I bought this 13 Inch 2013 Macbook Pro for about $450. How's it treating me here in late 2019? Pretty darn well it turns out. Follow me on Twitter at / markspurrellyt !

The design is still modern to this day, looks cleaner to me than the new ones.

If u compare 6 years old laptop windows with this mac, u gonna see that apple was ahead of time.

with the same processor, amount of ram and SSD? nah man, nah...im using both since 2007, tbh my windows laptop still one step ahead.

@irfandy4hmad 4 года назад

I mean if u look at the design, build quality & display its much better compare to most of 6 years windows laptop. The slimness & lightweight

@JannikPitt 4 года назад

Huh? No in 2013 there were already very good Windows laptops. My Thinkpad is even older and quality wise on par (or in some instances ahead) to Macbooks from that era.

@bloodbath4087 4 года назад

It really depends on the price of the laptop, but I can agree that apple has better build quality.

@JoJoJoker 4 года назад

Right! Just got my first MacBook coming from Windows where they feel old after like 2 years. Recently bought a 2014 MacBook Pro 256 gig/8 gig. It's very fast, screen quality is amazing, battery life is good (I can watch about 5-6 hours of Netflix). Amazingly they're now selling for $150 more than I paid about a month ago (mine was $625 refurbished from Amazon + $75 2 -year protection plan). Bought a clear case for like $12 on Amazon. It lifts it up a tad and has vent holes which keep the temperature down. *Only gripe* : no Touch ID. Laptops had this feature back in 2007 or earlier.

It is also one with Retina display and USB A ports perfect for legacy devices. Will probably stick with these for another decade. Super worth it for lawschool, work and entertainment.

I’m a graphic designer for a small business and just upgraded to a 2013 15.4 inch MBP. I owned a 13 inch 2015 a few years ago and sold it, the 2013 15.4 performs noticeably better than the 2015. I’m not a big gamer, but during the covid-19 stay at home order I’ve been playing Diablo 3 with absolutely no issues or lag and it looks gorgeous. I wish there was a CD drive so I could burn CDs, but unfortunately CDs are almost obsolete these days. It runs Photoshop and Illustrator together with no issues. No complaints with the machine at all! Love the longevity of MacBooks, I was using a 2009 with an SSD directly before upgrading, and it too could run PS and AI together. Great product, and for the $400 I paid it can’t be beat.

@Ambienfinity 4 года назад

Really interesting analysis, Mark. I've just acquired the 2020 MBP 10th Gen model, and I'm hoping it will see me out professionally (I retire in 2023) and also keep me amused as a daily driver watching movies and also composing on Logic.

@Xeyph 4 года назад

I still got mine, exact same configuration and everything. Got it when I was still in school for graphic design (like one of the other commenters haha) then I graduated and got a job as a designer and it still works flawlessly and just as fast as when I bought it. It wasn't perfect of course, I had to replace the speakers because one was blown after I removed my headphones and it was at full volume. Thankfully it was a very easy repair. Later the battery crapped out and had to replace that too, pretty easy if you know how, I had to use a strong string to get it out of all the glue but it worked in the end. Aside from that it's been awesome! That said I still bought a new windows laptop last year for design work because I wanted more performance to edit videos.

My only issues with it are this. The laptop does run a bit hot when using for a long time, maybe 2-3 hours. The battery didn’t last as long as I hoped but, the newest update of macOS Catalina 10.15.5 this month made it much better! Keep in mind this is just specific to my Macbook Pro Hope this helps!

I had to get the battery changed as the old one swellled and interfered with the track pad. The repair shop guy told me to run it on battery to prevent that. I might call Apple about the screen but otherwise, I am happy with it and hope it will run for a long time.

I bought (2 years ago) a mid-2014 MB Pro with 16 gigs of RAM. Upgraded ssd to 500 gigs. Daily driver (only use my iPad Pro on vacation) and it rarely (spinning ball) lets me down. Am going to give my nephew when I buy a 14" MB Pro this year.

One thing great about Apple is that it never goes out of style. well at least a decade yet still useful and durable.

Does this come with a free video editor program?

@HuskIsDum 4 года назад

I might get one of these laptops for portable editing

This is my go-to machine, the best laptop Apple has ever made. I've got the 2.6 quad core with 16gb of ram, but I'm due for a new battery. I'm going to buy one on eBay and swap it out myself.

I'm buying a late 2013 Macbook Pro tomorrow, with an i5, 16GB ram and a 250gb ssd. It seems like the perfect workhorse for me, as I'm a media student and need to edit things on the go a lot.

@simp.joseph 4 года назад

GKT Pictures so did you buy it? everything works great then ? i’m about to get one but 8gb ram and 256gb ssd for my highschool years. is it ideal ?

Is the early 2013 macbook pro really different from the late 2013?

@marcusgrandon3640 4 года назад

Still happily running my Late 2013 13-inch. Geekbench 5 score of 689 (single) and 1547 (multi-core). Every time I check the specs of newer MarBook Pros and get out my credit card, I just smile and put the card back into my wallet unused. Running 2.4 GHz Core i5 that I bought as a base model with 16 GB of RAM. Upgraded to 500 GB SSD a year ago, and it's been great. The only real problem is that the speakers are blown, so I have to use an external blue tooth speaker or headphones. Original screen still OK, but a small bit in the corner of the black bezel is starting to show wear, but not on the viewing area. This is my main machine, and I abuse it. Love the keyboard; it's never been a problem. Editing huge photos in lightroom, and can edit in FCP. I love the ports, but in reality you still need to carry dongles for VGA anyway.

So after years of being a die hard EDM fan I decided to get into some music production myself, mostly as a hobby but if I’m good at it who knows. Anyways I just ordered the 2013, 15 inch with the quad processor, 16gigs of ram, and 512gig ssd. Cost me $900 on eBay. I’m guessing it’s safe to say I picked the right computer for my intended uses?

I still use my Late 2013 MacBook Pro to this day 8GB RAM DDR3 256GB SSD i5-4258U Intel Iris 1556MB I love it still to this day. It's been my daily driver forever. It's such an amazing device.

They are! Especially if you're using an external display and you have it upgraded.

@alangallardo1278 4 года назад

@@shrek6811 if you wanna feel the Mac experiencie, learn how to use a Mac and use something different than Windows you should definetly buy it, 2012-2015 are the best Mac's, MBP 2012 is totally worth it still in 2019
