Hey guys,

I am a very satisfied second hand use of a 2012 retina MBP (8gb; 256 SSD).

Since I came back to my uni, however, I notice that the MacBook is quite slow at loading videos on the internet, especially streaming. I would normally blame that on the slow internet connection, offered in the uni accommodation, but a friend of mine with an old Lenovo has no problem in doing that smoothly.

Does that mean that the MBP has a problem? My personal observations are that MacBooks are extremely dependent on the connection - when the internet is fast, they are miles ahead the competition, but when the connection is slower, they struggle quite a bit, especially when Flash player is involved :(.
