About the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.8GHz Quad-core i7

The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display pairs a 2880 x 1800 screen with a quad-core Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB solid-state drive. It has both integrated Intel graphics and a discrete AMD GPU, a backlit keyboard and HDMI out, and Apple rates battery life at up to 9 hours. It suits people who want a large, sharp screen for photo and video work, though at 4.5 lb it is a desk-first laptop. Buyers should note this is an older generation: the Retina panel and aluminum build still hold up, but the processor and graphics trail current 15-inch models, and the 73 ratings on record average 1 out of 5, so check the specific unit and its battery condition carefully.

What reviewers say

  • 1 / 573 ratings

The ratings on record for this configuration are very low, averaging 1 out of 5 across 73 ratings, so buyer sentiment here is poor. That score likely reflects condition and age of the units sold rather than the original design, which reviewers generally rated well when new.

What people mention
  • DisplayPraisedOwners like the sharp 2880 x 1800 Retina screen for photo and video work.
  • BatteryCriticisedBuyers of used units report batteries that no longer hold their rated charge.
  • WeightMixedThe 4.5 lb body is fine on a desk but noticeable in a bag.
  • PerformanceMixedThe quad-core i7 and 16 GB RAM feel quick for everyday tasks but dated against newer machines.
  • ReliabilityCriticisedLow ratings point to age-related failures and units arriving in worse shape than expected.

Questions and answers

Is this MacBook Pro still worth buying?
Only as a used or refurbished machine for light work. The Retina screen and 16 GB of RAM remain useful, but the processor and graphics are several generations old.
How does it compare with newer 15-inch MacBook Pros?
Newer models are thinner, lighter, and much faster, and they add USB-C/Thunderbolt 3. This generation keeps HDMI and MagSafe-style charging but lacks modern ports.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rated it at up to 9 hours. On a used unit expect less, and check the battery cycle count before buying.
Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?
No. The RAM is soldered and the SSD uses a proprietary connector, so buy the 16 GB / 512 GB configuration you need up front.
What is in the box?
Typically just the laptop and a power adapter with cable. Confirm the charger is included, since used listings often omit it.
Does it have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3?
No. This generation uses MagSafe, USB-A, HDMI, and Thunderbolt 2, so newer USB-C accessories need adapters.
