  • Since the M1 mac are actually pretty good, the question that no one really asked is if what used to be the best-used budget MacBook still any good?

    I still love my MacBook Pro 2015 and here old school glowing Apple logo that makes here iconic and good looking. I still loving the keyboard that that she have the USB adapters. Something else is that wen I see my friends at college struggling with their new MacBooks that doesn’t have usb I laugh

    Speaking of build quality, I dropped my 2015 MBP while open back in 2018. Made a nice solid dent in the chassis on the corner to the right of the track pad, so much so that the lid doesn't close completely flush anymore (but enough so it still sleeps). It's still going strong. The only real problem with these MBPs was the screen delaminating problem. I had to have the screen replaced, thankfully via recall/warranty.

    Great vid! I have this exact computer and I love it because of the ports (I use the HDMI and SD Card slot all the time), MagSafe, its upgradability, amazing display, and it's not so so much heavier or thicker than the next gen model pros.
    I'm waiting for the (rumored) M1X 14 inch pro to be announced at WWDC in June to replace my laptop. I have the exact problem that my battery simply ain't what it used to be. Sure I could get it replaced for $150 or something like that, but I'll only have it for a few more months and low performing battery doesn't matter when there's a pandemic so I'm home all the time and can plug it in.
    I'm hoping that the M1X 14inch pro will have Magsafe and the SD card slot again. It definitely won't have HDMI since it'll simply be too thin (and it's Apple, they don't give you ports) so I'll have to get a dongle for that.

    This MacBook has it all. Mine is still going strong. I would love to own an m1 air but I always realise how amazing the 2015 mbp is. Great keyboard. Fantastic screen. Business look. Decent battery life. Mine last about 6-7 hrs. I’m a light user. Glowing Apple logo. Overall this is the real McCoy. Buy it while you can.

      @Dark Knight I got it off the Facebook market. It's been some time since and I paid $200 for a battery just for the issue to not actually be the battery. It was the OS and a few programs causing kernel panics. I solved them last week and I'm typing on it rn lol. so my current ran me $550 in the end and I replaced the 256 factory ram with Samsung evo pro 1tb ram via adapter. It runs beautifully now and battery life is amazing.

See this video ua-cam.com/video/0afYsGenALQ/v-deo.html there's little, if any, difference in real world speed and it's supposedly a little quieter due to the fans not kicking on all the time. I bought the 2.9 i5 w/16 gigs of ram over the 3.1 w/8 gigs of ram, as that was my budget options at the time, and I couldn't be happier. I still use it to this day and will continue to do so until it dies. In fact I'm about to replace the thermal paste on the processor in the next couple of days.
