    Hi, everyone

    This past Thanksgiving, I was helping out my family with their computer troubles. I suppose I'm an apple store over the holidays. One of the installs I did was convert an older generation macbook pro from a stanrad 5400 RPM drive to a SSD. While doing this I had forgotten how much I love the older macbook pros, and now I actually want the last generation anti-glare. I hope this model has a 750m, so I basically have two questions before I go out and try to grab this dead breed of laptops.

    1) What's the model of the last generation of the true anti-glare

    2) What dedicated GPU is on this system? I believe it was the nvidia 750m but I forgot.

    I tried to use Wiki to locate it but wiki mixes the retina with the standards under the universal classification of 'Macbook Pro'


    Thanks, Bryan.

    The last MacBook Pro with the antiglare screen was the mid-2012 edition that released alongside the first-generation Retina display. It used Ivy Bridge CPUs and either a 512 MB or 1 GB GeForce GT 650M, depending on whether you got the 2.3 or 2.6/2.7 GHz model.

    The 15" Pro was sold until mid-2012 and had a GT650M.
