how can you say that it's not future proof. If you have good hardware in your mbp then it should be future proof. Unless they start making apps that require 12gb ram and **** that you don't have now. But other than that, it should be future proof. Just get the high-end of what you have. This is why when I got my imac, I maxed it out. A lot of people on here believe, if you don't have a new mbp every year they release it, then you can't use your old one or something. If you're computer performs the same job that the new one does, it's future proof. You're welcome. :)

P.S. And I said the same job, not the same thing. So don't respond and say well the 2012 one is going to fart and piss to exert heat inside the computer. I'm talking about, if you need your computer for Final Cut or other Apps, your computer is future proof if your computer can perform the same duties that you'd do on the new one.
 
SSD vs HDD

Every Mac with an SSD lasts longer into the future ("future proof") than Mac with HDD. Considering how many people still buy Macs with HDD, buying an SSD catapults you into the future now.
