The Mid 2015 15-inch MBPs only came with quad core i7 processors. For the 13-inch the fastest clock speed processor you could get was the 3.1GHz i7 dual core and 2.9GHz i5 dual core. The fastest clock speed you could have with the 15-inch is 2.8GHz i7 quad core and the slowest being 2.2GHz i7 quad core. Yes the 15-inch has quad core processors and the 13-inch has dual core processors but that is not all the difference. However, there isn't much you can complain about when you are getting a Mac for free!Ĭlick to expand.The 2015 13-inch and 15-inch MBPs can both be configured to have 16GB RAM or 8GB RAM. Add on the crazy long battery life to the equation and you get machines that are amazing to use. is worlds ahead of any Intel machine in my limited experience (only tested them in the store). With any Apple Silicon Mac, the general snappy-ness when you open up the lid, turn on, open apps. Those will definitely make everything feel more sluggish as time goes on. If you are just doing simple tasks, then for now it will be fine, however do note that the 2015 13" only has a dual core CPU and 8GB of RAM (unless it's a CTO). Battery only lasts around 2 hours now, however that is partly because my cycle count is 1,150. I've also encountered many out of video memory errors while using After Effects and Photoshop (I've assigned them 12GB) because the Iris Pro GPU has a very limited 1.5GB of video memory. However, Cinema 4D slows the machine down to a near halt when both rendering and creating a model. Performance is plenty good enough for web browsing, document editing and photo editing. I'm also running Ventura 13.2 with OCLP 0.6.1. It's the base model with the 2.2GHz i7 4770HQ and 16GB of RAM, however I have upgraded the SSD from the original SSUBX 256GB to a WD SN570 1TB, which has improved disk performance by 2.5x to 3x. I still daily-drive a 2015 15" MBP, of which I am its original owner.
