[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1638866, member: 319021"] Sorry I misread your initial post where you mention looking for an i7 CPU. This will drive the price of the machine up. Do not buy a listing from Apple with the SSD already in the computer. This part is upgradeable by you and you will get a better price if you supply the SSD on your own. The 2012 MBP has held its value well because it is the last user-upgradeable Macbook. The listing @ $1109 is a fairly good price for this computer. Ivy Bridge Quad-Core i7 is still a very good processor. You may need to resort to private forum trading or an auction website to shave $200 off that price tag. I won't say it is impossible if someone is looking to sell but again these computers have held their value well because they can be upgraded. The extra money is probably worth it to have Apple warranty and to make sure you are buying a computer reasonably free of physical defects Do not shop for the 8 GB of RAM preinstalled unless it is a custom job from someone selling their personal unit.
