I want to buy the 2012 MacBook Pro(baseline)for 1199 on the apple store. Will it be able to run Adobe Photoshop, basic programming, and games like league of legends and minecraft? It is two years old and I'm not sure if it is good or not? I will also be using it for schoolwork.
Should I get this macbook?
Well you didn't leave a link, or any specs so I can't tell you with any real certainty. But any computer can run minecraft (not that you should be playing it) and I don't know how intense what you will be making in photoshop will be. But it is a laptop, and we all know laptops are less capable than fully well built PC's. But it should do the job seeing how macs are used in the photo business often.
It should be able to run Adobe Products and programming stuff, as well as Minecraft. It should also be great for school work.
It might be able to play League of Legends. From research I just did (and not from experience) it seems like Macbooks in general (although I'm not getting the years those Macbooks came out in) it runs well. Although I wouldn't be shocked to learn that there's lag on the 2012 model.
