The 2015 15" MacBook Pro in 2023 - Still Worth It?

[@aFloridaRealtor]

this has been my holy grail laptop since I got it in May 2015. I kid you not it still acts brand new and programs still open up in seconds. Opening the laptop up and cleaning the dust out routinely is key to having your MBP running like you just purchased it

I believe it. My cousin had the last Intel 2019 and that thing was so balls powerful still even now. And runs quiet.. more than you’d think. That display was incredible too.

I also have a triple boot setup with windows and arch also installed in case I need it to fix up another computer. I'm sure I can get a few more years out of this machine before I call it quits.

[@ismaeltorres3219]

@@_patelsourabh as long as you're using an nvme, it's pretty snappy. Windows 10 runs pretty light on it, and since I have the integrated graphics only model, battery life runs pretty well. If you have one with an AMD GPU, then it's going to be using that GPU and hogging up excess battery life. There's a way to switch between the Intel Iris and the AMD GPU on the 2015 models, but I haven't tried that in years and I didn't really use it too much. Compared to an 11th gen Intel, the MacBook is going to run warmer and draw a bit more power. Still not too bad and does all the basic stuff I need to do on it. All the drivers still work fine so it's not as janky as trying to run Linux on it with full functionality.

[@BartechTV]

It's likely that the fans, and/or the vents behind the fans are clogged with dust, and the thermal paste under your heatsink is likely dried up too, causing overheating. If you clean out the dust and replace the thermal paste it should reduce temperatures significantly. You can find lots of videos on KZbin showing how to do this.

I have the one with the dedicated graphics card and used it frequently to edit 1080p videos in Final Cut Pro.

[@adeyinkaisrael695]

Did you get this, how is the performance?

[@aaronthedj12]

I bought a used one of these 2015/15" recently. It randomly shuts off, like dead dead. Usually when I'm running final cut or any DJ programs. I want to love this but cant rely on it. Any ideas as to why?

[@BartechTV]

My guess would be that it's shutting down due to overheating. The CPU in the 2015 MBP has a maximum operating temperature of 100 degrees Centigrade. If it goes over this temperature for an extended period then it will send a signal to the motherboard to immediately shut down to prevent heat-related damage. After 8 years of use, the thermal paste between the heatsink and CPU die is likely dried out and no longer doing its job, and the fans and vents are probably clogged with dust. Opening the laptop, cleaning out the dust and applying new thermal paste should reduce temperatures significantly. I have a video on my channel that shows how to do this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXXTp3efaNd0btU

The 13" is only dual core as opposed to the quad-core 15", and the integrated graphics is about 50% slower too.

Yeah I made the mistake of selling my 2015 15" to upgrade to the 2017 15". I instantly regretted it. I hated the lack of ports and the need for dongles, hated the touch bar, hated the keyboard, I was afraid of opening and closing the lid because of the flexgate issue and it wasn't even any faster. The 2016 and 2017 15" are two of the worst laptops Apple ever made. The 2018 model at least fixed the flexgate issue and brought an additional 2 CPU cores.

Hello great video anyone can tell me what kind of standard adapter nvme need?

[@BartechTV]

The best adapter is the one from Sintech. You can find it on Amazon or Ebay for around $15-$20. - t.ly/qDgSZ

Mac. 13 inch with 8gb nd 2,7 ghz nd 512 ssd or mac 15 with 16gb 2.5ghz nd 512 which one is recommended pl let me know asap

[@BartechTV]

Definitely the 15". The 13" MacBooks only have a dual core CPU. The 15" have a much faster quad core CPU.

Thanks Bartech TV for the review. I am thinking of getting a 13inch Macbook Pro Early 2015 core i7, 16GB RAM, 512SSD for Web browsing, power point presentations and basic stuff. Do u think I could use it for that purpose for another 4years before I upgrade ?

[@BartechTV]

For things like that - browsing and Powerpoint - it would be fine.

[@Tom_Oben2]

BarTech TV thanks so much Sir.

Great video mate 👍

Got one i7 15 inch for $445 with normal signs of use. It's good for everything except FCP in my experience

[@hassanjan5369]

Fcp??

[@elnathankouame122]

Is it possible to use it for video editing ?

[@BartechTV]

Yes, of course. Final Cut Pro runs very well.

[@waynepoole6120]

He says it in the video people still use these for video and photo editing...its just a bit slower than new macbooks on the market. He is a very kind person to answer you specifically knowing that he covered that in the video. Thats very Gracious.
