macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 hard drive upgrade

That machine originally came with 4GB which isn't enough to run macOS now at all.

You need at least 8GB of Ram because you'll use close to that doing just basic stuff like homework. That looks like a decent little machine for doing homework on and the Ram has been upgraded to 8GB and it has an SSD which are the things you need to be looking for in 2020. There's a 13-inch Mid 2012 Non-Retina here with a 2.5GHz Dual Core i5, 8GB of Ram and a 250GB SSD for $300. It's gonna be very hard to find a good iMac with an SSD for $350 so I would stick to laptops. You need to be looking for a slightly newer iMac or even an old MacBook Pro because that will probably give you the best value for the money. That's probably why the stock AMD Card was swapped for a third party Quadro k2000m that isn't officially supported on this iMac or any Macs at all. In early February 2006, Apple confirmed reports of video display problems on the new Intel-based iMacs. The Mid 2011 iMac is probably one of the worst Macs you can buy used because of the common graphics failures that happen on these machines. Alongside the MacBook Pro, the iMac Core Duo represents Apples first computer to feature Intel processors instead of PowerPC processors.It retained the style, design, and features of the preceding iMac G5. You need something with an SSD because it will perform much better and be much faster than a Hard Drive. Definitely stay away from it because that graphics card is a custom aftermarket upgrade fro the stock AMD Cards that would have been in these.
