A MagSafe power adapter helps prevent any damage from jerked or snagged cables, a feature that you won't find on Windows laptops. An integrated SD card reader lets you snag files off of a memory card (SD/SDHC/SDXC), and you also get headphone and microphone jacks.

The MacBook Pro 15-inch (Mid-2012) expands upon the MacBook's connectivity options by upgrading to two USB 3.0 ports-a step up from the slower USB 2.0 ports seen on previous iterations-and also includes Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800 and a speedy 10 Gbps Thunderbolt port that does double duty as a mini-DisplayPort for connecting an external monitor. Similarly, although Apple's built-in speakers offer clear sound with minimal distortion at high volume, they are outdone by the 6.1-channel Beats Audio and integrated subwoofer found in the HP Envy 15. While Apple's 15-inch 1,440-by-900 resolution is better than the ones you'll find on cheaper desktop replacements, it's easily topped by the Dell XPS 15's 1,920-by-1,080 display. The Dell XPS 15 and HP Envy 15 (2012) both draw heavily upon Apple's design, but both use a slightly beveled edge around the palmrest, which is more comfortable than Apple's hard edge. The slimmer Retina-equipped MacBook Pro may supplant this design, but only incorporates the smallest of differences. With so many other similar designs showing up in the laptop aisle, it might be worth Apple's time to consider whether or not the look of the MacBook Pro has gotten a little tired. The glass-surfaced trackpad remains the best, offering extensive multitouch gesture controls and a clickpad that is the envy of other premium laptop manufacturers. While the keyboard is comfortable to type on, we've felt better, including the keyboard on the Dell XPS 15 (Summer 2012), which adds a slight curvature to the flat tile keycap design for a more comfortable feel. Like these older models, the Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15-inch features a backlit chiclet keyboard and glass surfaced trackpad. While the trained eye will be able to spot the differences in port selection, the newest MacBook Pro is otherwise indistinguishable from last year's Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt). It measures the same 0.95 by 14.3 by 9.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.6 pounds-the sole exception to this is the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which trims the thickness to 0.71 of an inch and drops the weight to 4.46 pounds. The MacBook Pro 15-inch (Mid-2012) is instantly recognizable-it looks virtually identical to every iteration of the MacBook Pro 15-inch that we've seen since 2008.

But the newest model doesn't get the new screen or the fraction-of-an-inch slim-down seen on the Editors' Choice Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Retina Display)-with a look that hasn't changed in five years and so many competitors aping Apple designs, isn't the MacBook Pro due for a design update? The $1,799.00 (direct) price tag puts it in competition with some of the best desktop replacements we've reviewed, but the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch still holds its own with a great user experience and solid performance. The latest Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Mid-2012), updates the classic laptop with Intel's latest third-generation quad-core processor and adds USB 3.0 connections, which are arguably much more useful than the niche Thunderbolt port that Apple has invested so heavily in.
