Hey, new here. All help, advice and recommendations appreciated.
Looking to buy this macbook pro just wanted to know if its worth it
Retina Macbook Pro mid 2012 15"
2.3GHZ i7
16GB RAM
15"
256GB SSD
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536MB
Overall condition is pretty good, minor dent/scratches here and there. The battery however will most likely need a replacement. Only last 30 mins on a full charge.. its going for about 440 USD after some negotiating, what do you all think.
My other option is
Retina Macbook Pro mid 2012 15"
2.6GHZ i7
8GB RAM
500GB SSD
2012 model, dont know specifics
Battery is at around 200 life cycles but says service battery, same aesthetics damage roughly, and around 350USD
I was leaning towards 16GB RAM since its not upgradable on either of the two, cause was concerned 8GB may not be enough in 2-3 years. Also, i'm not really a power user, casual use and some work related use, no video/photo editing related tasks. Thanks in advance!
*i'm aware late 2013 is better, considering batteries are easier to replace and all but thats going for roughly 700-750 USD, not sure if its worth the extra cash up front.
