About This Mac

 Apple continued the production of the MacBook Pro in late 2012. They introduced the MacBook Pro MD313LL/A with a Core i5 processor that kept upgrading to core i7 MD311LL A. This MacBook also comes with 8 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3 – 10600) and 500 GB of hard drive space. This device includes the Thunderbolt standard port that supports 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions and is also used by peripherals to support resolutions as high as 2560×1600 and audio signals. 

The MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.4 13-Inch (Mid 2012) features a 32 nm "Sandy Bridge" 2.4 GHz Intel "Core i5" processor (2435M), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 3 MB shared level 3 cache, an 8X DL "SuperDrive", an Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor that shares 384 MB of memory with the system, an integrated FaceTime HD webcam, and an LED-backlit 13.3" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" display (1280x800 native resolution)

Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire "800" port, two USB 2.0 ports, audio in/out, an SDXC card slot, and a "Thunderbolt" port that is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort and, likewise, supports an external display at 2560x1600 and passes an audio signal. Thunderbolt also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.

This model uses a "Unibody" aluminum case design -- milled from a single piece of aluminum -- and has a backlit keyboard, a "no button" glass "inertial" multi-touch trackpad, and a non-swappable battery design.

Compared to its predecessor, this model is identical with the exception of a faster processor and a larger standard hard drive.
