It can literally become anything I want it to.

Seemed like a great time to get the most value out of it while everything was new.Īnyway, I have the 15' 2016, I don't mind TB3 at all.

They put a new display, logic board and top case on for free.felt and looked like a new computer.one of the reasons I ended up selling it. Mine cooked and thankfully I was able to take advantage of the repair program. The HD 6770M was notorious for video issues. In 2017, that GPU, cache and ram speed are probably the most dated 'feeling' components. It should warm your heart to know that new computers sold today are still in the same processor clock range. That said, clock speed has stagnated quite a bit since 2011. I regrettably sold mine to buy an iPad pro.worst tech swap I ever made. I used the data doubler to gain an extra hard drive because I never used the optical drive. Plus, that expansion card slot can be useful. You've got every port there was from ethernet, usb, firewire to thunderbolt (sans SD slot, if memory serves). I adored owning the last 17' notebook apple made. I owned the very same MacBook Pro, and absolutely loved it. I have thought of upgrading to a 2015 model simply cause I have had this model now for almost 5 years and it would just be a change of look, but have wondering if it really is worth the trouble since I don't have an issue with speed, but maybe I have been complacent and what is out there now is a lot better?Īlso, how is the glare on the 2015 macbook pro displays? I have a high res anti glare display and really enjoy that feature especially when I end up working outside.įor those asking why I am not considering a 2016 macbook pro? Not into this USB-C thing, the lack of ports and upgradability. It still looks almost brand new, runs high performance apps very well, launches apps and boots very quick. It is a dated computer by today's standards I guess, but it doesn't feel like it. It runs fast and smooth even on El Capitan (not sure about Sierra) I have been using a maxed out late 2011 17' MacBook Pro, the highest spec model 2.5ghz i7 with SSD and 16gb ram.
