Apple Macbook Pro 15 2015 Vs 2017

I 'downgraded' from a top of the line 2017 15 Macbook Pro to this base model MacBook Air. My work consisted of programming and web browsing, and for those 2 use cases, this laptop actually performs better. Furthermore, the keyboard feels a lot better to type on than the previous generation, and shouldn't have any of the durability concerns. I also like getting the function keys back, the touch bar never did much for me. Lightweight, fast, and a great value.

I bought this to use with my 2015 Macbook pro 15 and it works as intended (Full res 75Hz, sRGB mode) with a thunderbolt to display port cable. Colors are as accurate as my mac display although the mac might have just a little more contrast but in day to day usage, you really won't notice. Ergonomics gets a 10/10 and I've set this up at full stand height with vertical arrangement of the two displays. Didn't go for the PA278CV since my laptop doesn't have a USB-C port, it's pricier and the display panel is more or less the same. Overall, I'm really satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend if you want a monitor for productivity and content creation.

Easy setup. MUCH faster than my 2015 15 Macbook Pro Retina. The battery life is excellent.

I just got this MacBook Air 15 to replace a MacBook Pro 2015, whose battery is the def worse for wear. The MBA is perfect for me. Large 15 screen for an OG and I no longer need to have the processing power of a MacBook Pro (of any silicon). I now pretty much use my MBA for all my browsing and youtubing (live concerts yes!) and basic apps vs using the iPhone and/or iPad-Mini I was using before (bcs touch typing is still the greatest skill ever). B&H is awesome too.

I upgraded from a 2015 Macbook Pro 15. That machine was pretty good, but this one is quite a bit faster. The screen looks great, the speakers sound good (WAY better than the old one), and from power on to login screen is about 10 seconds. They did remove the Network Utility, which is something that I used from time to time. My only gripe is Apple's insistence on dumbing down MacOS for the iOS users. The Control Panel layout was way better on the older operating systems. Aside from that, the computer is great.

This allowed me to use my old power supplies for my new MacBook Pro 15 Retina. Note: The new 15 MBPro (2015/2016) requires an 85w power supply; earlier power supplies that came with 13 MBPs don't carry enough juice (but look nearly identical). I ordered two of these (multiple offices, and will probably get a couple more when school starts again. A much better deal than buying entire power supplies - nice job with this, Apple.

Got this to replace a 2015 15 MBP which sadly had a cracked screen. It's a Macbook Pro, is there an alternative?

I replaced my MacBook Pro 15 Mid-2015/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/AMD M370X 2GB Graphics with this one. At the beginning, I was afraid I would miss all the specs of the old one, but I've been loving it ever since. Even with 8 apps opened at the same time and a bunch of tasks to do, it has proven fast enough, extremely worthy of its price and the battery is great for daily average to intense use. I would recommend it for most of the people, specially college students.

Very good solution for my MacBook Pro 15 - 2017 it's reliable, fast and lightweight. You see a quality product!!!
