Which brings up a great point about buying old pooters.I knew to skip the G5 and go from G4 to Intel! Plenty of great running G5s out there, as well as great running 2011 MBPs, but why not make the percentage move? I think the last fiasco like that at Apple was the G5, which averaged 17-18% failure rates IIRC through the range of models due to motherboard and power supply failures. Not only reading about the petitions r/t the '11, but also seeing the number of models on eBay with motherboard replacements. The 2011 takes the prize for all time most number of hardware failures for any modern 'Book! They're great machines performance wise, and definitely my first choice as the Sandy Bridge quads were the first kickass i7s, but I had to put out a couple hundred more for the 2012. I researched my MBP purchase for literally a month! There are issues with a % of every 'Book, but the number of issues with the 2012 MBP **pale** in comparison with the 2011.
I tried Yosemite but couldn't even finish getting it installed because it broke iTunes and the App Store! Mavericks is working much better for me, but your mileage will vary as reports are all over the place. I always look for a seller who owned the machine who has 100% feedback.someone with a 100% rating who doesn't have thousands of feedbacks is going to want to keep their perfect score.
#2014 MACBOOK PRO PRO#
I would look on eBay and expect to pay anywhere from $1000 if you're very lucky to $1300 for a tricked out version. The specific products include 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models produced in mid-2013 and early 2014, as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro produced in mid-2014. If you look on eBay, tons of 2011 models have had motherboard replacements, and I've heard of people replacing them more than once. I was going to get a 2011 because it seemed to be the sweet spot in terms of price/performance, but couldn't chance it. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2021 using preproduction 16-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 Max, 10-core CPU, and 32-core GPU, as well as production 2.4GHz 8-core Intel Core i9-based 16-inch MacBook Pro systems with Radeon Pro 5600M graphics with 8GB of HBM2, all configured with 64GB of RAM and 8TB SSD. I would recommend a 2012 MacBook Pro, as quite a few of the 2011 models ended up with motherboard failures related to overheating. Also, quad i7 rules the day, you'll kick yourself for getting anything less if you can afford it.
