- Mid 2012 MBP i7 2.6 GHz 16GB Ram Catalina. iPad Air 2, iPhone 12
I have just bought a refurbished 2011 MBP with 2nd gen i7 2.2 QC. The machine is in great condition but i am having some issues. When I boot up I get the usual apple logo and progress bar but when it get to just over 50% loading the screen goes black for a few seconds and then comes up on the login page and i can login ok and all seems normal. All my previous Macs have completed 100% on the progress bar before login. Some apps take about 5/10 seconds before opening but once open page switching is normal. A couple of years ago I had a mid 2010 MBP with a i5 2.53 dual core processor which was faster. Would the difference between 2.2 & 2.53 be that noticeable or have I got a problem? I have upgraded sierra to high sierra, made sure i don't have apps that start automatically at login, cleared caches and run antivirus but still the same. I had thought maybe HD or logic board problem, or am I just expecting too much? If it is HD then no worries, I was going to upgrade to an SSD anyway.
