Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro (Early ) 13-Inch 3.1GHz Core i7 16GB RAM - Up to 2TB SSD A1502

This is the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display from early 2015, a dual-core Intel Core i7 model with 16GB of RAM and up to 2TB of SSD storage. It was the last 13-inch Pro with a full set of ports, including MagSafe, two Thunderbolt 2, two USB-A, HDMI and an SD card slot, alongside a 2560 x 1600 screen rated at 10 hours of battery. The listed price of $449 at the tracked store as of October 28, 2026 is the only price recorded in that window, so there is no recent range to compare it against. It is a used or refurbished machine at this point, and its value depends heavily on battery condition and storage size.

Best forBuyers who want a cheap Mac with a good Retina screenPeople who need USB-A, HDMI and an SD slot without donglesStudents and light office users on a tight budgetAnyone who prefers older macOS-friendly Intel hardware
Pros
  • Sharp 2560 x 1600 Retina display
  • 16GB RAM is generous for this generation
  • Full port set: MagSafe, USB-A, HDMI, SD card, Thunderbolt 2
  • User-replaceable SSD (proprietary but accessible)
  • Solid aluminum build and a well-regarded keyboard and trackpad
Cons
  • Early 2015 hardware is over a decade old and no longer gets new macOS versions
  • Dual-core i7 is slow by current standards for heavy editing or compiling
  • Battery is likely worn and not easy to replace
  • No USB-C and no Thunderbolt 3
  • 2TB SSD claim should be verified, since storage was often upgraded aftermarket

Questions and answers

Is this MacBook Pro still worth buying in 2026?
At $449 at the tracked store as of October 28, 2026, it makes sense as a cheap second machine for browsing, writing and light photo work. It is a poor choice for video editing, modern games or anything needing current macOS.
Does it run the latest macOS?
No. The early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro tops out at macOS Monterey, which no longer receives security updates. Check which apps you need before buying.
How is the battery life now?
Apple rated it at 10 hours when new. A used unit will be well below that, so ask the seller for the cycle count and battery condition before paying.
What ports does it have?
Two USB-A ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, HDMI, an SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack and MagSafe 2 charging. There is no USB-C.
Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?
RAM is soldered and cannot be changed, so buy the 16GB version. The SSD uses a proprietary Apple connector but can be swapped with a compatible drive.
When is the price lowest?
The only recorded price is $449 at the tracked store as of October 28, 2026. Used prices for this model tend to fall over time, so compare against other listings before buying.
