Macbook Pro 15 inch: Late 2011 or 2012? Please help

Hi Fellow Mac Enthusiasts, I am in need of your suggestions and comments. I plan on upgrading to a 15 Inch Macbook Pro with in 2 weeks. I can't decide between the Late 2011 Macbook Pro and the Mid 2012 Macbook Pro. I am basically interested in hearing from present owners of either one these two models. I am interested in hearing about overall performance, graphics, speed, etc. Just overall user experience. Just pros and cons from everyday use. Particularly cons- overheating, loudness, etc.
Your feed back will be very well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" with the quad core i7, and ATI HD 6750M 512mb for around $1300 before the retina macbook pros were out. Its a great machine and the overall peformance is quite good. As for graphics I can run all Valve games like Portal 2 and whatnot, at the full 1080p resoloution on an external display without any hiccups, so for what I am looking for in gaming its good. Upgrading ram is a no brainer although for non-retina displays it is easily upgradable but when you get to the rMBP 15" its solderd and cannot be upgraded.
I don't have any problems overheating and the only times it starts to get warm is when I am running intensive games or encoding video.

  • Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 vs Macbook Pro 13 2012

    Hey
    I have a Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 model, its works like charm but my onyl problem with it , its too big for me , i travel a lot and its not really good for portability. I use this mac mainly for coding and developing and playing WoW (in BootCamp) but i play nothing else. So my friend said he is willing to buy from me and i decide to get a new macbook pro but the 13" for portability and its also fair enough for coding but im afraid thats its not enough for playing WoW. My friend pay me 1800€ and i found a brand new Macbook Pro for 1050€ + 300€ (for 256gb ssd and 16gb ram) so its gonna be a fast machine but maybe still not enough for WoW. What should i do?

    The 17" model is one of the last that supports Express/34.
    Thunderbolt does offer more expansion options, but at additional cost.
    Make sure the 13" model you get has built-in optical drive unless you don't use it.
    Make sure any games you develop for support the graphics card of the machine you end up getting.  If they don't, don't expect them to magically work on your machine.
    I typically have found the recommended graphics card is the only one that works.  Minimum graphics card may at random not work, unless you do no multitasking with many games.

  • 20" Apple Monitor - Thunderbolt - MacBook Pro 15" (late 2011)

    I have an Apple 20” monitor with an HDMI cable. I had that monitor connected to my Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) with an HDMI to Mini adapter, and it was working fine as a second monitor.
    I purchased a Thunderbolt monitor to daisy-chain the Thunderbolt monitor to the Apple 20” monitor and end up with a 3 monitor system, but I cannot get it to work.
    This is the way I have them hooked up:
    20” Apple Monitor (HDMI Cable->Mini)  -> Thunderbolt -> MacBook Pro 15” (late 2011)
    The 20”Apple Monitor does not show any image even though it is on and working properly. The Thunderbolt and MacBook Pro displays show the images. How do I connect these?

    You could use a USB to DVI converter

    but performance will be severly limited by USB and some functions won't work

  • Transcend 1TB SSD in MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011)

    Hey Guys,
    I just bought a Transcend SSD 1TB for my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
    I got it for a good price but now I'm unsure if I could use it.
    The SSD i bought is the TS1TSSD370. For more Info click HERE.
    My questions are:
    1. Is the SSD I bought compatible with my MacBook?
    2. Is it a good SSD to use with a MacBook?
    3. Can I use a 1TB SSD? Because on the Apple Specs Site for my MacBook Model it's doesn't say anything about a 1TB SSD.
    4. Do I have to consider anything special when using this SSD?
    It would be really great if someone could help me out!
    Thanks in advance!

    I use the Carbon Copy Cloner method as outlined by BobRz above.
    I'll be installing another SSD (higher capacity) whenever it gets here (Dec 3-Jan. 03) and I'll install the new SSD in my MacBook Pro first and then using my old SSD in an enclosure to transfer data.
    I've had my current internal SSD in my Mac since April of 2012 and my 16GB of RAM since about May of 2012. I've a Crucial SSD (soon, two!) and use Crucial RAM, too.
    You may want to take a peek at my user tip - Ugrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive. It's a bit dated (I'll be udating it pretty soon) but should give you a good start. Currently, I'm recommending Samsung 840 Pros (NOT EVO) and the Crucial M500 series.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro inch 13 (2011) graphic problem

    Please Help me I dont stand why if I buy a MacBook Pro inch 13 (2011) the game "The Sims 3 Pets" have graphics problems, the horses look black and without form. Whith de previous Macbook pro inch 13 with nvidia graphics the game is perfect and now with the most modern the game dont also work. I dont know the problem is Lion SO
    Thanks
    Alejandro

    Apparantly there were some compatibility issues with the Sims3 and Lion. I believe there is a Sims3 update available if I'm not mistaken.

    7. After this events (events 6). Command R, Command Option P+R, Command Option F+O, all other shortcut wont work?
    Please help !!!!!!!,

    I suggest that you boot the MBP OPTION+COMMAND+R.  The display should show a revolving globe.  This will connect you to the Apple servers and will allow you to install the original OSX.  You will need a solid Internet connection.
    Ciao.

  • I have a macbook pro 13' (late 2011) 2.8Ghz Intel i7 memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and have upgraded my OS X Lion to Mavericks. Everything has slowed down. How do I go back to the older OS X Lion? Or should I improve speed differently?

    I have a macbook pro 13’ (late 2011) 2.8Ghz Intel i7 memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and have upgraded my OS X Lion to Mavericks 10.9.5. Everything has slowed down and the battery lasts a bit earlier. How do I go back to the older OS X Lion? Or should I improve speed differently? Would improving memory to 8GB help?

  • What is the max memory allowed on a macbook pro 15" (late 2011), and what speed is the max speed allowed?

    Hello,
    I own a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) and I would like to upgrade the memory. I want to go with two 8gb sticks but if the motherboard only supports 8gb then I will have to stick with 8gb. Also, the ram that I have in currently, which is the 4gb that came with the mac, is 1333 Mz. Would I be able to upgrade to 1600 Mz on this laptop?

    Max is 16 GBs. Do not attempt to use memory with specs that differ from those required by your hardware.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

  • MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

    Hi,
    I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
    When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
    I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
    I tried these things:
    - Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
    - Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
    - SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
    The cable works, because:
    17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
    I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
    After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
    Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
    The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
    Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
    The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
    Sample Video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pgc52syes
    All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
    Any solutions?
    Greets,
    Kai

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) - High Definition Audio Device - Code 10

    Hi, i installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via Boot Camp on my new Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). Driver Disk was installed, but the "High Definition Audio Device" couldn't be started. Status is Code 10. Normal Cirrus Logic Audio is working. Any advice, how this could be fixed? Would be nice, to have audio over the Mini-Displayport HDMI Adapter on Windows as well (Works perfectly with Lion).
    Thanks,
    Thorsten

  • I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

    I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

    I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
    I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
    You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
    Here is a link.
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301
    Other things to check:
    Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

  • How long to boot MacBook pro 13" late 2011?

    It takes 1 minute 30 seconds to startup my macbook pro 13" late 2011 (2.4ghz i5 processor, 4GB RAM)
    This seems like a long time? I have Microsoft Office and Photoshop installed, will this slow it down?
    Thanks!

    if you have a normal hard drive installed - it usually takes a minute to desktop when you power up.
    check your login items to see what's loading when you first power up your Macbook.
    you can also go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found then restart your Macbook. 
    see if that helps your booting time.
    good luck

  • I have macbook pro 13 late 2011.  efi 2.7 not see on software update and if download from site say in not compatible. why? in not compatible. why?

    i have macbook pro 13 late 2011.  efi 2.7 not see on software update and if download from site say in not compatible. why?

    Because your MBP does not require it.

  • Macbook pro 13 late 2011 turns on but no display and light

    Hi i have got macbook pro 13" late 2011 which turns on and i can hear the chime but there is no display and ligh in the screen its completely blank. Anyone had this problem and how did u solve this ?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility and checking to see if the HD needs repairs?
    Restart holding Command + r and at the recovery screen select Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD and click  on 'repair disk'. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. More info here about the Recovery HD:

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) Bottom Plate Bulging

    Hello there,
    I own a Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). I have had it for sometime now.
    I noticed that the bottom plate (the piece of aluminum that can be removed) is slightly loose in the front. There is a slight retreat when I press down on it. This is not happening to my newer Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro.
    I heard that this can be caused by a swelling battery?! My battery has around 350 cycles on it.
    Should I be concerned? Is it necessary to take it to an Apple Store and have them take a look at it??
    Thanks for your answers in advance.

    That could be the case. It wouldn't hurt to have them evaluate it at an Apple Store as the appointment is free.
