I still use the base 2015 MacBook Pro in 2022 and it's great. The design, the screen, the ports, are all still etremely modern. It's definitely dated in terms of power but it works great for streaming, web surfing, music production, and light photo editing & video editing. It's definitely handy to have a Macbook as an iPhone user for airdrop, imessage, etc. I use it alongside my gaming PC and it does exactly what I need it to do. I did get the battery replaced for around $150 through Apple and the thing works like new again. From what they told me the 2015 MBP is about to be cut from their list of servicable Macs so if you're an owner of one looking to extend its lifespan a bit, I'd recommend getting the battery serviced at least before its too late. Apple really knocked it out of the park with this laptop in terms of usability and design. Amazing screen with all the ports you'd ever need. No need for dongles, no issues with the keyboard. I can see myself using this thing for another 5 years.

I just picked up a 2015 15" Macbook Pro (Iris Pro model) for $550AUD with a perfect chassis and no screen de-lamination + 90% battery capacity left - This thing is amazing, doesn't overheat under light load, and just got nearly 9 hours of battery life under Monterey - To put this into perspective, I also own a newer beast of an ultrabook - MSI Modern 14 with an i7-1195g7 and 32GB RAM : I'm happy when that thing last 5 hours on battery and somehow doesn't stay as cool as the 7 year old macbook. On light tasks (Firefox+VSCode+Spotify), I can't notice a difference in speed at all between the two. But the difference between 16:9 1920x1080 vs 16:10 2880x1800 is night and day. Moral of the story - if you see a rich couple getting rid of their barely used 2015 15" that has been sitting in its box for most of its life, jump on the offer asap and don't worry about running 7 year old hardware

I'm using a base 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro. It had gotten incredibly sluggish, to the point of being unusable, even on web browsing. I recently learned from one of Luke Miani's videos that this happens on MacBooks when the battery is either missing or severely degraded. Mine is severely degraded. I used Macs Fan Control to keep the fans at the lowest RPM and keep the MacBook cool using an external turbine style fan. This restored the performance to like new. I am waiting for a new 1TB SSD and a new battery that I ordered. The new SSD should allow the computer to perform better than when it was new (not sure by how much). I can't wait!

I have been using this macbook since mid 2016 and it has been a powerhouse for a long time. This laptop is the sole reason why I refuse to purchase another laptop despite my current needing to upgrade my SSD and replace the battery (as others have mentioned, the battery will degrade and it will severely impact your experience). The features you get from a macbook are great, the hardware is great, but none of that matters to me when I consider this next point; this laptop can take a beating and has even survived 3 full cup spills. I was feeling a bit discouraged from fixing this laptop and considered buying a new one, but I have realized with the help of this video that there is still treasure within my trash.

This will remain the best Apple notebook for some years to come. Why? It is the most clean looking one. Everything angle looks just perfect. Not the weird Ive-left-the-building notchfest of the M1. No USB-C crap ports, which render useless if you put cheese in them, not the filty bezel that has different looks on each side of the screen. Second benefit is this runs Mojave, the meanest OSX of them all. Boot time is faster than on a M1 with Monterey, and it looks cool, not like Candy Crush shit all over. Also it is the best Windows laptop. And battery life is not bad, this had a mighty 75Wh battery, and the 14nm Intel chip has not been bettered till 2020 when the first 10nm ones arived. You can still browse 10 hours on this. You can get this for 300 bucks. Keep the other 1200 in your pocket and wait till M1 MB's go sub 500. This one will hold up till then.

I'm using it for light-work, such as typing documents and working for Facebook pages. It's almost 9 years old now and the battery is still very good. The only sad story that I've had with this machine is that it had a major screen problem, for which I was just too late to have it fixed for free. You must have seen this with other people, when you turn off the screen it looks like parts of the screen were burned-in. I've fixed this (kid you not) by rubbing Listerine mouthwash on top of for about two hours. This way you rub off the anti-glare, and now the screen is fine (only have more difficulties with sun reflection).

I got a 15" 2015 MacBook Pro a couple of months ago for $350 with a tired battery. Mine is a top tier spec with the 2.8 Ghz i7 and dedicated graphics w/ 16 GB ram. After replacing the battery, ditching MacOS and installing Manjaro Linux, it's safe to say it's one of the best decisions I've made in the past few years. With enough love and patience these machines can age like fine wine. The screen is still so much better than most mid-range Windows laptops these days (especially around the price I paid for my unit) the keyboard is much better than the butterfly keyboard, and battery life isn't an issue from replacing the old one and running a lighter OS. If you're willing to give Linux a try and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, these older machines can be fantastic daily drivers.

I've had this exact model for 6 years now and was just curious about what people think of it. It's definitely showing its age now but I used it heavily from 2017-2019 for uni which involved a lot of Adobe programs; editing videos, photoshop etc. It definitely wasn't a flawless experience but got the job done. I still enjoyed my time with it, although recently it's turned into my browsing + KZitem laptop since I bought a new PC a couple months ago. Having to re-learn Windows again made me realise how much more I prefer MacOS. I think it's a lot better from a user experience standpoint; it's simply a lot more streamlined and there's a lot less tinkering needed. I also took the display for granted because my PC's monitor is nowhere near the same quality as a retina display. Still, looking back I think it's funny that in 2017 $2000 got me this laptop that has a CPU with 2 cores and 4 threads, 8 GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Then in 2022, 2 months ago, $1700 got me a PC that has a CPU with 6 cores and 12 threads (Ryzen 5 5600x), 16GB of RAM, 500GB of storage for the boot drive, a 2 TB HDD for extra storage and an RTX 3060.

As someone else said, the macbooks performance will deteriorate alongside the battery. My battery is completely cooked and the performance has never been worse, so I would suggest looking into replacing the battery. An SSD upgrade will go miles too as the technology has much improved since 2015. I built a wicked gaming PC but it still doesnt match the functionality of a laptop. I also love my macbook because running windows on bootcamp, allowing a user to switch between Windows and MacOS is far better to the alternative id face using a windows laptop. This macbook is superior in terms of durability and portability, as its predecessor was too bulky and its successor model cannot take half the beating that this macbook could easily take and brush off.

Watching this on an early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro...

I have a Mid-2014 15.4 Inch Macbook Pro that is still running strong to this day. It is not as snappy as the M2 that I just got, but I feel I could have kept using it for another 2-3 years if I hadn't gotten into an accident that bent the chassis. 8-9 years of service is insane for a laptop, I am usually happy if I get 5-6 without severely degraded performance.

Got mine back in 2015 brand new when I was a student discounted for like £800 (RRP £1K) & still going strong in 2023...admittedly (as expected) it did need a battery service 5 years in but 3 years on from that it's just as good as it's ever been. My first ever MacBook, I always said I'd drag out its life and it sure as hell is doing that. Only other repair was a simple trackpad cable replacement due to the old battery swelling before service but again, it's a cheap part done by any repair shop for like £25 or yourself for £10. Battery service was like £150 from Apple in 2020 & they literally replace the entire bottom part of the laptop brand new, so only old part is the screen. I travel a lot internationally & it gives me peace of mind that if it's stolen or lost it would be a minor inconvenience as I'm long overdue an upgrade anyway...probably to a new MacBook air this time I reckon.

Heres some tips!!! 1: save documents separate from a backup! (Also backup your mac) dont restore from the backup as that can bring issues back.. unless you have to 1.5: 😂… Do a diagnostic test with it plugged in 2: using disk utility clean your disk and reformat it to the default settings. 3: do first aid, I think from the smallest volume to the largest… maybe double check that 4: re install the software using recovery mode 5: sign in and set up the mac 6: Do a nvram, pram, and smc reset 7: use reduce motion in accessibility, and adjust basic battery/performance to reduce usage (it is still older) 8: dont over stuff yo hard drive ! Keep decent bit of storage 9 enjoy your newly tuned mac!

I'm a windows user, and I picked up an 11 inch macbook air 2015 to use as a remote machine for video editing with Parsec. It's been an incredible experience. I'd assume the 13 inch macbook pro would be even better with the higher resolution screen for my use case. The only issue would be the weight. But the size and portability is what I'm after.

there is only one good thing about the touch bar, You know that you can skip adds by dragging your finger across the time line when watching youtube, I found that super useful, and I'm sure that developers didn't know about it, It just happens to be possible. I just purchased a early 2015 13inch macbook pro with 16gb ram which I care the most about because the storage is upgradable using a simple and cheap adapter. so fingers crossed it will work well. and btw I only payed $209 for a grade B+ model.

I own the 2011 macbook pro i7 processor with 16gb of ram and ssd upgrade, but its the model of the problematic graphics card, but still working 100% both of the graphics cards. Just use it for Internet tasks, youtube, email, some whatsapp, and it feels so smooth, i was watching this ones from 2015 but the changes are the more thinner computer and a way better lcd screen.. I think i will keep my 2011 its in mint condition with a new battery also, solid machines this ones for sure.

The 2011 has a 32nm processor, this one has a 14nm processor as used from 2015-2019. It is a huge difference, but also shows you get almost same bang for the buck (power per watt) as on a 2019 model.

Does anyone else have the issue of the corners of the screen being much brighter than the rest of the display, especially the bottom left corner? It's a pity really because the retina displays such an outstanding performance but the bright corners just kill it, especially when you're trying to watch a movie : (

Today you can get one for around 200$ or less if you shop around. THe M1 macbooks really kinda slashed the used intel macbook prices... and rightfully so.. they solved the whole slow and hot problem macbook had for decades... But for a secondary machine for like task an intel mac is perfect...

I bought my 2015 13 inch Macbook Pro in 2016 new. It was the lowest spec model and I use to this day. At school, it lived on a battery with classwork and Powerpoint presentations all day. Yes, it is a little sluggish in areas. At the moment, I don't have a have a heavy workload for this to be a concern until I return to CAD and design work. Then I will buy a newer machine. But the for the basic work and projects, this machine is working fine. I've replaced the battery because of the high cycle count was no longer charging properly and was performing very slow. I also upgraded the SSD to a 256GB as 128GB was paltry then. While there is some life left in this machine, be advised that MacOS Monterey is the last OS this machine will support. Unless something catastrophic happens to the machine, I will keep this even when I get a new MacBook Pro.
