the last good intel macbook pro was made in 2015 and even then it has no ethernet, a proprietary ssd connector, 47W TDP processor (in a laptop!) and antiglare coating that goes bad and rots. people seem to want 250 quid for them. cool

this year a couple people have asked if i want a used business laptop sending to me and that's very generous, but nah i'm good thank you (unless you got a 2015 15 inch mbp)

yep, paid around £200-250 for a ~2015 MBA from Cash Generator in I want to say 2019, and that kind of pricing made sense then, but less so now the only use for intel ones is very specific workloads

That's extraordinarily cheap, I've seen 2012 ones go for that much in cashies and CEX just today.

a 2015 MBP benches about 15% faster (single core) and over 50% in multicore than the laptop i have now. i was thinking to buy one to replace both it and my 2009 mac mini, which itself is worth like, fifty quid?

the performance doesn't bother me at all i just want to consolidate everything. i don't earn new mac money

i don't think i've heard many complaints about the temperature of the 2015 mbp, but i guess a lot of people used it on a desk and i wasn't really listening to mac podcasts in 2015

also being fair with that mba, i don't think CEX would have taken it with the state of the power supply, i ended up never leaving it charging unattended

from memory it's got a P7550 Core 2 Duo (2.26Ghz) which was the mid range model, there's 8GB of ram which is the max that works (and twice apple said it can take)

i've been running mojave on it thanks to dosdude's patcher, which runs surprisingly alright but it doesn't feel snappy. like not bogged down, but it feels like you're watching things happen at 0.8x speed sometimes.

(until the end of feburary it was my all day, every day computer)

if you want it we can work it out. i'll put a 256gb SSD in it and put either the factory OS on it or Mojave again or w/e you want. hit me up on discord
