It is slightly wider, and *will not* fit into the connector on the logic board without modification. The 2012 MBP's use a slightly different connector than all of the previous generations. I ran into an issue with the display connector.
This did not cause an issue, and wifi still works great. There are only two wifi antennas on the 2010 vs three on the 2012. I did not need any other parts, however it did require some modification. I just actually did this myself an hour ago - replaced a non-hi-res display on my 2012 15" unibody non-retina MBP with a hi-res display/assembly from a 2010 unibody MBP. Just wanted to post this for those of us that found this on google looking for answers. Interesting but possibly worthless discussion on LCD models found in 15" macbook pros Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this. I noticed that some of the 15" macbooks seam to claim to have a 1GB 650m graphics card while others a 512MB 650m.Ĭheck the 500GB HDD and 750GB HDD versions to see the different graphics cards Second - any issue going between resolutions? Apple loves stream-lining so I suspect there are no hardware differences in the low-res and high-res models except for the actual screen, but I could be wrong. The matte version does not have the clean black trim. I will of course be calling companies to try to get more information from them and will be updating this question/answers as the weekend closes however, I'd be interested in hearing what is already known?įirst question is - difference between matte and glossy? Is it in the lcd or the overlay? If one were to want to switch between the two, what additional parts might be needed? I know the screen borders look different between the matte and glossy high-res options when purchased through apple. So I'm really tempted to order from these guys. ^This place is the cheapest and the a1286 is the model that corresponds to the 2009-2013 15" models. The prices vary so vastly that it is also alarming. I have looked at so many lcd retailers that I am getting exhausted with this. Another thing, this place says the matte and glossy lcds are interchangeable, but resolutions are not. So it doesn't show that it IS compatible with a 2012 macbook pro. Under unibody is shows a list of compatility that ends in year 2010. This place, powerbookmedic, has only two categories, one for unibody and one for non-unibody. This leads me to believe they are different. The offerings and prices are different depending on the year. This place, welovemacs, sells LCD panels and divides them up by years. I've spent the last two days researching this and found a lot of contradicting information.
Upgrade 2012 macbook pro reddit upgrade#
However, I would like to upgrade the screen to high-resolution - either matte or glossy. I am looking at purchasing a 2012 15" macbook pro (MD103LL/A ) on craigslist for a significant discount.
