Agreed, MBP mid 2015 15 inch (16gb memory/1tb storage) is still a very good laptop. All I've had to do to optimize performance is replace apple's thermal compound with Artic Silver, air can all dust away from fans/logic board and replace speakers. Runs even better than before.

Macbook pro mid 2015 user here ! really enjoying it!

Great video👌🏾

I have a 2015 MBP 13 and I absolutely LOVE it. Never would have guessed at the time how much better it would be than the recent model years with all their issues. It still works very well for my daily needs 5 years later. Easily one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. That said, I am finally going to be upgrading to a 2020 10th gen model since they finally brought back the scissor switch keyboard and made a lot of other noticeable improvements that I think it's finally worth buying. Something that always forgets to be mentioned about this era of MacBooks is the MagSafe charging adapter. Brilliant design that they've now ditched in favor of going with all Thunderbolt ports.

This is the first time I'm thanking the ad targeting algorithm from google/youtube, I swear I was just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and I was like mmm... maybe I should do some research...and there you go, you popped up on my recommendations! LOL this is insane... I guess i'll stick to my 2015. thanks for helping me make my decision.

I’ve had my mid 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro for about five years now and it still works like a champ. That thing has carried me through college and into a software engineering career. I’m going to be cleaning it out and replacing the thermal paste soon on the CPU and GPU and I believe once I do that I’ll still at least get another 2 to 3 years out of it before it starts to bog down.

I have one of those and it never ever fails. Love the screen, trackpad, IOs, battery life, Mac OS updates! Very reliable laptop

Thanks !! I’m currently looking on eBay and entered a bid already! Not trying to purchase anything over $650 but thanks !! Super detailed ! I need this for my photo editing on the go.

still using my 1TB late 2013 retina macbook pro and going strong! have no desires of getting the current generation of macbooks anytime soon

Great video. I still have my 15" MacBook Pro 2015 and it is great. Just something to be aware of you can not upgrade the RAM on it however you can upgrade the storage which I would recommend. I upgraded my storage to Samsung 500gb ssd NVME drive and re-applied the thermal paste to the logic board. I also cleaned the fans and all the dust build up from 5 years. It runs great. Unfortunately do to not being able to upgrade MacBooks internals my next machine is going to be a PC build due to being able to upgrade and repair. Last great MacBook Pro.

I have the same model for the last 6 years, and it has been an incredible device, which I started noticing nowadays. It made me finish my Bachelor education with no issue, I got prepared all the homeworks, all the programming parts, all the things related to the school on this device. I am even now continuing my Master's with the same device as well, and it is still excellent. For years, I even played CS:GO with my friends, with the help of the BootCamp that setup the Win10 to my external harddrive. Nowadays I started thinking of upgrading my MBP to a newer model, like 2020 model M1 chips, however overall I noticed that my 6 years old grandpa is still so valuable and enough for me. It has much better sides compared to the newer models: keyboard, Bootcamp compatibility, design, Magsafe charging, I/O plugs (I even have a HDMI port, which I am in love!). So in this case I thought this is not going to be a good decision to get a new MBP by paying more than 1200 USD. I now just proceeded with Apple to a new battery to my MBP, as well as all the topcase including a new keyboard, a new trackpad etc. Then I am planning to get a SSD upgrade as well, for a better speed and size. Overall, these replacement will cost me almost 300 USD, however they are worth it. I really love this model and I had no information when I first purchased it in 2016, and it was my first MBP. Now I am so glad I still own this device, especially after I saw the crysis with the new MBPs 2017-2019 etc. (When I first saw the butterfly keyboard, I knew it was terrible and not reliable, so then this was agreed by the whole community as well.)

Great video. The Motorola comment was hilarious

I have one and it's still amazing working (development, animations, render, etc).

I still have mine, bought it brand new in 2016. 256 GB hard drive, 8 gb ram and i5 drive. to this date amazing machine. super fast and great battery

Looking right now for a dream 2015 pro.

Yep, have one, totally satisfied. I'm just in the process of upgrading the internal SSD from 240 GB to 1 TB (OWC)

SCARY Supra I am still very happy with it. It is the Retina version so video quality is amazing. It is never jerky or lags, i’ve never even had to ever reboot it ever. I highly recommend it!

I totally agree with you. I am hesitant to buy the updated macbook pro because they remove some ports and the headphone jack. This is more than enough as a frontend developer.

I have one and love it, the switch to USB-C and dongles turned me way off and I can still upgrade the drive which you can't with the new ones.

You forgot about the lighting of the apple logo. That is what makes me not want to upgrade. I agree also about the ports and the SD card slot. Very important

Thank you, I've been insecure because my mac feels old compared to ROG hahah but you make me positive!

Still using my 2014 MBP for many of the same reasons. I used to upgrade every 2-3 years. I hope Apple watched this to learn what is important to US. Waiting for them to make a new computer that I want.

I don't know who out there needs to hear this, but if your 2015 MBP is running hot (which I imagine a lot are at this point) it's super easy to get the proper tools to open it up, clean out the dust, and replace the thermal paste on the CPU. I did it earlier this week and I can't believe how much better my computer is running from such a simple fix.

Picked one up with 16gb ram for a great price and it’s soo good. If your debating it you should go for it, especially if you’re waiting for the switch to Apple silicon in 2 years. Things to watch out for are web cam issues like if the OS detects it. And sometimes the keyboard and trackpad stop working.

I'm getting a MacBook Pro 2015 with the top spec I'll use mostly for KZread content I never owned a MacBook before. Thank you for this video I really need to get the top spec then

Just ordered the 2015 mid year - MacBook Pro “OG” last night..

Late 2013 quad i-7 @ 2.3ghz/16gb ram/512 SSD/15'' Retina, battery with less than 20 cycles Dual graphics 2gb GT 750m/1.5GB Iris. Magsafe, thunderbolt, usb, SD, HDMI @ 4k....ports! Got mine for nothing as ebay screwed up, can edit 4k timelines in FCP...what else do I need? Yeah the 16'' are nice and have great speakers (And kernel panics apparently), but the 2013-2015 models were virtually identical save GPU swaps in 13/15 that perform minutely better in the 15's. Im sticking with mine, love this thing, add my JBL bluetooth speaker, save myself thousands....and dont forget all the dongles you will need!

I managed to snag one of these for $270 the other day and I feel better and better about it with each of these videos I watch

I bought 2015 13-inch macbook pro around Jan 2017, it's durable and works perfectly

I just bought one for computer science major. 2015 pro with i7 and 16g of ram. Only downside is the ssd size,but for price I can get a 500 or 1tb, and still be much cheaper than a new MacBook pro. Paid 600 for it. Battery has 332 cycles. Got it from an older tech guy.

"Razor", props for the honorable mention !

literally got a used one on Ebay for around $500 flat. works just as good if not better than my iMac 2017 :)

Hi! I was wondering if you could give us further infos about your macbook pro display ? Storage ? RAM & details. 🙏🏻

just picked one up today

I had the lowest spec model (2.7 GHz core i7 8 gb) of laptop back in 2017, but just last month I replaced the logic board to the 3.1 GHz core i7 with 16 gb of ram. Like you I refuse to upgrade to that dongle life lol, this is honestly their best laptop. Although I think the new 16in comes close. I think this will last me a few more years now. I would look into replacing the battery next because this COVID19 epidemic has me working from home so I'm wearing down the battery all day every day and night. I think it'll be fine with a new battery with a few calibration cycles. I am also training to be an apple technician and so I'm comfortable taking apart my machine and putting it back together.

i have the Mac Book pro from 2015 i got it from my mom because she used to do work on it but i got a littekl slow so she hade to get a new one so we erased it and i works fine to me

I have to agree buddy. The 2015 is a very good model. I find 8gb ram enough for what i use it for but admittedly i upgraded the ssd with a 2017 256gb for less than $100. MacOS Catalina runs fine, the keyboard is just fine too. I think the 2nd hand Macbook market is a much trickier as people will be selling their 2016-2018 models with the keyboard issues so buying one is a little more risky than the 2015. Its probably worth keeping the 2015 for another few years and wait for the 2020 2nd hand market to materialize.

do you believe a macbook pro 2017 or 2018 is just as good of a laptop or even better?

Just purchased one on Amazon because I had something spill on my old one and it won’t cut on. Some reasons I went with the 2015 model was for the durability and the ports because I want to try pulling everything off the old one if possible (any advice?)...nothing was backed up..😒😒😒but thanks because you hit other points that made my decision feel much better...

Besides that, the 2020 is a bit thicker than the 2016 and up to support the new non butterfly keyboard and the processor runs laps around the 2015.
