First MacBook Pro with Retina Display is Now Vintage

Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display first came out in 2012. I used the succeeding 2013 model throughout high school. It was my favorite MacBook given the time it came out. Sturdy battery life, sleek design, and a killer display. It came out less than a year after Steve Jobs passed away and many held it to critical acclaim. It opened up a new world of what a laptop could do. It was the industry standard. It was perfect for on-the-go content creators and professionals, with an SD card reader built in, a stunning display to properly view your content, and a lightweight and tough design that could take a hit. Now, it is declared vintage (just the first model in 2012), so Apple and authorized service providers may not be able to repair it anymore except where legally required. This doesn't mean much, but it does make me reflect on it a lot. The 2013 model (virtually identical to the 2012 model) is easily my favorite MacBook Pro. It got the job done each time.
