    Many questions here and I'm summarizing some of the answers: - is this laptop suitable for college work? Yes, this computer will work beautifully for most college students. Caveat here is if you're planning to run some heavy lifting with graphics or video editing. I edit with this on final cut pro and it works great. - can I use this for college programming work? Absolutely, this will work great. I use this for my side projects, upload the projects to the cloud. - what's a good price to get one? $7-900 is pretty good based on what I've found for the dual graphics mid range model with 512 GB storage. - should I get one? Yes :) it's awesome - how does this compare to modern macbook air? They're both different - the mbp works well for all types of workload, whereas the air is light, has long battery life but is a tad weaker on the processing front. Get the mbp if you can as its at a steep discount due to depreciation. - can I upgrade this laptop if I want to? Yes! The storage can be upgraded with a modern NVME ssd.

    - which model should I get? I'd recommend the i7, 2.5ghz with dual graphics, 16gb ram. This is the middle tier model, and slightly more expensive than the 2.2ghz model with integrated graphics. Don't get the integrated graphics model as it's known to have graphics issues.

    Thanks, answers to a lot of questions I have on my selection to upgrade from my 2009 MBPro 13" w/1TB SSD. Video editing is slow, but ok, export from iMovie takes a long time and now isn't working. My MB 13" case has the USB and other ports, along with a dvd player that I rarely use. Mine has a 2.26ghz , intel dual core processor and I didn't realize, a Nvida GeForce 9400m, 256mb card. I use it as a box with wireless key & mouse and a large monitor. It's a great machine. I'll check further, but I think I will go with the non-Retina MB and check if performance on each is comparable. I'm relooking at the Retina, not decided.

    I totally agree. I purchased the same model on eBay for exactly the same reasons. It was a slightly harder decision (now in 2021) with the M1 now on the scene, as this is the most significant jump in terms of performace. However, in terms of my actual needs, and existing hardware it needs to integrate with, this is still great choice.

    I just bought my first Mac this year. End of 2022. I bought the Mid 2015 MacBook Pro, 256GB SSD, 16GB Ram and integrated graphics. I love the laptop so far, just typing this on the keyboard feels so good. I paid $400 USD for the laptop. It's labeled as factory refurbished and it's basically brand new. The battery only had 35 cycles. I can of course notice it's a slight bit slower in certain things compared to a newer model but for everything I use it for i.e. KZread, E-Mail, a bit of Audio editing and recording. So far I really like the MacBook, for my first Apple laptop I'm quite impressed with the quality of this 2015 machine.

    Hello Zhia! Thank you soooooo much for this video, it was very helpful. At 6.36min you mentionned the upgraded model with dedicated graphic card for editing. I'm not sure what you're talking about exactly?? I'm very interested ;) I'm also curious to hear your advice on my situation. I currently have a 2013 macbook pro that I've been using for years. It's in great condition but I feel like it's time to upgrade it because video editing becomes a real pain - the app keeps shuting down and it's very slow. I run multimedia programs (like photoshop, premiere pro, adobe audition etc) on a daily basis. However, I often work with low resolution video, hd format etc. So in my head I don't I necessarly need the latest 2020 macbook since I don't work with heavy files like 4K. BUT, because I use video and sound at the core of my artistic practice I'm confused in what I should buy. Since I'm relying on the laptop for my profession smth tells me to buy the lastest macbook because it would probably last me longer + all the dowsides of this 2015 one. But I'm afraid to make a stupid decision by spending so much money on smth that might not be necessary. I hope it makes sense ahah.

    How many more years do you think this will last? I want to switch to Mac OS from windows, but I currently use a lenovo yoga 720 with an i7-7700hq, 16gb ram, gtx 1050, 1TB SSD. Is this Mac a significant downgrade or do you think they would be pretty even? I can get the dual gfx 2.5 ghz model with 16gb ram and a 1TB SSD for $1000 but would be willing to spend more on the newer 16 inch if it would be worth it to extend the longevity of the device much longer. I would hate to drop over $2000, but would think about doing it if seen worth it. I am a college student in the economics field but would like to teach myself some coding along with doing learning some video/photo editing. Opinions?

    Great questions! I think the 2015 is going to be more than enough for programming course work. For editing you'll maybe wait a couple minutes longer but it's not a deal breaker. The 16 inch is not a 0-to-1 breakthrough for me, I can do the same things with the 2015, maybe slower but i don't mind.

    Thanks for the video, but I have some advice to you and I hope I don’t sound pretentious. First cut this cut to show the computer itself with these music or put at the first of the video, put some lighter music, or just throw cinematic shots at the product while you’re commenting, it’s more straightforward that way and everyone will appreciate it. Second, put the pros and cons and experience first, price and value second and conclusion and thought in the end, not the other way around, because that way people will start to understand what the pc benefits them, instead of hearing your opinion first on how the laptop is. That’s it, keep it up.

    Aminam the top end model I haven't played with it. But based on my early research, I found all of them except for the base model to be very capable. I use final cut pro and recommend it as apple has done a great job with it. Oh I didn't know that it's the lady model with optical. thanks for sharing!
