Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro 13" 2015 i5 2.7GHz 16GB 512GB

The 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro is the last of Apple's thick-bodied Retina laptops, with a 2.7GHz dual-core i5, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Its appeal is the keyboard, the MagSafe charger, the HDMI and SD card ports, and a battery that still outlasts most newer thin laptops. It is a used-machine buy for writers, students and light coders, not for video editors. Against the 2016 and later Touch Bar models it is heavier and slower, but it needs no dongles and is far easier to repair.

Best forStudents and writers on a budgetLight coding and office workBuyers who want ports and a real keyboardA cheap first Mac
Pros
  • 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD handle many browser tabs and apps at once
  • Scissor keyboard with real key travel, unlike the 2016–2019 butterfly models
  • MagSafe, HDMI, two USB-A ports and an SD slot, so no dongles
  • Battery life still strong for its age, often 7–9 hours of light use
  • Retina display is sharp and color-accurate for its class
  • Parts are easy to find and many repairs are straightforward
Cons
  • Dual-core 2.7GHz i5 feels slow next to any modern quad-core laptop
  • Weighs about 3.5 lb and is thicker than current Airs
  • No USB-C, so newer chargers and docks need adapters
  • Stuck on an old version of macOS, which limits some current apps
  • Used units often have worn batteries, so check cycle count

Questions and answers

Is the 2015 MacBook Pro still worth buying?
Yes for writing, browsing, schoolwork and light coding, where the 16GB RAM and SSD keep it usable. It is a poor choice for video editing or anyone who needs the latest macOS.
How does it compare with the 2016 Touch Bar model?
The 2015 has the better keyboard, MagSafe and more ports, while the 2016 is thinner and faster. Most buyers who value typing and ports prefer the 2015.
Can it run the latest macOS?
No. It stops at macOS Monterey, so some newer apps and updates are unavailable. Check that the software you need still supports Monterey.
Is the RAM or storage upgradeable?
The RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded, so buy a 16GB unit. The SSD uses a proprietary Apple connector but can be replaced with a compatible drive.
What should I check on a used unit?
Check the battery cycle count and condition, the screen for delamination or dead pixels, and that the SSD and all ports work.
Does it have USB-C?
No. It has two USB-A ports, HDMI, an SD slot and MagSafe, so USB-C accessories need adapters.
