Does getting the 2015 MacBook Pro in 2021 Make Sense?

ordered the 15inch 2015 macbook pro 2.2ghz 16gb ram 512ssd ,it comes in a few weeks, hopefully i get to enjoy it

How does the battery life compare between the two and how is Big Sur on these?

спасибо за познавательный видос!)

2.2 is better than 2.8 today?

Thank you for the education.

Do you think it’s still a quality and good laptop even though it’s 6 years old? I am debating on getting one.

Useful vid. Thanks

I have an MBP late 2012 13', and it still nice with office work, but if you will use Chrome (3-4tabs) + messenger + something like numbers it will be 80-90 C. So you can't work when it on your knees.. so I will buy a new one with m1 next month.
I hope it will be as everybody says (just awesome after an old one)

No. Get a M1 Mac.

U guys see a jump in graphics between the two? I live in Brazil, so the 2016 model and beyond are not cheap like the 15 inch with graphics from 2015. My current computer is the 13 inch from 2015, with 8GB, but i’m not sure if the graphics are noticeably better

great video, thanks.

Watching this on a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro 13.

me watching this on my 13 inch 2015 macbook pro i just got a week ago lol

Perfect!🙌 I need to upgrade from a 2011 MacBook Pro because I can not upload my Costco Turbo Tax CD; and I’m not paying double on their website. FYI, I perform very basic tasks on my computer and the 15” looks like a great fit for my needs.💃🏿
Thank you.

Thank you. Very helpful. I have had a 2011 Macbook Pro for a long time and am probably going to get the 13 inch 2015 one.

How long does the battery lasts? I found one with 760 cycles. Is it too much? It has 86% of the design capacity. 15” 256Gb. Should I buy it?

I still love my 2015 beast with 2,6/16/512/R370. Display and battery got replaced for free end of 2019, so it looks like brand new! I might sell it for the upcoming M1X eventually.

Btw, Big Sur and Catalina suck. Mojave for the win!!

Bought the 13" in November 2020. The cable to the touch pad and keyboard died right away, so I ordered a new one, put it in and that worked.
128 GB of SSD always bothered me, so I ordered an adapter and an .M2 SSD with 512 GB, installed this weekend it and it works fine.
Battery life is still excellent and the fan almost never gives a peep. Big Sur runs very well on it too.

Had a 2011 13" which I gave to my sister. I had installed an SSD in that one too, and it still runs fine.

I'd trade my 2019 MBP 13 for one of these models in the blink of an eye tbh

How is the battery backup for an average user (mails, browsing, content watching etc.)? Also, can I change the battery if required?
Please advise.

Just got a maxed out 2015 MacBook Pro 13” for $565. Upgraded from a maxed out 2015 MacBook Air 11” that I paid $780 for back in 2018. This new MacBook Pro was so well taken care of that the hinges are as stiff as they were when first manufactured. Definitely happy with my upgrade

Hi, this video its great, helps me a lot, but now I am in this situation: the 13 inch vs 15 inch; I had the 13 inch model first, the base model, 2.7, 8gb ram, 128gb, now I got the 15 inch model 2.5, 16gb ram, 512gb with the dedicated GPU (PRETTY AWESOME SPECS), obviously i was impressed due to I come from the base model to the high spec model (have huge and impressive quality of speakers, the quad cores were so notorious, i realize multiple tasks without problems and more smoothness was noticed as well, the bigger screen allows to see more details and appreciate better the 2k retina display, the 13 inch one made my eyes tired if I passing watching the screen for more than 3 hours, and in the case of the 15 inch it doesn't bother me at all, also the battery seems to last a little bit longer but like at 10% percent more only, and both laptops have good battery cycle count, and by last, the thermal throttling, it handle it very very well, never passes the 60˚ celcius degrees in big tasks, and I can feel it when I put it in my lap that its way less hot than the 13 inch base model, the 13 inch was a total hotness, and thanks to the extra fan that comes in the 15 inch models (yes an extra fan:) you can work satisfactorily on your lap). Now, that are the advantages that I found in the 15 inch model, but the thing is the size and the weight, its a real tank, I take it with me everywhere and I found it not versatile at all, carry that weight nowadays feels weird to me, its like carrying a desktop that doesn't feel like a laptop, maybe its just a personal preference and by saying that makes me remember the 13 inch model, less weight and more minimalistic to me, so portable and versatile, and in terms of the tasks for why I use the laptop like web browsing, homeworks, media content, maybe some heavy program like pro tools once in a while, seems to me like the 13 inch high spec model can handle it very well, I definitely can sacrifice all the advantages from the 15 inch just for the versatility of the 13 inch model, also by selling the 15 inch model and getting the 13 inch model I can save some extra money, but hope you can help me to decide and throw me some great argument that make me choose wisely, haha, hope you can answer me, sorry for the long note and thanks for make these awesome videos, cheers!

Can You Run and Play The Avatar Interactive Game Second Life on These MacBook Pros? Also, How is The Video Editing?

i just bought a 2015 MacBook pro 13 with 8gb ram 256 gb i5 300$ good deal or no??

Is the 2015 MBP good for programming and coding??

This is a simple, yet straight to the point review. I got a 15" 2015 MacBook Pro on a barter exchange & I really like it. I have an M1 MacBook Air as my primary computer, but the 2015 holds up nice!!
