2012 Macbook Pro, PT 2019.12 - Biting off more than I can chew?
Hi. New here. New to Pro Tools. I've installed 2019.12 and a host of plugins to my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro, 2.6 GHz i7, 16 GB. I haven't really gotten into using it yet, I've been reading and watching tutorials first. I wasn't planning on doing any heavy-duty recording and mixing with the program, at least not in the beginning. Anyway, I was reading AVID's article on System Requirements and Compatibility, and under the MacBook Pro section my model is all the way down at the bottom. Here's what it says:

According to Avid it isn't supported - probably because they haven't tested it to any extent. I use 2019.12 on a 2011 MacBook Pro with no problems. I have swapped the system drive for an SSD and installed the maximum RAM which really helped it run faster, and I record to a Lacie Thunderbolt SSD drive when I use the MBP but haven't experienced any problems running the latest Pro Tools. I was without my main rig for a couple of months when I moved and the MBP worked fine for recording and mixing some fairly intense sessions. There may come a time when I can't use the latest Pro Tools version - because I can't install the latest OS, but I'm good for now.

Yes, exactly. It does not mean not working. Avid cannot possibly keep testing against very old hardware, so that is why.
