The 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's last quad-core laptop with a full set of ports and a MagSafe charger. This configuration pairs a 2.5GHz Core i7 (4870HQ) with 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a 2880x1800 Retina display. It suits writers, coders and photo editors who want a sturdy aluminum machine with a good keyboard and real USB-A, HDMI and SD card slots. Against newer MacBooks it is heavier at 4.49 lbs, runs an older macOS at best, and its Intel Iris Pro graphics are weak next to any Apple Silicon chip. Buyers still praise the screen, keyboard and battery, and many keep one as a reliable second machine.
