I forget that 2012 is now 3 years old. My MacBook is a mid2012 non-retina MBP (with all the ports on it) and it's still absolutely fine but I know in the fashionable computer world, it's ancient.
Still fetches a good resale value though.
That one is a weird case because it's still the latest model of "classic"/non-retina MBPs. And, probably, the last.
