Hello, got some interesting question that i need to ask before buying a logic board, but before that, I need to tell you guys, that I totally need a logic board for myMacbook pro retina late 2012 A1425. I notice that the build and parts of Macbook pro retina Mid 2013 was exactly the same. They have the same parts, same ports, same layout of the case. Is this possible to replace the logic of my laptop using the 2013 intel Core i7 Logic board instead of 2013 intel Core i5 A1425 Logic board? If this would be possible, has anyone tried this?

Basically you can often swap-out logic boards within the same model series. As an example your system is part of MacBookPro10,2 (13" MacBook Pro Retina - 2012) so all of the logic boards here will work. When you jump to the next model series MacBookPro11,1 (13" MacBook Pro Retina - Late 2013/Mid 2014) things are often changed which is the case here. The SSD in your system is an Apple proprietary design (PCIe 2.0 x2) while the newer series is (PCIe 2.0 x4). I would recommend sticking within the same series to be safe.
