"Pro" used to mean "professional" for Apple. Now it just means "expensive".
- valesco 6y agoIt’s been at least 13 years that the meaning has changed. Since the introduction of the 13 inch MacBook Pro.
- drewzero1 6y agoWhile I do feel they should've continued the plain old "MacBook" designation for the 13" beyond 2008, I've got to admit the 2009-2012 13" MBP was a solid workhorse for a moderately professional user. In my experience with that whole line I really feel like only the 17" truly deserved the "pro" moniker since it got better options (processors, matte display) than the others.
- erickhill 6y agoMy 2015 MBPs (I have 2) rock. Ports galore, too. Hence why I've never upgraded.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoYou've never upgraded because it has a non-upgradeable RAM and SSD. :-|
- gurkendoktor 6y agoThe SSD can be replaced. I loved my 2015 MBP to death, but the CPU has not aged well for heavyweight languages like C++ and Swift. Switched to an M1 Air with the same 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Display+Mid+2015+SSD+Replacement/48251 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Disp...
