Known quirks
- Sold for four years — last MBP with an optical drive or user-upgradable RAM/SSD
- Max 16 GB officially; swap the HDD for SSD to keep it relevant
- Battery swell is near-universal by now
- MagSafe 1 frays
- Retina replaced everything else but this kept selling to people who wanted ports
