watching this on my macbook pro from 2015, the best thing about this device in my opinion is that it has 2 Usb A ports and that the keyboard is soft, responsive and confortable.
Great to see a 5 year old MacBook Pro still serving you well. That was IMHO the peak of MBP design (no dongles, MagSafe, ports-a-plenty, stable keyboard). These still hold their value well.
a smile on camera makes a difference and gives good vibes/ aura, aside from pleasant personality. I believe that's one of the few basics. Keep it up. !!! looking forward for more subscribers! and stay handsome in and out - from the Philippines Planning to sell my 2013 and by 201.5 15" MBP
I bought a Macbook Pro 15,4" today because it has many advantages to the newer Macbooks - like the HDMI and USB ports, the fact that my graphic design programs only run on OS older than Catalina, and yes, also the price. After watching your video, I'm even more glad I bought this one!
Hi i am also graphic designer on a budget. Been offered this macbook switch with my ipad. Do you think this laptop will be good for adobe? And how much u paid please :) tnx
@@lizda7 I haven't used the Macbook yet, but it is better than the Mac Mini I currently use for my work - which is sometimes a bit slow, but all in all I'm doing very fine with it. I'm mostly using it for editorial design, photo editing, logo or poster design and similar. I think it depends on what you're using it for. I don't have any experience with video editing and I rarely work with huge PSD files. But I think it's a good choice.
@@lizda7 Oh, and you can use the Adobe Creative Suite 6 with it, it's not possible anymore on newer Macs which use Catalina and which are difficult to downgrade (don't know if that works)!
Being a creator with tight budget myself, I’m really looking forward to see how a 2015 MBP will perform compared to my 2011 Unibody MBP! Really appreciate you testing literally all the benchmarks out there, and most importantly, showing how an actual edit with 4K footage, LUTs and different settings work. This video made me realize, I don’t need to save up like crazy for an overkill 16” MBP right now, and one last thing, this video has a really high production quality! I’m surprised you only have less than 10K, hope there’ll be tons more subscribers soon, and of course, I’m a part of it now ✌🏻😁
Thank you so much for those nice comments and yes definitely be a big upgrade from your 2011 MacBook Pro! I just like making videos and I always try to improve the quality of every single one hence why from video to video it may look a bit different but it's only because I'm trying to find my style and also play around with new plugins and effects 😂
I've got the model above yours with the MX370. Just put in a sabent rocket 2TB via supergeek adapter for grand total of £270. Installed bootcamp in 500GB. That flexibility and ports will now last me years as I use it for VMware etc. Ports are just too useful and the price of a like for like 2020 is insane. Great video.
I still have this MacBook, got it from my parents when going to college. I still love it! I love the glowing apple logo and everything still works perfectly. I can easily last another 5 years with this laptop. No need to upgrade. I have the 15 inch tho.
Given fan noise and thermals during video the benchmarks, I can assure you really need to reapply a good thermal (i.e. grizzly extreme) paste on CPU and GPU. Thermals and fan noise is usually not an aging issue but rather bad cooling. My MBP's mid 2015 (2.8ghz with dual graphics)fans hit ~2600-2800 RPM at around 80 C.
Just bought the mid 2015, 15”, Core i7 16GB RAM, 512SSD Retina Display. I run it with a 1TB Samsung T5 SSD and I have a 4TB external hard drive as back up. Love the ports and I actually prefer that it has a bit more weight. The only grievance I have is the keyboard, I actually find it a bit small coming from a HP but everyone else seems to love it. Overall would strongly recommend as well.
I have been using it (the entry version) for 5 years and I am still very satisfied with it. I like the keyboard very much. As I use the card reader and USB A very often, I am very happy with it. Battery life is still very acceptable about 8 hours for light usage like a little web browsing and mainly Excel worksheet. BTW, I have just upgraded it with a Samsung 970 Evo Plus Nvme M.2 SSD. The speed is amazing!
Hi CLement. Does it seem faster? I dont lack space because i save everything in external drives but sometimes i feel my macbook a bit slower. I have the 2015 early 128gb version. More ram is impossible because its soldered but the ssd is an option.
Thank you for the very useful advice with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus! I'm about to buy it as well for my Macbook but wantetd to know: Is the battery life and also the wake up behaviour the same as with the Apple SSD? Thanks in advance!
@@pedrocaceiro3936 This is also my point. Since the ram is soldered, i want to max it out ssd wise to the really max, especially when it comes to speed. Do you have any experiences with a new SSD?
@@Rabecco The battery life is a little bit shorter than the original SSD but after upgrading to Big Sur, I find it more or less the same as the original one. There is no wake up issue at all as Samsung has already updated the firmware in Evo Plus.
I was the proud owner of a mid-2014 16 inch Macbook Pro and it started shutting itself down frequently. So I bought a 2020 15" Macbook Pro thinking it was time to "upgrade". Wow, what a disappointment. First, the Apple logo doesn't even light up!!!! I had no idea that was by design. So I took my old one to the Apple Genius Bar and they found it had a bad heat sensor so I was looking at almost $600 to replace logic board. I decided to buy an upgraded 2015 Macbook pro 15 inch Quad i7 with 2TB storage and I'm so excited to get it! So disappointed in Apple for not keeping the backlit Apple logo; I know that sounds petty but that's my truth. And I never thought I'd say that about an Apple product.
I just sold my MacBook 12" 2015 and bought this 13" 2015 model. I'm happier than ever :D (I don't know why, but I was so lucky to find one in a pristine condition. Except the battery that has 580 cycles in "Good" status condition, I couldn't find a single scratch on it). So glad I got rid of that single type-C port and having the possibility to connect an external monitor to do my job properly.
Still one of the best I’ve been using it for years now creating 3D models and graphics always makes me surprise by great performance (ofc it only can take medium projects which is amazing for a MacBook ) Thanks for the review such a pleasant video really enjoyed watching it⭐️
very informative and aesthetically pleasing video! the in-depth explanations for each component of the macbook and performance examples you gave are HIGHLY appreciated. i got a good sense of what i’d be using and i think you’ve helped make up my mind! hopefully i could find a good deal for this somewhere on ebay haha. i’ve actually already watched a few 2020 review videos for this 2015 macbook pro but this, by far, is the best i’ve come across :) thank you so much for this!
This is still the best MacBook Pro ever made, if Apple just released a refreshed version of this MacBook Pro with thunderbolt 3 ports in place of the Thunderbolt 2 ports, thinner bezels and an updated Retina display, then it would be perfect.
I've watched several videos on the 2015 MacBook Pro and yours is the most thorough and educational; thank you! Especially concerning the fan and computer temps... I'm looking to 'upgrade' from my 2015 MacBook Air to the 2015 MacBook Pro for better screen resolution, speed and to avoid the dongle hell of a newer model. Thanks for helping me to confirm I'm on the right one!
No problem Mark, I like older Mac's! I gave my old MacBook Air to a family member but it's still a good machine! I still have my 2015 and I doubt I'll get rid of it as it's a great windows (bootcamp) and Mac machine!
I just got a 13,3" MacBook Pro with 3,1Ghz i7, 16GB and 512GB SSD in very nice shape with 433 batt cycli for €150 incl. shipping. Going to be my throw in the backpack vacation MacBook.
I’ve been using a mid/late 2008 iMac for photoshop and creating graphics for screen printing, and updated to this model of MacBook Pro. Super excited to have the freedom of a laptop. I’m sure it’ll be exactly what I need since I’ve been using an even more outdated model.
I sold my 2013 late MBP, it was amazing since 2013 and now I bought 2015 early :) I think the best Macbook Pro ever :)The older things are always the best! I'm happy! Thank you! Greetings from Hungary!
I bought macbook pro 13 2015 , 8gb and 512gb ssd in 700$, its like new(obviously not new but carefully used). This is my first mac and i was thinking should i buy macbook air m1 or this one is better as a first mac. your video cleared my mind.
Hey man I have the same MacBook Pro model and it never goes above 80c under intense load. I would open it up and clean it out as there maybe some dust clogging the fans limiting airflow throughout your machine. I would also look into a possibly replacing the old thermal paste on the CPU as those temps are most likely hurting performance as the CPU is definitely thermal throttling at 105C!!! especially on longer heavy CPU workloads.
You know after doing this video I definitely am interested in doing that, because I think there is some truth in what you are saying! Cheers for your suggestion and stay safe ✌🏽😊
I definitely will! And thank you so so much!! Genuinely appreciate that man, I just want to keep delivering great content and constantly improve my quality! Thank you for subbing and hopefully see you in the comments more! ✌🏽😊
Good video, You speak so clearly on camera, I have a 2015 MacBook Pro that I really like, please share with me how I should upgrade it to run faster & more efficiently?
Thanks for giving such a top notched content also I'm using 15inch Mid 2015 Since 2015 Dec and being a happy Apple fan boy also you earned a SUBSCRIBER From Sri Lanka My Best wishes for d upcoming videos of urz 😊
Still checking what macbook is for me. But until now i cant still decide what to get. Also the price of macbooks are so high in my country compared to others. I am still hoping to have one in the future because it is my dream device. Thank you for the review.
Aww bless! It's a great laptop and definitely worth saving for and getting one! My first Mac was used and it lasted me for years and I pushed that machine almost everyday and never let me down 😊
Techkhamun yes. I am planning to purchased one use Macbook when i have enough savings. Thank you for this kind of vids. It really helped. More power to your channel.
I also own this MBP Early 2015 and it did great. Unfortunately my screen died a week ago (backlight issue). Going to replace it with the new MBA 2020 i5, since I think the laptop was a bit overpowered for the Student and Office/Web Tasks I am doing. Looking forward to your comparison. Thanks for your reassuring statement in regards to the heat/throttling. As long as you don't push it too hard, its a great fit for a lot of users!
It will definitely be an interesting video to watch for sure! Be sure to check out my review of the 2020 MacBook air with the i5 and see what you think! And yes for sure, its still a great computers, just do not expect too much out of it!
May be better decision will be to buy MBP 2019, because the cooling system of new MBA 2020 is some kind of joke. Totally recommend to see some videos about it's cooling system
I still use my 13 inch 2015 iMac with a i5 every day. Still works great. Use a 31 inch external monitor and magic keyboard and mouse. Also have the new iPad Pro for out and about. Keep most of my files on a Samsung T7.
Still using my 2015 MacBook Pro today. Having a hard time upgrading. I definitely need more RAM, but I just can't seem to let go of this laptop. I use the SD card reader way too much to want to let it go.
@@P-su7kg I don't have that problem and I didn't even have to use my apple Care in all the years I've had this. Anti glare never peeled off and I didn't even know it was a thing until I started watching these videos. I've been using it since January 2015 when I bought it. I do a LOT of video editing and music recording on it. 8GB of RAM is slow to today's standards, but it's really hard for me to want to upgrade knowing I actually have to make sacrifices with a new one.
still using mine as well. can't believe that this is considered one of the best. but I do believe it because its built like a tank! No issues whatsoever.
I M still using 2013 15 inch mbp works just fine .. before people used to need tech to do work now people need tech to know what next tech to compare to
Good vid .. Where would you reccomended buying this model as they are secondhand .. refurnished dealer or secondhand market places > is the guarantee of the refurnished dealer worth the mark up of hundreds of pounds vs the stability of these models also which prices would be reccomended to pay in 2021 for this model ? Also would it make sense spending hundreds more buying the version with 16 gb as far as performance ?
😂😂😂 I saw the wealthsimple add trying to watch this video, you know the one that says “this is mike, and this is mike, there are 5,000 mikes” or something like that. And then the video played and he was like “hi my names mike!” 😂😂😂
Great video. I have a 2015 15" MBP which I love due to the ports. I primarily use it pitch side at football matches. It has great battery life in the summer but sucks when the temperature drops. I struggle to get 45mins out of a full charge using photo mechanic and Photoshop. It has a 512gb SSD but may well upgrade to a 1TB. I'm contemplating ditching my 2010 Mac Pro and just use the MBP with a dock.
@@user-fi6hg8vq6c Hi. I think it's the original battery but I know I'm not alone with the battery dumping on the 2015. My M1 16" battery has never died yet during a match. 🤞🏻
Even today, this is the best Macbook you can buy. Why? Becasue it is 250€, and it is the epitome of Intel inside macbooks. It is every bit as much 14nm as the 2019 Intel models, but because the i5 is smaller and lighter, it won't get as hot and drain the battery as fast, yet the battery is massice. Don't get the i7 as in this video. The i5 is slightly slower (10%), yet it stays way cooler. My advice, for now run it on Mojave. 95% of apps today still run on Mojave, and that leaves the bloat of ARM/Intel dual binary stuff for Big Sur and later. Mojave is the snappiest OS on these Macbooks.
Great video on this subject. It's funny but to this day it seems all the multi-core Intel processors ran above 95 degrees under load. The older Macbook pro's couldn't handle that heat above 2.4 ghz. Again, great insight and review.
Happy seen this your sincere look and prowess on what you are talking about mac book pro early 2015, I have subscribe to your channel and share more here in Nigeria. Shalom.
hey man, the video cool.) I went and bought MacBook pro 13 2020 last week and I can say in new one camera is poor vs mbp13 2015, construction and new design light, thin but very fragile (first look), potential problems with flex (flexgate) these nuances is very important to understand before buying. and price mbp 13 2015 (good condition) - 500$ mbp 13 2020 - 1800$ hmmm..think 2 times before buying
I want to buy this Macbook Pro to work with Photoshop, this Mac works well with the latest version of Photoshop? He runs smoothly? Macbook Pro Early 2015 i5 8GB and 256GB SSD Hi from Brazil!
First of all, wow, your videos are top notch. Definitely subbing. Second, I just have a question. You said the macbook pro 2015 can be upgraded. How do you go about that? I kept seeing people on reddit saying you can't upgrade it. Can you switch out the logic board?
Hello, my name is Rat from Chong Pruksa Indy. Today I am reviewing the MacBook Pro 2015. Personally liked to come with an important design material as the last version with apple-shaped lights. It also has many ports. Spec is okay, can handle basic editing work well, especially the iMovie app. Thank you friends who come to view, press and share, press and follow. Thank you very much.
Great video, looking to buy a refurbished 2013 model but considering a used 2015 as a possibility. How much is a reasonable price for a used 13" 2015 model with an i5, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD?
No only do I have this MacBook which i just upgraded to 1TB ssd, but I just bought a shirt with the diamond design behind the MacOS Catalina box. Did you design that Techkhamun?
I’m newbie to Mac planning to buy a 15” mid 2015 MBP with i7 2.2 ghz, 16 GB RAM, intel iris pro 1536 MB graphics card. Do you think I can use it for the next 4 years (not for gaming , maybe some music producing , entry level programming)?
I still have my 2015 and love it! Okay problem I’m having lately is files being pushed into my iCloud when I’m not ready for that but that’s due to my poor file management ready to save my old files on an external Harddrive and sweep the memory and just keep it to hold the software I use.
Bro the quality of this video, I almost feel bad for watching it for free
Hahahaha don't feel bad! As long as you enjoyed it and gave it like, that's all I need 😊✌🏽

Hey man I have the same MacBook Pro model and it never goes above 80c under intense load. I would open it up and clean it out as there maybe some dust clogging the fans limiting airflow throughout your machine. I would also look into a possibly replacing the old thermal paste on the CPU as those temps are most likely hurting performance as the CPU is definitely thermal throttling at 105C!!! especially on longer heavy CPU workloads.
You know after doing this video I definitely am interested in doing that, because I think there is some truth in what you are saying! Cheers for your suggestion and stay safe ✌🏽😊
It is totally worth it to preserve the longevity of your machine. And keep delivering great content man you just gained a subscriber.
I definitely will! And thank you so so much!! Genuinely appreciate that man, I just want to keep delivering great content and constantly improve my quality! Thank you for subbing and hopefully see you in the comments more! ✌🏽😊
Good video, You speak so clearly on camera, I have a 2015 MacBook Pro that I really like, please share with me how I should upgrade it to run faster & more efficiently?
Thanks for giving such a top notched content
also I'm using 15inch Mid 2015
Since 2015 Dec and being a happy Apple fan boy also you earned a SUBSCRIBER From Sri Lanka
My Best wishes for d upcoming videos of urz 😊
Nice review -well done! Have the same one but mid 2015
Still checking what macbook is for me. But until now i cant still decide what to get. Also the price of macbooks are so high in my country compared to others. I am still hoping to have one in the future because it is my dream device. Thank you for the review.
Aww bless! It's a great laptop and definitely worth saving for and getting one! My first Mac was used and it lasted me for years and I pushed that machine almost everyday and never let me down 😊
Techkhamun yes. I am planning to purchased one use Macbook when i have enough savings. Thank you for this kind of vids. It really helped. More power to your channel.
Is this laptop still nice to use right now on 2021? I am planning to buy one this month and i need some opinions
I also own this MBP Early 2015 and it did great. Unfortunately my screen died a week ago (backlight issue). Going to replace it with the new MBA 2020 i5, since I think the laptop was a bit overpowered for the Student and Office/Web Tasks I am doing. Looking forward to your comparison. Thanks for your reassuring statement in regards to the heat/throttling. As long as you don't push it too hard, its a great fit for a lot of users!
It will definitely be an interesting video to watch for sure! Be sure to check out my review of the 2020 MacBook air with the i5 and see what you think! And yes for sure, its still a great computers, just do not expect too much out of it!
May be better decision will be to buy MBP 2019, because the cooling system of new MBA 2020 is some kind of joke. Totally recommend to see some videos about it's cooling system
Lesley Jakob definitely not. terrible keyboard
Do you think it’s worth to buy now?
Most certainly. They do like 250€ here, that is a steal for a perfect Mac.
I still use my 13 inch 2015 iMac with a i5 every day. Still works great. Use a 31 inch external monitor and magic keyboard and mouse. Also have the new iPad Pro for out and about. Keep most of my files on a Samsung T7.
Actually, I think I'm in love...where have you been all my life? I'm suddenly interested in technology!
Just purchased mine . Thanks
Just bought this. 🤦♂️ Got so fed up with windows, had to make a change instantly.
Still using my 2015 MacBook Pro today. Having a hard time upgrading. I definitely need more RAM, but I just can't seem to let go of this laptop. I use the SD card reader way too much to want to let it go.
For how long have you been using it in total and have you had issues with staingate (the anti glare layer peeling of)?☺️
@@P-su7kg I don't have that problem and I didn't even have to use my apple Care in all the years I've had this. Anti glare never peeled off and I didn't even know it was a thing until I started watching these videos. I've been using it since January 2015 when I bought it. I do a LOT of video editing and music recording on it. 8GB of RAM is slow to today's standards, but it's really hard for me to want to upgrade knowing I actually have to make sacrifices with a new one.
@@P-su7kg I had an issue with it in the past year. I bought my laptop new in 2015 and went to Apple 3 months and they replaced the screen for free.
still using mine as well. can't believe that this is considered one of the best. but I do believe it because its built like a tank! No issues whatsoever.
I M still using 2013 15 inch mbp works just fine .. before people used to need tech to do work now people need tech to know what next tech to compare to
immediately saw the video liked subed etc Immediate confidence was amazing man keep it up
Good vid .. Where would you reccomended buying this model as they are secondhand .. refurnished dealer or secondhand market places > is the guarantee of the refurnished dealer worth the mark up of hundreds of pounds vs the stability of these models also which prices would be reccomended to pay in 2021 for this model ? Also would it make sense spending hundreds more buying the version with 16 gb as far as performance ?
Can it be used for music production ive been looking all over RUclips for a laptop that can handle music production
Same I want to know!!
amazin content bro. needed to see this.
Really nice presentation of a subject that i am actively considering right now. My unibody 13” is jus about to fall out of support so time to upgrade…
😂😂😂 I saw the wealthsimple add trying to watch this video, you know the one that says “this is mike, and this is mike, there are 5,000 mikes” or something like that. And then the video played and he was like “hi my names mike!” 😂😂😂
Bought a 15" i7 4870hq with 16 gb ram and 512 and a broken battery. It's amazing and consider replacing the battery to give it a full second life
Great video. I have a 2015 15" MBP which I love due to the ports. I primarily use it pitch side at football matches. It has great battery life in the summer but sucks when the temperature drops. I struggle to get 45mins out of a full charge using photo mechanic and Photoshop. It has a 512gb SSD but may well upgrade to a 1TB. I'm contemplating ditching my 2010 Mac Pro and just use the MBP with a dock.
Has the battery been replaced yet?
@@user-fi6hg8vq6c Hi. I think it's the original battery but I know I'm not alone with the battery dumping on the 2015. My M1 16" battery has never died yet during a match. 🤞🏻
is it good for music production
Even today, this is the best Macbook you can buy. Why? Becasue it is 250€, and it is the epitome of Intel inside macbooks. It is every bit as much 14nm as the 2019 Intel models, but because the i5 is smaller and lighter, it won't get as hot and drain the battery as fast, yet the battery is massice. Don't get the i7 as in this video. The i5 is slightly slower (10%), yet it stays way cooler.
My advice, for now run it on Mojave. 95% of apps today still run on Mojave, and that leaves the bloat of ARM/Intel dual binary stuff for Big Sur and later. Mojave is the snappiest OS on these Macbooks.
Great video on this subject. It's funny but to this day it seems all the multi-core Intel processors ran above 95 degrees under load. The older Macbook pro's couldn't handle that heat above 2.4 ghz. Again, great insight and review.
This man is underrated
Thomas you are too kind! I really appreciate it, thank you for watching I hope I see you in the comments again! 😊✌🏽
Thank you! Nice editing by the way
Thank you so much, I'm constantly improving my editing and just trying to make these videos as educational but entertaining as possible!
Happy seen this your sincere look and prowess on what you are talking about mac book pro early 2015, I have subscribe to your channel and share more here in Nigeria. Shalom.
Thank you very much for those kind words! 😊
does it good for coding?
hey man, the video cool.) I went and bought MacBook pro 13 2020 last week and I can say in new one camera is poor vs mbp13 2015, construction and new design light, thin but very fragile (first look), potential problems with flex (flexgate) these nuances is very important to understand before buying.
and price mbp 13 2015 (good condition) - 500$
mbp 13 2020 - 1800$ hmmm..think 2 times before buying
Would you pls suggest which SD card to buy to expand more space for Macbook Pro 2015 Mid?
In 2023 will it be good for web development?
I want to buy this Macbook Pro to work with Photoshop, this Mac works well with the latest version of Photoshop?
He runs smoothly?
Macbook Pro Early 2015 i5 8GB and 256GB SSD
Hi from Brazil!
Planning to buy one of 2015. Is it really much of the difference between the 2014 model?
how about 15 inch 16gb ram core i7 version? is still same performance?
First of all, wow, your videos are top notch. Definitely subbing.
Second, I just have a question. You said the macbook pro 2015 can be upgraded. How do you go about that? I kept seeing people on reddit saying you can't upgrade it. Can you switch out the logic board?
Check out iFixit, they have guides for replacements. You can't upgrade the CPU or RAM but you can upgrade the SSD.
Hey, I’m an artist and am looking to upgrade to a affordable laptop to run the software FL studios, what’s your opinion on that?
what price would you say is good value for a macbook pro 15 inch? 2015
Hello, my name is Rat from Chong Pruksa Indy. Today I am reviewing the MacBook Pro 2015. Personally liked to come with an important design material as the last version with apple-shaped lights. It also has many ports. Spec is okay, can handle basic editing work well, especially the iMovie app. Thank you friends who come to view, press and share, press and follow. Thank you very much.
What do you know... I literally bought the same exact model and specs. Still waiting for it to get here I’m so exited
Sweet!! 😊
@WakinTheDeadFan yeah, that's pretty good. I just paid 870 for the MJLT2 with a base clock of 2.8Ghz and 1TB SSD.
Great video, looking to buy a refurbished 2013 model but considering a used 2015 as a possibility. How much is a reasonable price for a used 13" 2015 model with an i5, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD?
I wish I wasn't computer clueless back in 2016 and got the 16gb ram. Its been 5 years and plan on keeping it for another 5.
Thanks for this video. I am thinking to get a Macbook Pro 2015 for music production.
Glad I could help!
No only do I have this MacBook which i just upgraded to 1TB ssd, but I just bought a shirt with the diamond design behind the MacOS Catalina box. Did you design that Techkhamun?
Yes please make that comparison video
Where I can buy Macbook pro 15" 2015 mid retina new and how much I hope it's low now.
Bhai macbook air 2015 early mil rha h 26k battery count 420 k sath
2021 me lena worth hoga ya nhi
would i be able to play games on it from time to time? like sims 4 (with mods) or genshin impact (with low settings)? or would it be too much?
Sir,, All graphic software of Adobe will run in it smoothly?? I wanna buy. Plz tell me!
I’m newbie to Mac planning to buy a 15” mid 2015 MBP with i7 2.2 ghz, 16 GB RAM, intel iris pro 1536 MB graphics card.
Do you think I can use it for the next 4 years (not for gaming , maybe some music producing , entry level programming)?
You may lose software support for new MacOS when you hit year 3/4 but it'll still run well, I think that would be a good laptop for your uses 😊✌🏽
Do you think it will receive the next major upcoming update?
Is the 2015 one good for Final Cut Pro editing? With a Core i5? Love your videos btw you’re amazing
I'm looking into one of these, and the seller just told me they've used Final Cut Pro on it.
I still have my 2015 and love it! Okay problem I’m having lately is files being pushed into my iCloud when I’m not ready for that but that’s due to my poor file management ready to save my old files on an external Harddrive and sweep the memory and just keep it to hold the software I use.
Can you run creative cloud on this laptop from mid 2015?
Why is it crazy to expect an expensive machine to hold up nicely after 5 years ?
the trackpad isnt a problem for me as i never use it, i mostly use a mouse its way better
anyway i can upgrade mine to become quicker? its my fav keyboard and has all the ports but i wanna max mine out
Would you reccomend this for middle school?
would i be able to play games on it? like sims 4 (with mods) or genshin impact (with low settings)?
