[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1842476, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Pothypine[/B] - coming in late to your thread and after many posts from some of our most experienced hardware experts - but, just wanted to add some thoughts for your consideration: 1) first pic below appears to be your 2012 MBPro showing the 500 GB HDD (spinner) - more details [URL="https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.5-13-mid-2012-unibody-usb3-specs.html"]HERE[/URL]; and 2) RAM may not be upgraded if soldered - don't know - others can confirm. As to your Apps/Programs, suggestions have been given, but let to throw out an option that others may help to confirm, i.e. a bootable clone of your present HDD - I use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) for backups - may be a consideration, so let's see how our experts respond? For checking your battery, download [URL="https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/"]Coconut Battery[/URL] - see 2nd pic below of the app showing my MBAir's battery stats - cycle count and battery life (percent ratio of current full charge capacity over design capacity) are the important factors. Now, I'm not adding much already suggested but the pics and links may help you better understand. Finally, [URL=https://www.macsales.com]OWC[/URL] (Other World Computing) is a great place for Apple equipment - check the website and give them a call as to your possible drive and RAM updates.
