In our initial review, we found the performance to be snappy, and the SSD delivered a zippy transfer rate of over 600 megabytes per second. The 2015 MacBook Pro has a fourth-generation Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which should be fine for most workloads. With my newer machine, it takes more time to plug in a USB-C cable, and it doesn't automatically detach when it senses tension like MagSafe, which can prevent your system from crashing to the floor when someone trips on your cable. This is a small convenience, but I definitely welcomed having a MagSafe power adapter back on the 15-inch MacBook Pro. And, no, I don't miss the P3 wide color gamut that the newer 13-inch Pro has. But this older MacBook Pro's Retina display does have a sharp resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, and it's plenty bright and colorful. (You can buy a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter to power a second monitor for just $8.99.)Īs far as the display goes, 15 inches is almost too large for my long bus commute, as it's definitely a tight squeeze.

Sometimes my notebook freezes, and I can't use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard until I reboot.īottom line: I'd rather have one monitor that works seamlessly than two that force me to reset my computer.
I have a Pluggable USB-C Docking Station at my desk that can power two monitors, but I've had a devil of a time getting it to work with my newer 13-inch MacBook Pro. I also appreciate having a real HDMI port on the old MacBook Pro, as I could just come back to my desk and connect my Dell monitor. I don't use my mirrorless Sony camera often, but it's nice to know that I have a slot to use. I also like that the old MacBook Pro has an SD card slot, a feature that's missing from the newer MacBook Pros. With the old 15-inch MacBook Pro, I could just plug in my Plantronics USB headset and charge my mobile hotspot without having to live the dongle life. That means that, if you want to plug in full-size USB peripherals, you need to plug in an annoying dongle first - and remember to take it with you. The latest 15-inch MacBook Pro also comes with four Thunderbolt 3 ports.
My 13-inch MacBook Pro has a grand total of two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, though you can spend $500 above the base $1,299 price to get four of them (along with the Touch Bar and a faster CPU). 2 Thunderbolt 2/DisplayPorts, 2 USB 3, HDMI, SD card
