This beuty was seriously the laptop of today From the past
Comment from : aboab dcm

there is only one good thing about the touch bar, You know that you can skip adds by dragging your finger across the time line when watching youtube, I found that super useful, and I'm sure that developers didn't know about it, It just happens to be possible I just purchased a early 2015 13inch macbook pro with 16gb ram which I care the most about because the storage is upgradable using a simple and cheap adapter so fingers crossed it will work well and btw I only payed $209 for a grade B+ model

It’s not enough that you apologize for the bird I want him to make an apology video! With a ukulele 😊
Comment from : MobileDecay

As for software, you can use OCLP to patch it up to Venturabr After upgrading to a ssd and 16gb ram, I have my 2012 15 mpb patched up to Ventura, and wow does this thing feel like a new machine again
Comment from : Trevor

I need this thing but it's so expensive in South Africa 🥲
Comment from : MENZI PERCY SIBANYONI

Still good in 2023?
Comment from : Reuben Singh

I use a mid 2014 13 inch mbp for programming and it doesn’t miss a beat Makes it REALLY hard to upgrade, as it’s just so damn good
Comment from : wlcrutch

Wondering if audio software like FL studio would work well enough on one of these
Comment from : Big Sigui

Have this and needs battery replay and and get super hot, is it worth the replacement or just go for the M chip macbooks
Comment from : Fmsl

I picked up a 2012 15 inch retina MBP with 16gb and the 26 i7 and its awesome with patched Ventura installed I use it for recording with logic and it is fantastic Productivity And web browsing are also excpectedly great
Comment from : Jackson Howard

Hi there! I am actually thinking of buying this particular laptop because i have to bring it to school for all the school work like typing documents, researching and etc I need a laptop with a battery that lasts 4-5 hours max Do you think this macbook will be the right one for me as i have to take to school with me?
Comment from : suzana sabrin

I picked up one of these the other day they are dirt cheap compared to prior years I remember 2-3 years ago used they were going for 300-500 for a base 13 inch Today you can get one for around 200$ or less if you shop around THe M1 macbooks really kinda slashed the used intel macbook prices and rightfully so they solved the whole slow and hot problem macbook had for decades But for a secondary machine for like task an intel mac is perfect
Comment from : manga key

Ma i the only one with this MacBook having issues like fan to max and choppiness when resizing windows when playing a simple YouTube video? I don’t understand if it is normal, or it is just my MacBook that is giving up
Comment from : Antonio Possidente

After gone thru replacements of 1 screen, 2 touchpads, 4 batteries all done myself, my a1502 is still rocking solid today, do not show shy on any task This is a masterpiece!

please keep making videos, stumbled across your channel Your content is amazing bro
Comment from : Reyn

I have the 15" since mar 6, great laptop but heavy and have overheating problems
Comment from : גקו ראש עיגול

I just bought a second MB pro 2015 13 inch for 200 EUR in very clean conditionI just replace the battery and added a 1tb ssd
Comment from : TD DT

If you're looking for a backup laptop & you're nor a creative professional, it works just fine & will still perform about 90-95 of your tasks It would be good to upgrade the RAM & SSD to maximize performance
Comment from : Martin Waring

$700?? I bought what appears to be a brand new 13" early 2015 macbook pro i5 27ghz 16GB ram on backmarket more than a year ago for $265 I also grabbed a 215" Acer SB220Q for 1080p gaming and can play the most demanding games flawlessly with my Frontier Fiber optic internet I guess I just know when to purchase lol idk cause I got a iPhone 11 Pro 256gb in gold for $335 maybe 5-6 months ago, and the same one sells for $411 now
Comment from : StonedLove

im confused with your opinion i heard yes but no its good but its no good its great but wont recommended it was a mix of emotions mad traumatizing
Comment from : Alejandro ospina

Hi there, I was thinking of buying this laptop for music production and I was wondering whether you would be able to connect a guitar into the laptop Thank you!
Comment from : Gail

6-8 hours? I run one of these I got for £150 and fixed up with a new battery and drive, along with my thinkpad, and compared to the thinkpad, 6-8 hours is godly Though I do all intensive tasks on my custom built pc, so I don’t drain it fast
Comment from : Nequa Star

Very good review
Comment from : univera1111

I created my entire YouTube career on a 2015 MacBook pro and I used it up until 2023 This is an amazing computer but unfortunately mine majorly slowed down and made editing with premiere very difficult
Comment from : Raymundo 2112

Still use my A1502 Works like on day one Just upgraded the ssd to 1TB This thing is worth every penny
Comment from : Ceetress J

That cam and mic beats most windows laptops still
Comment from : Larry Taylor

My screen just started flickering! I program on it and a little bit of photoshop, it has been my favorite laptop ever
Comment from : Wun Wub

I still use it in 2023 as a pro graphic/video designer
Comment from : Julian

Upgrade the ram and put a SSD in it It should make video editing much more snappy
Comment from : WolfBitOdyssey

I have been using this macbook since mid 2016 and it has been a powerhouse for a long time This laptop is the sole reason why I refuse to purchase another laptop despite my current needing to upgrade my SSD and replace the battery (as others have mentioned, the battery will degrade and it will severely impact your experience)brThe features you get from a macbook are great, the hardware is great, but none of that matters to me when I consider this next point; this laptop can take a beating and has even survived 3 full cup spills I was feeling a bit discouraged from fixing this laptop and considered buying a new one, but I have realized with the help of this video that there is still treasure within my trash
Comment from : Josh G

I'm finally letting go of my mid 2011 MacBook Pro and getting a 2015 model I once borrowed one from a friend to edit and I found it held its own very wellbrbrIt's still worth it in 2023
Comment from : Bright J Mweemba

I have a 2015 pro Only thing wrong with it at this point in 2023 is it now tops out at OS Monterey The touch pad has also become hard to press, and I seem to need to give it a firm press, more so than when it was new I don't feel I need a pro, will probably take a look at the AIR
Comment from : dwoodog

I got a 15" 2015 MacBook Pro a couple of months ago for $350 with a tired battery Mine is a top tier spec with the 28 Ghz i7 and dedicated graphics w/ 16 GB ram After replacing the battery, ditching MacOS and installing Manjaro Linux, it's safe to say it's one of the best decisions I've made in the past few years With enough love and patience these machines can age like fine wine The screen is still so much better than most mid-range Windows laptops these days (especially around the price I paid for my unit) the keyboard is much better than the butterfly keyboard, and battery life isn't an issue from replacing the old one and running a lighter OS If you're willing to give Linux a try and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, these older machines can be fantastic daily drivers
Comment from : Gabriel Sierra

Watching this in my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro It's still working pretty well and I am using this as my main laptop for my Virtual Assistant job
Comment from : Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa

Still use mine now - more than happy running older software on it and thanks to the 500gb SSD and 16gb Ram it still runs fast - love it lots
Comment from : mark ockwell

I think you paid a lot for it You could get a new MacBook Air M1 for $900, and you paid $700 for this With that you will get warrenty, new softwear, much better battery life, better display, and much much more portable For $200 i think you are giving up a lot
Comment from : Neil Coelho

Ngl IMO if you have 16GB of ram, some external ssds and Opencore it can be a amazing deal
Comment from : An L

I just picked up a used 2015 pro for 400 bucks and it is amazing for someone who has never owned a Mac definitely worth buying one used the battery only had just over 100 cycles so its like hardly depleted its original capacity plus I like having all the ports and not needing annoying adaptors for plugging in my audio interface
Comment from : Brad Carter

The 13" was never "Pro" in my opinion
Comment from : Wolfe & Co (Archive)

I have a Mid-2014 154 Inch Macbook Pro that is still running strong to this day It is not as snappy as the M2 that I just got, but I feel I could have kept using it for another 2-3 years if I hadn't gotten into an accident that bent the chassis 8-9 years of service is insane for a laptop, I am usually happy if I get 5-6 without severely degraded performance
Comment from : Boggs

i have a macbook pro 2015 i7 and its a banger
Comment from : shortRAGE

I'm still using my Macbook Pro 13-inch Retina (the exact same one as in this video, just a year older) almost every single day I'm using it for light-work, such as typing documents and working for Facebook pages It's almost 9 years old now and the battery is still very good The only sad story that I've had with this machine is that it had a major screen problem, for which I was just too late to have it fixed for free You must have seen this with other people, when you turn off the screen it looks like parts of the screen were burned-in I've fixed this (kid you not) by rubbing Listerine mouthwash on top of for about two hours This way you rub off the anti-glare, and now the screen is fine (only have more difficulties with sun reflection)
Comment from : Armand Wauters

I love your channel because it's a reality check on how useful older tech is in modern times
Comment from : sidspacewalker

should i change battery , it last for 90 minutes on wifi
Comment from : devesh chauragade

short answer, yes i use one as a backup machine/apple machine i take it on trips so i dont have to lug my gaming laptop i edit audio on it and it works great
Comment from : Gene Auber

I still use my 2015 MBP 13"I really love thisI bought MBP 16 " M1 pro chip , 1 TB 2021 and after used that 3 weeks I decided return and come back to my old 2015 MBP This one still great in many ways
Comment from : Thanh Nguyen

What's funny is that a lot of the form factor design and weight, the new ones actually are quite similar (Saying this as I own the 2012, 2015 and the new second gen M1 14")
Comment from : Christian Olmeda

bro please tell me the shrek parkour game you were playing at 650
Comment from : JW music

3:33 that's not overexposed at all, it's just bad dynamic range
Comment from : Luka Trdina

700 USD in 2022 is pretty expensive, you can buy MacBook Air with M1 and it will run circles around your machine
Comment from : Štěpán Pazderka

Thank you for your help! It works perfectly!
Comment from : michal sedlacek

I love this laptopbrbrIt is fast, compact unlike my old laptop and I love the trackpad It is impressive that you can use it
Comment from : J

it is like driving an old American classic car - you aren't the fastest, and you aren't the most comfortable, but you're still feeling cool and happy It's just the Apple magic :)
Comment from : Viktor Shcheplyagin

Do you recommend this laptop for Web design and coding in 2023?
Comment from : Gyani Admi

Hey man, are you happy with the performance on Monterey OS? I’m still on the original E Capitan, same exact pc, but I need to upgrade due to lack of software support Thanks!

Comment from : Wicked 6

Hi, what video editing program did you use on this computer? I just picked one up and am using it for video editing purposes but nothing crazy Thanks
Comment from : richpfessional

15 inch is better plus i got it from gazelle for $350 plus youre not using the mic properly It sounds HD when you get super close to it
Comment from : History and Reviews

When I watch those kind of videos I remember the kid from the " Fist fight " movie with Ice Cube when he said to the teacher who he was blackmailed that he want Mac Pro like " I want Macbook PROUUU " 😅
Comment from : Just Hristian

This is currently $279 on Amazon
Comment from : Reactiverse

I still use the base 2015 MacBook Pro in 2022 and it's great The design, the screen, the ports, are all still etremely modern It's definitely dated in terms of power but it works great for streaming, web surfing, music production, and light photo editing & video editing It's definitely handy to have a Macbook as an iPhone user for airdrop, imessage, etcbrbrI use it alongside my gaming PC and it does exactly what I need it to dobrbrI did get the battery replaced for around $150 through Apple and the thing works like new again From what they told me the 2015 MBP is about to be cut from their list of servicable Macs so if you're an owner of one looking to extend its lifespan a bit, I'd recommend getting the battery serviced at least before its too latebrbrApple really knocked it out of the park with this laptop in terms of usability and design Amazing screen with all the ports you'd ever need No need for dongles, no issues with the keyboard I can see myself using this thing for another 5 years
Comment from : pasta

hey! would you recommend the Macbook Pro 13” Early 2015 i5 27GHz for photography editing? That’s the only one I can buy and I would really like an expert opinion!
Comment from : Eddy Manuel Peña Guerrero

I bought an Apple refurbished 2015 15"MBP in 2020 with my stimulus check for about $1000 1TB SSD, 16GB memory Still on Mojave Battery is at 81 health so it's getting down there But for now, it's an absolute machine Will never go back to Windows
Comment from : John Doe Bean

Heres some tips!!! br1: save documents separate from a backup! (Also backup your mac) dont restore from the backup as that can bring issues back unless you have to brbr15: 😂… Do a diagnostic test with it plugged inbrbr2: using disk utility clean your disk and reformat it to the default settings brbr3: do first aid, I think from the smallest volume to the largest… maybe double check thatbrbr4: re install the software using recovery modebrbr5: sign in and set up the mac brbr6: Do a nvram, pram, and smc reset brbr7: use reduce motion in accessibility, and adjust basic battery/performance to reduce usage (it is still older) brbr8: dont over stuff yo hard drive ! Keep decent bit of storage brbr9 enjoy your newly tuned mac!

Comment from : drock

I found a MacBook Pro 2014 13 inch i5 processor 26 giga ram 8 at a price of $ 451 and so far I do not know whether to buy it or not because someone told me that support and software updates do not download for it (note I have not tried a MacBook before)

I owned one and it is still going great with 16gb i7 processor, but downside it is not powerful enough for Lightroom Battery life is getting worse though
Comment from : Salsapartyanimal

I'm a graphic design student using an early 2015 13-inch MBP w/16 GB ram, a 29 processor, and 500 GB SSD Its more than made up for the 500 dollars I paid back in 2018
Comment from : B S

I use a chromebook as a budget but this mac seems as a good budget so i am gonna get one and try
Comment from : Noob Ne

and it seems like Apple has finally killed off all older macbooks from 2016 and 2015 with macOS Ventura, unless if you install a patched version of it
