" late 2011. Do you think that it would worth to get late 2011 instead of mid 2012? In term of expandability and performance, is the difference with mid 2012 significant?
Does late 2011 have bugs / common problem compared to 2012, or vice versa?

I heard mid 2012 is the latest cMBP before apple replace it with rMBP.

Thanks.
 
the '12 will have USB 3 and a better integrated graphics card. The '11 is still going to be a more than capable computer.

^This.

All other things being equal, I'd prefer a 2012, but if the price is right on the 2011 go for it!
 
Hi, thanks for the comments. I finally take late 2011. The difference with 2012 is still around 200
