The 2015 version still does what it needs to do without a bunch of bullshit that entitles Apple to raise the Price to the crazy level.
I am getting the 2015 version
same
i was in the apple store the other day checking em both out for over an hour. walked out of there with the 2015 13"
I waited for ages for the new model and ended up buying the 2015 one off Amazon the night they announced the new one.
good idea. itslike getting the 6s over the 7.
Tim is a business man not a I.T. Guy. So Sad
Why did they get rid of the Magsafe power connector? That thing saved my Macbook Pro from being knocked off the table at least 30-40 times. This new 2016 one is more like a toy, the old one was a tool.
vnitto Apple knows that, but they took the feature out so u have a higher chance of breaking the '16 version, therefore your forced to pay for it to be either fixed, replaced, or opt to buy a completely brand new one, making Apple more $$$$
Have you seen the price for the 2016 models? falling off a table can't break it.
Because it was big and bulky. Sure it was a really nice feature, but they needed to remove it to make the laptop smaller.I also heard that the laptop was light enough that the Magsafe power connector was actually too strong and wouldn't reliably break away everytime. Don't know if that's been confirmed anywhere, but it seems to make some sense. I've read that the convenience of charging from any of the four ports is great. So there's pro's and con's to its removal, but it's a step they had to take at some point. Hopefully at somepoint we'll see something akin to the MagSafe power connector in future iterations.
+Skarth Nope. The Pro series was never designed to be light or loose functionality. The '16 MBP looses the ports so Apple doesn't loose money paying for proprietary ports, which Apple solves by making dongles at ridiculous prices to generate more income.
Pro series is meant to cater to professionals in their field, which often, weight, doesn't much matter in.
Besides it's only 0.19kgs lighter. MagSafe 2 would've still been better than USB-C regardless of the effectiveness of its' weight.
That's a questionable statement. The macbook pro "lost functionality" in exchange for size when it lost things such as an optical drive, Ethernet ports, firewire, etc. I don't think that many people would be pleased with having massive laptops in exchange for small amounts of function. I mean magsafe is helpful, but it's not particularly high on my list of what I want in my laptop.
I by no means am a complete fan of the 2016 macbook pros. I was planning on investing in the 2015 macbook pro before the 2016 on was announced, and now I've been on the fence since it's announcements. The lack of magsafe isn't a huge factor here, it's the lack of ports, mainly USB 3, that is. The industry is definitely moving towards USB C, but it's not there yet. That's why my struggle is deal with dongles or hubs now, or be stuck with USB 3 while everyone's using C down the road.
For me personally that size difference does matter. As a student who is always on the go, yet still needs the power of a pro model. The difference in size may seem small on paper, but is definitely noticeable in person, and I can only imagine is quite significant when carrying it around for upwards of 12 hours a day.
I'm getting the 2015 MacBook Pro 15" with upgrade processor (2.8GHz (turbo boost to 4.0 GHz) for a number of reasons
1) ports inc. SD , USB , HDMI
2) MagSafe
3) higher processor rates
And ultimately the cost
Why buy a worse MacBook for more money , be smart people
Jamie Pirie 1. Ports can be used through dongles
2. MagSafe is a a loss but you can replace it
3. It's an older generation processor. It won't be much faster and it will be MUCH less efficient
4. The screen isn't as good
5.the speakers aren't as good
6. The trackpad isn't as good
7. It's not future proofed
8. It won't have the touch bar
9. Can't power 2 x 5k displays / 4 x 4K displays
10. Is heavier and uglier than the 2016 model (granted neither is ugly!)
But that's just my opinion...
James Rogers good points but extra cost for 2016 😒
Jamie Pirie It's not a bad idea. But benefits from the new MacBook is.
1. Faster SSD
2. Faster graphics (15 inch)
3. Slimmer design
4. Display, speakers.
In the end I think you will gain more speed from the SSD and the graphics card then from the small CPU difference. Either way both a great machines.
Jamie Pirie Ultimately if money is the deciding factor then there's not much you can do. You'll still be getting a great computer
You don't know much about processors if you think that the new one is actually slower. Go watch TLD's review, its significantly faster in real use pro applications. The other reasons are fair game, thought I dont see how theyre deal-breakers.
Next Mac Book Pro will not have a keyboard and they will sell it as an adaptor.
Hsks Vskda heck, they may as well start charging for OSX updates again at this point. 😔
I'm from the future and i want to tell you that the current 2018 MacBook pro luckily still has the keyboard included.
iPad?
**cough cough** Bluetooth Keyboard
That is iPad, not MacBook, dumbass. Also, it's "adapter" and besides, that's not even what it is. It's Bluetooth.
My question is why would they make a space grey MacBook Pro but get rid of the space grey iPhone? Lol
Darkrai Alucard TV These MacBook Pros were likely finalised before the iPhone 7s black color. Also, they aren't going to get rid of the color completely yet.
Darkrai Alucard TV Marketing. Next year they'll tout the triumphant return if the Space Gray iPhone and add the rose gold & gold MacBook Pro
Darkrai Alucard TV p
they didnt?
They would’ve obviously run out of the limited supply of space greynium if they had both.
Still can't afford either of the MacBooks
Night I have the 13in and it does kick ass
Night is it also good for gaming p? Could I play Batman Archam city, rocket league and minecraft on it?
NONOBODY USES A MAC FOR GAMING!
Oliver Knowles I'll play league of legends and over watch till my MacBook Air breaks :)
Samee
I own a 2017 macbook pro and let me break up some things for you.
Touchpad: unecessarly big, less palm resting space
Keyboard: horrible, youir fingers hurt after writing longer documents and you do not get used to it easily (1 key break, you have to change whole top case, 500$-700$)
Touchbar: you only use it for brightness and volume, comes in handy in final cut pro actually, but other than that only drains your battery, so pointless (repare costs???)
Ports: Too early for going over to usb-c ports, too little usb-c products in the market (dongle life, $$$)
Replacments: 2016 and newer models, replacments and repairs are nearly impossible, 2015 and older, you can replace battery, storage, ram and it won't cost you hundreds of dollars.
Other problems: dust under keyboard makes it break, thermal issues, screen glitch, case popping (have them all)
Price: 1400$ for 2017 base model vs used 2015 for 700$
maciek I’m getting a 2015 for sure.
2015 > 2016. This is the only case where the inequality is true
2015 > 2016 Isn't that just in general?
kimkishineegirl nope
The improvement in the antireflective coating seems pretty noticeable. They never made mention of it.
By when will they stop selling the 2015 model in stores ?
Jorge De la garza After anyone with a brain in their head buys the last of them off the shelf. 😀
Jorge De la garza usually they just stop restocking because their factories stop producing the older models. So whenever they run out.
*** SPOILER ***
They are both overpriced shit.
mariodrv overpriced is right.....but not shit
mariodrv Most Apple products aren't shit. You're just calling it shit because you can't afford the high price tag. Overpriced? Definitely. Shit? Nah, you just can't afford it
Yes they are - because you have to compare it to a similarly priced platform, and than yes it losses hardly and is therefore useless, overpriced but pretty "shit", in my book.
My 1845 Cinebench R15 score(which cost me 500 Bucks) begs to differ - how much did you pay for your FagBook?
well in the same logic, Ferraris, mansions and basically everything expensive is shit.
any laptop should have quad core cpu if it's more than $1000 period
I will stick with my 2015 MacBook Pro for awhile. They were right about the disc drive, but this not so much. I love my SD card slot, my hdmi port, and usb ports. Also the magnetic charger.
They shouldve kept the magsafe with 2 type-c ports on one side, and the hdmi and usb port on the other, making a huge jump into the wrong direction too fast is what apple did.
@Ralle0990 i bought the 2018 13' version a year ago and its the first quad core 13', the keyboard is good, id suggest get 2018+ or the 16 inch macbook pro
What I dont get is how reviewers don't understand rounding
1.37 : 1.4
1.58 : 1.6
It isn't hard
Just bought a 2015 13.3" Macbook Pro factory refurbished, was a good choice
Is it just me who's annoyed that in the title, the 2016 one has a capital B is MacBook, whereas the 2015 one has a lowercase B?
I'm honestly looking at a windows machine. I have had a macpro for nearly 10 years. But apple is really dropping the ball, HP is offering 4K, touch screen,much more power and all the ports we love, and with my favorite feature gone "MagSafe" I have no reasons to stay on team mac
I prefer the 2015 one because
A. It has better ports and it can have a mouse from other brands not just the Magic Mouse.
B. The Apple logo on the lid lights up.
Instead of making a touch screen, they add some bullshit touch bar to sell the exact same notebook again. Just like they did on iphone 7. Apple is getting worse with every product they introduce, I miss the times, when they were actually creating something worth buying.
Adding a touchscreen will never happen says Tim Cook
Based on my own experience, I'm pretty happy with my mbp 2016. Its performance is a lot better than the 2015 model and the screen and speakers are amazing.
the new macbook pros look great, despite the touch bar. i wouldn't be surprised if apple's next big update would be to make the entire display touch screen, er, i mean, a touch bar... now that would be ground breaking
I really don't believe that story.
Hasan Bilal Adak don't knock it till u use it just because u don't know how to use it doesn't means its not useful
I want the 2015 maxed out, but now wondering if I should get the 2016 due to the usb c
ok that settles it think ill just get the 2015 model. the 2016 doesn't seem that worth it to spend an extra 500-600 dollars on. im just a uni student who needs a new computer. i use adobe software, do light coding, and video editing for my degree
Lol I know you made this comment two years ago but did you end up getting it?
Make a video showing the rendering performance in final cut pro and compare it to a windows laptop and workstation pc to piss your viewers off. because it seems like a lot of them caught the "apple computers are overpriced" bug. even though they have no idea how superior they actually are for productivity.
you are rally stupid. Pick any PC at the same price with windows, and it will outperform it in ease.
unknown Flame
for example Lenovo ThinkPad P50 is way more powerful:
NVIDIA Quadro M2000M 4GB
Intel Xeon E3 1535M v5 Skylake vPro (4 cores-8 threads, 2,9 - 3.8 GHz)
16 GB RAM DDR4 (expandable)
4k screen
516GB SSD (expandable)
Simply said, everything is better and more powerful.
Kubas Inko That's not the same portability and weight :(
If you want portability, go with something else, this for portability and power. But i am pretty sure, that u can find lots of WINDOWS laptops, that are still way more powerful with same portability.
I don't know any "pro" who still uses final cut... In fact: most of my buddies are switching now - enough is enough...
WAJ why are you seriously considering macbooks as 'high performance'
They are mediocre at best but cost as much as a house, plus adapters for everything
Graeme S what kind of house are you living in 😂
Alahjandro Dagrate
lol😂
Graeme S if u live in cardboard box in africa then it cost more than ur house xD
Graeme S Depends what you do and who you are. Final cut performance is top notch. Gaming is not.
Thomas Lam macbooks are shit.
Freaking 4800$ for the top model? That's definitely not worth it, Apple. You can build a high end Desktop PC and buy a great dell 2 in 1 laptop (with same stats as this Macbook) with half of that price.
Apple is pretty much going for Luxury Products only.
Hard decision tbh, new one is sleek and has touch bar but old one has light up logo and magsafe. However im leaning towards getting the older one as no doubt Apple will be working on bringing magsafe 3 and light up logo back in future models.
Why is the light up logo even relevant? You can't even see it while using the damn thing. Only an Apple fanboy who cares more about the brand name and what other people think than the technology would give a shit, so strangers on the other side of a dimly lit room would be able to see that you're using an Apple product. Who cares? And magsafe is nice, but again... still at the bottom when comparing these laptops. The focus should be the hardware. The 2016 has large touchpad that hinders typing, countless people have had glitches with the touchbar, and it requires dongles. Apple has not added anything really new with this laptop, but the price is sky high. And even for the 8gb! You could buy a much better laptop at a LESSER price with better technology.
No Windows laptop is better at lower price, a lower priced MBP wont have the touchpad or large touchpad, unless you've used the new MBP you cant really say it has faults.
There are plenty of laptops that are NOT Windows that are technically better. For Apple, you're paying for the name. Granted Apple offers a great experience and the shit consistently works the way it's supposed to. That is where your money going. If you want a powerful machine that is truly versatile you should look elsewhere. I have a 2015 Macbook Pro and I have a 2014 HP. My HP has a 15 inch touchscreen, an excellent graphics card, 16gb, 2.9 ghz and 1 TB of space. I paid $1000 for it, and that was 2 years ago! If I wanted the exact same thing for my Macbook Pro I'd be spending over $2500!
Would never buy a HP, Dell, Acer etc laptops, I have a custom built PC with a i7 4820k, GTX 680 SLI and 16gb of ram but I want a laptop, my MBP 2009 was fast and smooth until it got water damaged and its screen res and contrast ratio was still superior to high end laptops in 2014 when I got a Vaio to get me by but like all non custom built Windows PC, its started to slow down. Speaker quality, webcam quality, backlit keyboard, battery life, macOS, Apple Store support kinda makes it worth it to go with a MBP plus they don't slow down, even after so much dodgy downloaded shit and being dropped everywhere, my MBP was still fast. I have 20% work discount but the specs I want for the new MBP, its still pricey compared to last years model. HP Spectre, Dell XPS or w/e their high end models are called, they're all pretty much close to MBP prices but lack the refinement and support.
I don't know weather I should buy the 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro, the 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro or the 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro with touch bar. I would love the 2016 15 inch but it is to expensive. I'm just stuck on what model I should get
Cameron Crawford if you have the money get the 2016
Number One Alvarez why? It's not better
Cameron Crawford That word 'weather' should be 'whether'
Last great MBP is the 2015 15" model with dedicated graphics.
Touch bar is actually a gimmick that has loss of functionality
I would recommend you to buy the 2016 13". Your only loss is the screen size. The newer MacBooks have everything better. Faster storage, RAM, CPU, and also few other not so noticed things like wifi, bluetooth, charging.
It also has better display and better speakers along with touch id and touchbar, which will surely get great application support in a few months.
You also get future proof super fast ports even though they might cause some trouble with dongles currently, but if you are gonna use your laptop for 3-4 years atleast, better carry a few dongles now rather than regretting it later.
The main reason why I suggest you to go for newer 13" MBP is due to the fact that it has TB3 ports which can be used to add external GPUs and you can easily use Nvidia graphics instead of the built-in AMD Radeon. Your 1080p youtube requirement is easily satisfied by the Intel HD but if you need the extra graphics power, you can use external GPUs. This way, you save money, get a portable laptop and also can make it powerful enough using eGPU when required.
no HDMI out. no sd slot. those two things by itself are enough for me to rule this out as a purchase.
the thing is, you Need new cables! in some cases adapter but mainly new cables, and thats not that huge deal
is it just me or apple actually uses lower speed SSD on 2015 base models. cause i have 2015 one with 256 gb storage and that gives me a read of 1125 mb/s and write of 1369 mb/s where as base line gives 600 mb/s write and 1300 reads
Gursehaj Harika that's pretty standard across the board for any ssd. Lower capacities will always be slower.
It's much lower. New ssd is 50-60% faster.
It’s 2018 and I’m confused about choosing macbook pro 2015 or 2017. Which version should I get? Please help me
WTF ASRE THOSE PORTS WTF WTF
sooner or later you will see them every where . why ?
because they are much faster
***** not only apple included those ports , HP and other companies did , and usb c will be the future like it or not .
personally I never used the SD card slot nor the HDMI port , so if I ever bought it I will need just one converter (usb c to usb a )
but only apple need their own super priced adapters
Kubas Inko you can use other adapters , it is all up to you , usb c is universal , so you can use any usb c adapters
***** wow , then the slower is better ?!
people make this kind of drama when apple removes old tech , they did the same when apple removed the dvd player and the flopy disc
I have the 2016 model and the only bad things are the battery life isn't as long as its said ti be and sometimes it overheats when I'm running Facebook for some reason, other than that its a pretty good computer
Nice 720p heaven benchmark lol
lol I though the fps were suspiciously high for an integrated gpu
can you share the cinebench open GL result for the macbook pro 2016 ?
so basically, they gave it a paint job and took away the ports... the internal specs seem to be basically the same
in2legos they are not the same, the new processors are now 6th generation, far ahead of what they were before. Also the new intel iris pro provides significantly better graphics performance
Stirling Studios and yet the same or above CPU can be found in any other windows laptop in the same tier for 1/4 the price of the new MacBook pro
Stirling Studios Still not good enough. Laptops are already at 7th gen Intel CPU's and Apple puts 6th gen in it...pff
mac book pro retina 2016 2.4ghz i7 or refurbished MacBook pro retina 15inch 2015 2.2ghz i7 ? which is better for youtube 1080p video editing ? and coding ? and regular stuff ???
Sadhu Koushik Go for the 2015. It's cheaper and you really only need an i3- at least an i5 processor. It's really meant for coding. So go for the 2015 much cheaper
Based on my own experience, I'm pretty happy with my mbp 2016. Its performance is a lot better than the 2015 model and the screen and speakers are amazing. With laptops, always buy the latest model.
2015, don't even think about the new one. The keyboard is super uncomfortable, EXTREMELY loud, and you will need need dongles for everything.
Hey David, I am currently considering buying the 2016 MBP 13" with Touch Bar, is it possible for us to have a private talk? I still have some questions about the Macbook..
What is your experience though?
I mean the difference is so small between them performance wise that you cant really tell.
The big difference would be the display + touchbar. And your newly added dongles.
does anyone else have a vertical scratch on both sides right on top of the hinges of the top side with the apple logo of 2016 macbook pro??????
battery life????
Robert Sacre for 2015 or 2016?
OK but on the flip side you don't need to upgrade to to all the latest and greatest technology, I mean this just proves it! Companies like Apple and other companies are just trying to convince you that you need all the latest stuff, they just want that you spend your money on it while there quietly dismissing popular standards in the meantime creating a user hostile experience!
You need understand this, they are companies and companies are to making money, not to lose it. And they don't care ...
actually the blacklevel is worse. 50%
not the contrast thought, coz of the bright maximum. but if you use it at night... 50% worse.
One question.. wich one can you dimm lower? minimum light
....I'm buying the 2015 version.
zepcrazyfre want to buy mine? I want the new one, he he. mine is fairly new, just bought it memorial day weekend.
Kathleen Torres how much you want?
zepcrazyfre 1300. its the 13" 256gb model
Kathleen Torres I'm sorry but I've found a better deal; 1300 is just to steep. I'd like to follow you if that's ok?
wow ^^
Butterfly mechanism = deal breaker
John Ralph its really not that bad lmaoooo
it really is compared to last generation
John Ralph its actually good and Windows in gonna follow.
Saeed Ghassemzadeh your comment is the epitome of irony.
kamboj sb its all a matter of what you're used to. I have the 2016 MacBook pro and I've never owned a MacBook before so this is natural to me
what a complete waste of money this is cpu is just marginally faster than last years model might as well just keep last years model and u still have all the ports a pro level laptop should have and not a big bag full of dongles to carry around with you !!
david collin I've got one myself it's not bad with dongles you only need two that gives me 6 usb slots, Ethernet slot, sd card, hdmi
+Sezu You pay money for a laptop. You pay to get funtions from that laptop. You agree this laptop by itself has the ability to handle everything you can throw at it.
Now your laptop can't handle a USB cable. You pay extra for a dongle to get the functions on last years model.
What is point of this Laptop? To me it's a message that we are all getting fucked and paying extra to be fucked by making holes into new holes.
kapil busawah It can handle a USB cable, but it's a USB C cable. Really the dongle that most people need costs $5-$30. I don't know why you think everybody needs to buy Apples dongles.
What did you expect?Every cpu is marginally faster than the previous year. It's not Apple's fault we've reached a point where we can't get a significant performance increase.
It is Apples fault the amd GPUs that are in all the macbooks are a joke to for the 2400- 4000 price 15inch macbooks my 4 year old laptop with a nvidia 850m is better for productivity with its cuda cores ! These new laptops are piss poor at best !
getting the 2015 version, thanks for the help. I couldn't decide which one I wanted :)
There is no dual core i5 version for the 2015 15" model. The 2015 15" base model comes with a 2.2 quad core i7.
AceUp459 It is the same case with the 2016 model. This comparison is between the 13" models, which only comes in dual core because Intel doesn't produce low power quad cores.
Why do you test battery based on web browsing on supposed "pro" machines?
I got the newest one and kinda disappointed they removed the magnetic charger thing and all the ports. Like where on mother earth can I plug in a mouse without getting charged extra for an adapter?
Thanks for this video. I'll pick up the 2015 due to the accessibility of the USB. I really don't want to have to spend extra money on other items. Especially since photography and video are a BIG thing for my business.
Wise decision! The 2016 model sucked hard :D
I wish they hadn't gotten rid of the light up logo. It allowed people to personalize their MacBooks with cool little stickers. The new one looks dead when you put stickers on it and it's not lit up.
I love my 2015 Macbook Pro
Wise decision! The 2016 model sucked hard :D
I have read that if you turn off File Vault on the 2015 the SSD speed goes up to over 1 GB
Everyone in 2017 is going to be saying quit yanking my dongle.
Hi. i have macbook pro 2015 and i so love it. but when i work photoshop or vmware it get so hot. is it yours? (sorry for my bad english)
Can you make fcpx comparison?
Which 13inch model should I get?
I do...
3d rendering, coding, light gaming, web browsing, document editing, exporting large amounts of data, and 3d model generation.
i knew this years macbook would be really bad and no real change in performance except graphics. I bought macbook pro 13 2015 and i'm really happy with it
i really dont like those synthetic benchmarks. better stick with some video encoding tests (handbrake for instance), at least for 10 minutes.
You know, for me the only problem has been the hinge, it really breaks my neck when I'm typing on my laps. I expect this expensive machine to provide at least well-engineered hinge, but unfortunately they've gone really lazy with this area of design 💩.
The keyboard is awesome, no comment on that, I honestly don't understand why people are going crazy about it. For me it's really comfortable although I type for long hours.
I'm getting the MBP 2016 13 inch without touchbar and i7 2.4Ghz with 8GB RAM. I'm getting it because I personally won't really miss the touchbar and it's an acceptable price at AU$2,650
Stirling Studios Just know that the price difference is more than just the Touchbar v non-Touchbar. What else do you get along with the Touchbar? Four USB-C ports, importantly having two on each side of the computer (which is much more convenient for choosing side of charging, ext. monitor etc. than the non-Touch with its two USB-C on the same side); slightly faster RAM; slightly faster video card; and three built-in microphones instead of two. Compare on Apple website. Just wanted you to know the true differences before you make your choice. 😊
In the comparison snapshot with the 13" Macbooks he used the $1,800 '16 version with touchbar compared to the cheapest 2015. Seems like the non-touchbar version would have been a better comparison? The cost difference is staggering.
why does everyone keep forgetting the boot time? i know it's not a big deal but it's interesting to see so we can compare with our machines.
I'm a little confused why there are tons of articles about the lack of 32gb of ram and not the fact that for a $2400 laptop it only has a 256gb ssd. I wanted to upgrade my 15inch macbook pro because 256gb just isn't enough space and over a year later that's still the base size? Just fucking ridiculous.
Michael Smith
There's up to 1TB of SSD storage on the 13" and 2TB of SSD storage on the 15".
Apple went for speed instead of capacity, these SSDs are some of the fastest if not the fastest
This is what im looking for. Thank you for the comparison review. This helps a lot.
So much hate against a laptop. I don't mean to judge but in my opinion people that insult to a computer usually are not so smart
José Francisco Ramírez you seem like a person who doesnot use laptops. People like us who work in different softwares really care before buying laptops.
what comparing i5 2.9 to i5 2.7 of course expectation of higher difference is expected but if the same as in in 2.9 6267u to 2.95287u a slight difference which makes no notable difference is observed in terms of usage
Now that the 2017 version is out do I buy the 2015,2016, or 2017??
I'm purchasing 2015 15 inch tomorrow. Is it still a completely viable option?
Do I get the 2015 MacBook Pro 15" or the 2016 MacBook Pro 13" with touch bar?
Good comparison. Just one thing. you didn't mention the touch-ID scanner, which is new on this year's model, and only available on the touch bar-model. For me that is is not a gimmick. Rather it's an important addition, as I want security and ease (password management, log in speed, a.o.). If you want that, you're forced to spend at least 1799.
i really love the macbook look and mac os but the specs provided are not enough for me....why apple why...
Is it worth paying 500 USD more? plus buying few dongles for connectivity even a 3rd party is 100 USD approx.. so we are looking at 600 USD is it worth the additional damage?
difference being additional 100 GB SSD, touch ID, touch bar, lighter weight, brighter screen. am a windows PC guy planning to move to MAC.
Hey nice video. Im looking for a new laptop mainly for watching movies, browsing and listening to music and for something will last for at least 5-10 years. Im not in to games or video editing, sometimes i do photo shop. At the moment i have 17' windows laptop but its crashing all the time after updating to windows 10 and its so anointing, im sick of window thats why im thinking of switching to mac. Would you recommend anything?
For the size they could have included something like a 940MX
As much as I'd like to buy the 2015 version, the 256gb upgrade of it cost the same as the 256gb 2016, might as well get the 2016 version. The graphics performance really improved significantly and that's one feature that I take into consideration. Ughh need to get used to usb dongles though.
Just get one multipurpose dongle
LOVE the look of the new mac but I just can't bear the impracticality of the new Pro... :/
Macbook pro 13 not touch bar 2016 vs Macbook 12 2016 please, specially battery life ?
I am looking for a laptop but am not sure which one. Macbook pro 15 or the surface pro performance based. What would you guys recommend? The ports is not a problem for me it's more of user experience. I have never used a mac before. I already own a 3 year old Sony vaio Windows 10.
everyone hates on the macbook because they see another computer with better stats on paper for less money.
you should know computers don't work like that, stats on paper is not the same as stats on software
No, everyone is hating on the macbook because apple did the most stupidest thing that will never be innovative, REMOVE ALL FUCKING PORTS! Who the fuck wants to carry around dongles just to use a macbook PRO??
as much as we hate it, In the next year or so, all the new expensive laptops are gonna be using usb c. even the Samsung galaxy 7 is rumored to remove the headphone jack
arik alam Oh no...
le MAMAJUARA i know, right? you can buy a $1000 computer, and it will be shit in 2 years. it happened to me. my laptop (a lenovo atm - hoping to get a mac) was great, but now it's straight up unusable. i treated it really well, too. the mac that my grand mother has had for 5 years works like it's new, and she abused that thing...
Billy Mays Exactly!!!!
how good would the glowing logo have looked on space grey MacBook ... massive error killing that off
How about 2015 vs 2017 version? Is it worth to get 2017 with Kabylake?
Hey waj, I was wondering if you could do a battery test between the fully spec MBP 2016 vs. fully spec MBP 2015 (13") because I really want to know if my battery life will get reduced when I max out while buying the 2016 MBP w/touchbar (13"l
The disk speed test was maxed out on the read speed for the new MacBook Pro.
@mwtechnology how did you dent a Mac that expensive already?????????
no sd card .... bad thing done
i have heard extreme complaints about the 2016 battery life.. i am stuck because the 2016 is more sleek and better color spectrum display and better design.. but no glowing apple.. the older one has glowing apple and better battery life...
I'm confused between the 15 inch 2015 and the new 2016 touch bar as the price of this two are the same in my country. But the compact size of the new one that make me want it over the last year model, also if I get the 2015 I get more power and also much more screen real estate. So any suggestion?
(my English isn't very good)
the new MacBooks use supersampling and are a lot more blurry in interfaces. this can be fixed in the settings but then there is barely enough space in the screen. basically, if you have something to do with interfaces, you will be disappointed with apples incredibly poor implementation of scaling on this notebook...
Man those are some slight changes on the bench mark speeds and I'm pretty sure with this new touch bar the Macbook is going to need that extra power from the processor.
This video compares the Macbook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar to the Macbook Pro 2015. However, the Macbook Pro 2016 WITHOUT the Touchbar comes with only a 2.0GHz Processor compared to 2.7Ghz for the 2015 model. Got to compare apples to apples.
I do (relatively intense) video & photo editing (premiere/photoshop/Lightroom). I can't decide between the 2015 15" or 2016 13" for uni?
Why not a regular USB port anymore??😱😱
which mac is better ? 2.4ghz with i7 or 2.9ghz with i5 ?? i am not so impressed with the touch bar...
2.4Ghz i7. The speed generally doesn't really mean anything. The most important part is the architecture of the CPU and the features that come with it. Generally, an i7 has better multithreading performance (Good for video editing) in comparison to an i5. An i5 is usually good enough depends on your workflow. If you are those types of person that likes to open 20 chrome tabs while doing programming, go for the i7.
Sadhu Koushik also the 15 inch is allot faster since it's quad core. Just go into a apple store and try it for yourself you will see the huge difference.
Can this 13 inch new Mac drive a 4K 27 inch monitor no problem? And is it enough to edit 4K videos on Final Cut? Thanks
This was not as good as many other comparisons. He missed battery life and speakers also
Does it worth for the upgrade?
I actually like the new butterfly keyboard BUT my 2015 ver has 2 THUNDERBOLTs ports and a sd card reader.
i want to buy a macbook pro this year, can you suggest which macbook should i buy ?
macbook pro 2016 base model 13" 2,0ghz i5 8gb ram or macbook pro 2015 13" base model i5 2,7ghz 8gb ram ? i saw the benchmark for macbook pro 2015 base model higher than macbook pro 2016 base model.
thank you :D
The factory wallpaper changed... That's about it!
Comparing the 2016 macbook pro 13" non touch base with 2.0ghz Intel i5 vs the 2015 macbook pro 2.7ghz or 2.9ghz , which one would you suggest has a better performance and a better buy overall . once I configure the 2015 model with 256 gb SSD the price difference between the two is only 100 bucks give or tske so a bit confused which one to get . pls help !
they should've included adapter in the package
claim to fame.. touchbar? in some areas maybe, but for the rest, it is not as useful and kinda seemed forced. apple used to make things easier and is user friendly
