So currently I am researching to buy a MacBook Pro for school because my gaming computer isn't portable and is very unpractical for what I need. I'm looking at two right now, the 2015 MacBook Pro 15" vs. the 2017 MacBook Pro 15".
2015 MacBook Pro Pros
- Cheaper
- Light up apple logo
- Still has all the ports
- Mag Safe charging port
- Better keyboard
- Better trackpad
2015 MacBook Pro Cons
- Bulkier than newer models
- Less powerful CPU & GPU
- Screen isn't as good as newer models
- Down Firing speakers
2017 MacBook Pro Pros
- Slim design
- Quiet Fans
- Amazing Screen
- Touchbar
- Bigger trackpad
- Noticeably more powerful
- "Amazing" speakers
- Touch ID
2017 MacBook Pro Cons
- Only has 4 USB-C ports
- No Mag Safe charging port
- More expensive
- Glowing Apple killed
- Worse keyboard
- Touchbar
- Really big trackpad
I have never owned an apple laptop before but I have always had iPhones. When it came to computers, I've only had windows. When I was younger I had an iMac Mini hooked up to a CRT Monitor though. My sisters have macBook air's and they love them but I'm not sure if the same applies for Pro's. If there's anyone who has a 2015 MacBook or even a 2017 MacBook I really would like your opinion to help me decide on either one. As of right now I'm leaning towards the 2015 Pro mainly because of the ports...
