Can a macbook pro mid 2012 perform almost the same as a macbook pro retina mid 2014 if I install 8gb ram in it?

well, close... but we're talking about 2 years here, that's a long time in tech

I know, but the price difference is almost 200 euros :/ I can buy 2x4gb ram for 67 euros. Is it worth it?

Haha te price difference is 200 euros, not the laptop. The 2012 goes for around 500, and the 2014 for 700-750 euros

And if I do so, how can I put a macOS on it?

Take a look at their CPUs because it's not the same the 2012 top model than the 2014 base model

Anyway, I'd say get the 2014 for 700 euros because it's better overall and it's just 200 euros more (133 if you upgrade the RAM on the 2012 model)

Thank you.
