Really good comparison! I've got a mid 2015 15" with Dual Graphics, and for the reasons you stated, I haven't upgraded. You also forgot to mention that the storage upgrade from the 2014 to the 2015 model was huge, the SSD was 3x the speed, meaning everything feels snappier, and the boot/load times were much faster. The 2016/2017 models really were a downgrade in many ways, for the reasons you stated, but also, the 16/17 models had worse battery life, and although the highest end 460/560 GPU's were faster, they actually would perform worse over extensive loads, due to thermal throttling, which you didn't get to nearly the same extent on the 2015 model. Add the fact that the touchbar still has software issues, the speakers on the 16/17 models were prone to failing, and the palm rejection on the trackpad didn't work very well, I'd go for the 2015 even if it were the same price. I think I'll be waiting for the rumored 16" 2019 model to come out before I upgrade!

One thing I wish you covered in this video is ports. I know it is important to me, to my wife, and to anyone I talk to. Because we all hate dongles, and adapters, it is a pain. It is quite common to find oneself in a situation where you have a bunch of adapters but not the right one, etc. In fact, the reason I bought a late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch in 2019, was because I wanted USB and SD card slot, as I am a hobbyist photographer. I love Apple products with exception of ports selection. Take for example a DELL laptop that I use at work. it is several years old, but it has 2 USB A ports, 2 USB C ports, HDMI port, SD card port, and even Ethernet port (plus some other optional port bay). It is the best of all worlds, I can charge through USB-C (same as my 2021 Ipad Pro), Can connect newer things via USB-C, older things via USB-A, and even use SD card slot. SD card slot can also be used in a crunch as an extra storage device. If there is a Macbook Pro model that has a combination of all the ports, please let me know, Ill buy one. But you did not cover ports. I have heard that Apple might possibly bring back some of the ports in the new macbook pros, but I am not holding my breath for it.

Really nice things are: Screen, weight, still nice i7. Sadness are 8gb of ram, but you can manage (maybe not with 40 tabs on chrome), as well as 2 standard usb ports (to them i've got attached two hubs 7+2 from tp-link). One thing that was making the mbp get very warm was connecting external display. From the side of mini-displayport it's almost unusable as its get to 80C fast. From hdmi side its kinda ok :) In conclusion - i'm working on high sierra because of CS6 (till last month), but now my new work horse is mac pro 5.1 with 960gb of nvme and 32gb ddr3 ram. This is far better for PS / AI / ID and other software that I use as a photographer and designer.

Next week I'm celebrating the 5th birthday of my macbook pro mid-14 13". The laptop is still great, actually more great than the new ones and here's why: 1. My macbook has all the ports - 2 usb, SD Card slot, hdmi, thunderbolts and magsafe, which is great and idk why apple replaced really cool magsafe with the normal type-c. 2. It has the great keyboard, which is still fully functional after almost 5 years! It's more comfortable for me and many people tell the same and it doesn't have the crарpy touch bar. 3. It has a bigger battery, even when the laptop 0,001 mm thicker and 2 grams heavier. 4. With Mavericks it works faster than with Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave. Funny, hm? With Mavericks it starts in 12 seconds and with Mojave 25-30, works more smoothly and stable. Probably the Mavericks is the best macOS ever. 5. It cost me back then €1250 and the new ones start at 1400€. With no ports, no magsafe, poor battery life, keyboard problems etc. So I'm really happy to have this jewel :)

I still daily my 2013 15 dual graphics retina patched to Monterey, it’s been with me through hs and college created countless projects and works, if it died tomorrow it wouldn’t owe me a cent. The screen still looks amazing, when I go into Best Buy I don’t see anything with a better screen under a $1000. For photo editing and tethered shooting it’s been amazing. I don’t have much delaminating since I caught it early and used to put the apple cloth in between it every time I’d pack the computer. I changed the battery myself 3 years ago to an ifixit battery and it’s still at 100% health. And now that they have the USB C adapters for MagSafe I can use it with a power bank too. If i did more mobile video editing I’d probably upgrade but my work flow still just uses aperture with plugins, nik and a bit of photoshop and it easily gets through that light stuff. The only thing I really wish it could do is play 4k YT video without screaming and dropping frames. 1440p 60 is the max, the older macs just suck at video scaling it seems. Even the iPad Pro can easily do that. Kinda pathetic.

Am still using my MacBook pro retina mid 2012 since then. Almost 10 years, the battery has degraded significantly to only 60% capacity, I have to plug to use most of the time like a desktop lol. Besides that everything else works perfectly! Can't wait to finally go out to replace the battery when the lockdown is over in Vietnam

I have the mid 2014 with dedicated graphics and it is such a master piece, such a reliable computer, ssd super fast, even faster that some new versions present on some pc's. As for performance, I cannot complain, it delivers. Excellent keyboard, not extreme temperatures as the newest models.

Just recently got a top spec(save for the 1tb SSD) mid 2015 15” for under $300. It definitely has issues, but it works nearly flawlessly. The bottom case has been sanded on part of it, probably to get rid of branding from a school or business. The screen has pretty bad delamination issues, but I’ll just clean the rest of it off and use it without. The battery is aged and is in need of service, it also has wrinkles in I’ll definitely replace that soon. There’s also a small ding in the top left corner of the display and the hinge is slightly misaligned(although that’s an easy fix) overall it’s a pretty good machine for the price, although it does run a bit hot sometimes even after replacing the paste(it is the top spec though, so that’s expected)

today I was given a 2013 15" MacBook Pro for FREE! the display is funky and I was told "it just stopped working"... I cracked it open to find no SSD, is that normal? Im waiting for a charger to see if anything will work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, Luke great video. What about making a video comparing and contrasting the imac 21.5 or 27 inches. Although this is very informative for the MacBook community what about creating a video for the desktop series. I really like to tinker with the older iMacs desktops. I hope you take this into consideration. I will be looking forward to seeing this video. Thanks again for all your valuable information.

The mid-2015 models may not be much faster than the 2013/2014 models CPU-wise, but the graphics and storage upgrades are definitely worth noting. Not to mention the NVIDIA graphics models have a horrendous bug in macOS 10.13+ with the NVDIA drivers where the machine will slow to an absolute crawl in low memory situations when running at higher non-native resolutions (simulated 1680x1050 or 1920x1200). The 2015 model switched to AMD graphics and doesn't have this issue. Also, another *huge* upgrade with the 2015 models was the upgrade to much faster x4 NVMe SSDs, which are also user-replaceable with the proper adapter. How about a video comparing the 2013 to a 2015 with a stock and then an upgraded SSD???

I just bought a mid 2015 MCP with the 2.8 I7, 16 gig of ram, dedicated AMD graphics card, and a 1 tb ssd. Sale price was 1025.00, The battery only has 100 cycles on it, so it was recently replaced. Cosmetically, it is in near perfect condition, one very light blemish on the bottom of it. I am upgrading from a mid 2012 MBP 13 in, 8 gig of ram, with a 128 ssd, and the 2.5 I5 processor. Do you think I will see a noticeable upgrade in performance, and will it be as reliable as my mid 2012, which is the best computer I have ever owned, going on year 8 now. Also, do you think it was a good price for what I got. It has the new battery and comes with an original Apple charger

Mid-2015 with only integrated GPU is still the best for me. I used to have a 2016 15" but after a lot of problems I decided to sell it. Apple changed: 1) SSD which died just after 3 weeks, 2) keyboard 3) wifi and BT module in 6 months. I'm scary now of buying a newer model.

I can't decide between a 2015 15" MacBook Pro specced out or a 2019 13" MacBook Pro similarly specced (no dedicated graphic card though). 15" for the screen/dedicated graphic, 13" new for the newer chip
@rolebo
5 жыл бұрын
Sergio Serra You should definitely take the 15" model. The dedicated graphics of it are a big advantage. Also 13" is too small if you want to use your MacBook as your main computer. I have the 13" 2017 model and I often wish for a bigger display. Both 13" and 15" fit in a backpack perfectly, so except for the weight difference there's not even a big difference in portability.

Rouven Bozek yeah, I’d love the screen size but I’m worried that I’ll be wasting my money. Here in Italy Macs are much more expensive than in the US, I mean 1600€ for a 15” 16GB 256GB with AMD, for a 2015 machine is not very cheap. Still, the specced 13” 2019 would be more than 2000€...
