LATE 2015 MACBOOK PRO BLUETOOTH
The wireless connectivity includes the usual features like Bluetooth 4.0 as well as WLAN 802.11 ac. This means the MBP can be used as a real working device – one ambition that does not apply for the slimmed down Air-series or the new 12-inch MacBook. The highlights of the port variety are the two Thunderbolt 2 ports (also usable as Mini-DisplayPort, up to 4K 60 Hz) in addition you get two USB 3.0 ports as well as one HDMI port (4K 24 Hz). The specialists from iFixit only rated the MacBook with 1 out of 10 possible points. Our critical eyes could not find any build quality flaws, but we can still notice the very limited upgradeability. The chassis, which is milled from a single piece of aluminum, is not the lightest of its kind with 1.6 kg, but the stability is excellent in return and you probably get the most precise display hinges in this class.
LATE 2015 MACBOOK PRO WINDOWS
Although there are many high-quality Ultrabooks with Windows nowadays, not many can actually reach the level of Apple. The MacBook is still the benchmark for all the rivals in respect of the quality. All the corresponding information is available in our unboxing and test video on YouTube as well as the previous review article.
LATE 2015 MACBOOK PRO PRO
The best way to characterize it is that the GPU intensive apps perform the same as the 'late 2013' MacBook Pro 15-inch and the CPU intensive apps perform the same as the 'mid 2015' MacBook Pro 15-inch.Since the chassis and the ports are identical to the predecessor, we won't cover them extensively once again. We added it to the Motion and Tomb Raider graphs. We only had a brief test session with the 'mid 2014' MacBook Pro 15-inch with 2.8GHz Core i7 processor. So if you plan to buy a refurbished 2014, you've been warned. Oddly, another 2014 unit we tested was no faster than the 'late 2013' MacBook Pro 15-inch. We added storage results for the 'mid 2014' MacBook Pro 15-inch with 1TB PCIe-based Flash. And it can boast of being smaller and lighter. On the other hand, its flash storage is second in speed only to the latest 15" model. That's due to its having only the Intel integrated GPU. The 13" Retina MacBook Pro lags behind in all but one graphics test. However, the re-engineered keyboard with butterfly mechanism remains a 12" MacBook exclusive.

Yet in some tests not yet published, we saw only a 5% gain.īesides storage and graphics, a notable new feature is the Force Touch trackpad with Taptic Engine. In the graphics intensive tests featured here, the new Radeon R9 M370X GPU was as much 62% faster than the GeForce GT 750M it replaces. (NOTE: The 256G version has a slower large sequential write speed of 1198MB/s.) It is faster than any single flash module we have tested to date. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro's PCIe-based Flash Storage is a screamer. RED bar in graph indicates the FASTEST result.
