2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 500 GB hard disk, 4 GB of RAM, 512 MB of VRAM, $1799.

Introduced in March 2012, the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) improved on its predecessor, the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) with faster processors and graphics, USB 3.0, and Bluetooth 4.0. Though Apple officially lists the maximum RAM as 8 GB, it's possible to install 16 GB of RAM using two 8 GB DIMMs.

Actual usage varied with graphics load, resulting in slightly less RAM available for system use. Though reported as a 384 MB graphics system, this was actually a minimum. The MacBook Pro's second graphics chipset used a portion of main memory as VRAM.
