MacBook Pro Mid 2010 15"
1 of 1 found this helpful I'm writing this review for the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" which I bought used, but still in great condition.
Overall this MacBook Pro is fantastic, coming from a 13" Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook (non-Pro), and having used a Mid 2009 Pro until somebody else spilled water on it. The screen is wildly vivid in comparison to the 2008 MacBook, and seems marginally nicer than the 2009. The trackpad clicks much more solidly than the 2008, and there are backlit keys which was very welcome after having to go back to the 2008 MacBook. I decided to spring for a 2010 because I like Apple's older hardware better but still need to be able to use modern macOS, and also because it better fit my price range.
My unit has 8 GB of RAM installed, although 4GB is the standard. I've also upgraded to a 500GB HDD from the 320GB that came with it.
Overall, if you're looking for a nice machine that's slightly older (and cheaper) but still serves its purpose well as a Pro machine, as a "Steve Jobs era" Apple fangirl, I would recommend a Mid 2010 or 2012 MacBook Pro 15"
