Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Core i7 3.1GHz 16GB RAM

The 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro (MacBookPro12,1) is Apple's last 13-inch model with a full set of built-in ports: MagSafe, two Thunderbolt 2, two USB 3.0, HDMI and an SDXC slot. This configuration pairs the dual-core 3.1GHz Core i7 (Turbo Boost to 3.4GHz) with 16GB of RAM and a 2560x1600 Retina display. It suits writers, students and light photo or code work who want a solid keyboard, a Retina screen and no dongles. Against later USB-C MacBooks it is heavier and slower, and it no longer receives macOS updates, so it is a used-market buy rather than a new one.

Best forBuyers who want built-in USB-A, HDMI and SD card slotsStudents and writers on a budgetLight photo editing and everyday multitaskingOwners of older Thunderbolt 2 and FireWire gear
Pros

  • Heavier and thicker than later 13-inch MacBooks

What reviewers say

Owners of the 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro consistently praise its keyboard, Retina screen and port selection, and many still use it as a daily machine. Critics note that it is dated: no current macOS, modest graphics and aging batteries on used units.

What people mention
  • PortsPraisedOwners value MagSafe, HDMI, USB-A and the SD slot that later models dropped.
  • KeyboardPraisedThe scissor keyboard is widely preferred to the butterfly keyboards that followed.
  • DisplayPraisedThe Retina screen is called sharp and good for photo and document work.
  • Software supportCriticisedIt no longer gets new macOS releases, and some current apps will not install.
  • PerformanceMixedFine for browsing and office work, but the dual-core chip and Iris graphics lag on heavy editing.
  • BatteryCriticisedUsed units often show significant battery wear and may need a replacement.

Questions and answers

Is the 2015 MacBook Pro still worth buying?
For basic tasks and buyers who need built-in ports, yes, if the battery is healthy. It cannot run current macOS, so check that the apps you need still support it.
Can it run the latest macOS?
No. The 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro tops out at macOS Big Sur, so newer apps that require Monterey or later will not install.
How does the Core i7 compare with the i5 version?
Both are dual-core; the 3.1GHz i7 has a higher clock and Turbo Boost to 3.4GHz, giving a modest edge in sustained tasks. The 16GB of RAM matters more for multitasking than the chip choice.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
RAM is soldered and cannot be changed. The SSD is a proprietary Apple part, so plan on the storage size you need at purchase.
What is in the box?
The laptop and an authentic Apple power supply. No other accessories are included.
Does it have USB-C?
No. It uses MagSafe for charging, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and an SDXC slot; USB-C devices need an adapter.
