I was looking for a MacBook as I transition to be a college student. I decided to go with this MacBook because I value the ports and wanted a bigger size. I am very pleased with my purchase. I was, at first, nervous about purchasing from Adorama because 1) I had never heard of this website before, 2) it is a camera store, and 3) the prices were a couple hundred dollars less than from Apple or Best Buy. But, I did some research and read some reviews on Reddit and Yelp to understand that this website was, in fact, legit. Not to mention it also is a lot cheaper than other sellers of the same laptop. I had GREAT customer service from Adorama. I was emailed several times about the shipping and even called by a real person when a complication arose in the process of billing (my fault, not theirs). Also, the shipping was free and arrived in 3 days. Overall, a great experience and definitely would recommend to buy from Adorama.

Overall a great buy. The only issue I feel is the weight is on the higher side. Little inconvenient while traveling.

I have been looking for a 2015 era MBP to replace my 2009 version, and was happy to find a new one from Adorama. The laptop works exactly as expected, and this model year also has the USB and SD card slots that I did not want to give up.

This one still packs a punch and is much less expensive than the 2017 model. If needed, buy the OWC 1TB drive separately and install yourself, it's a breeze.

I have had this computer for about 2 years as a dedicated music server which I never used much for anything else. My main Dell computer was having problems so i was forced to pull this for use until I get a replacement. All my computing experience has been with Windows PCs. I do have an ipad and an iphone. The computer is extremely easy and fairly intuitive to use because it has a consistent interface for all applications. I have been able to resolve any issues through google searches with my answers obtained mostly through the apple site. The integration with the Iphone and Ipad has been seamless. I can receive and respond to text messages on my computer as well as have centralized access to all my files on icloud drive. I need to set-up onedrive as well. The build quality and aesthetics are phenomenal. The keyboard is very nice to use (close to my Lenovo work computer), and the display really pops after recalibration. Battery life has been fine at around 8 to 9 hours with light use, i.e., spreadsheets, videos, reading and surfing. Its performance has been zippy even with multiple applications open. Everything about the PC wreaks quality and thoughtfulness for the end user. I will be purchasing an Apple computer to replace the Dell. Unless you really need the speed of the 2017 version, there is really no compelling reason to upgrade.

This computer is nothing short of amazing. We were hesitant to upgrade to the newest MBP because of the adapters needed (USB-C). This machine is so fast, and the display is unbelievably brilliant and crisp. a MUST BUY!

Awesome computer. Adorama is fantastic place to buy from. No sales tax, super fast free shipping (I opted for the free shipping and even though it was estimated 5 business days, my computer still arrived in 2 days), and a great product.

Bought computer for my wife. Converted video business to MAC and was tired of trying to keep wife's personal windows system working. Mac is fast, stable and has all the ports on it that she needs. Adorama order process was fast and efficient. Delivered before expected.

I had purchased a Lenovo Yoga 710 to perform my photography editing using Canon's DPP software and I found that the processing time was a little slow and the fact that the keyboard right shift button was not in its normal place. These factors made me return the Yoga. I saw a photography friend editing his photos using a MacBook Pro 15" and I was very impressed. I figured I had to trust his decision to pay more for the MacBook. I saw a great price on Adorama and took a leap. My first day was a bit choppy trying to get set up but after a few calls to clear up the confusion of me having an apple account already (former iTunes account) I was off and running. I have never been a track pad fan at all! So, I was anxious to see if the hang gestures would create frustration and hysteria during my photo editing and other tasks. Nope. Everything seems 'natural' and the set up is very intuitive. I sometimes hear the jet turbine sound when I ask it to do something or if its doing its own heavy lifting behind the scenes. It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes it does it when I'm only typing a review - like now. Not sure why but not a huge deal breaker. I get the massive power of the processor when I need it so no complaints. The Retina display is on point! I think the Lenovo was a tad bit higher in quality but I am very satisfied with Apple. I am near 50 and after having several windows laptops I will never go back to that system. Ever! I see why so people have such strong loyalty to the brand. It simply - Rocks!

When I was first introduced to Apple computers, I had no idea how much they would come to be an integral part of my every day tasks. From projects small to large, these machines have, almost without fail, provided me a with the greatest amount of time efficiency! Any inefficiency was from a lack of good priorities or goals when I sat down at my computer! This machine comes loaded with all that a beginner up to a professional needs in a computer!

I ordered this computer after much research. Did not want to buy newest product MacBook Pro with touchpad because I am a new MacBook user. I have iPad and iPhone but have not needed computer until now. Also put off having to pay lots of money for apple computer. Well, I am glad I bought this apple product and will never go back to pc. I love it and highly recommend using this company to buy any product they sell!!!!! Delivery was excellent, price excellent and I will use Adorama again!

Of the many Apple computers I have purchased over the years, this is the best one I have every owned. PRO: As usual with Apple, the hardware is amazing and second to none. It has a gorgeous Retina screen and a very responsive Force Touch trackpad. The SSD is extremely fast, and the 16GB of RAM is plenty for me. Battery life is great as I easily get 10 hours out of it. Of course, macOS runs great and there are some excellent ways the software and hardware compliment one another. One other nice thing, is that Apple's products are very dependable and have a high resell value. I use the MacBook Pro daily for software development, photo editing, and regular apps like Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc., and it takes everything I can throw at it and handles it with no problem. I absolutely love this device and recommend it to anyone looking for a pro level laptop. CON: It is more expensive than most PCs, but you really get what you pay for both in terms of solid hardware and elegant software. The only thing it cannot do well is gaming, especially since it uses Intel's integrated Iris Pro Graphics instead of a dedicated GPU. If you are a serious gamer then you already know that Apple is not the right company for your needs. SUMMARY: Amazing device, wonderful productivity machine, fast and dependable performance, and a high resell value.

THE LAST GREAT MACBOOK PRO! If you are a professional musician, DJ, or use this machine for performing complex tasks having to "Plug in" peripherals, this is your model. The NEW machines will drive you nuts chasing down dongles and adapters. Since they're now available, this model is a BARGAIN!

The current Macbook Pro, while somewhat more expensive than its PC counterparts, is unmatched in performance. Beautiful screen, fast, so light, operates smoothly--it just does what it's supposed to do. After much research found Adorama's price to be the best available.

We purchased an iMac a few months ago. our first Apple computer. We love it so much we bought the Macbook Pro. Thought it might be difficult learning a new system, but it has been fairly intuitive and straight forward. We also just purchased an iMac for my mother who just turned 90!

Exactly what I was looking for
By ELVIN P.
I have been looking for a 2015 era MBP to replace my 2009 version, and was happy to find a new one from Adorama. The laptop works exactly as expected, and this model year also has the USB and SD card slots that I did not want to give up.
A spectacular display is just the beginning
A groundbreaking Retina display. A new force-sensing trackpad. All-flash architecture. Powerful dual-core and quad-core Intel processors. Together, these features take the notebook to a new level of performance. And they will do the same for you in everything you create.
Retina display - Multimillion-pixel view.
When you pack so many pixels into a display - over 5 million on the 15-inch model - the results are positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism. A spectacular 2880-by-1800 resolution on the 15-inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. And text is so sharp, you'll feel like you're reading email, web pages, and documents on a printed page.
The Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. Its high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks and whiter whites. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you're going to love what you see.
The Force Touch trackpad - Press a little deeper, do a lot more.
With Multi-Touch OS, you can use realistic gestures like swiping or pinching to switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the most out of your desktop space.
The new Force Touch trackpad takes all the capabilities of Multi-Touch and adds force sensors that detect subtle differences in the amount of downward pressure you apply. This lets you have a deeper connection to your content, bringing more functionality right to your fingertip. It also introduces haptic feedback to MacBook Pro - allowing you not just to see what's happening on the screen, but to feel it.
Click and continue to press on the trackpad to enable new capabilities, like looking up the definition of a word, previewing a file in the Finder, or creating a new Calendar event when you Force click a date in the text of an email.
Advanced Intel mobile processors - Dual-care. Quad-core. Serious power.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has the power to do even more amazing things. Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processors let you make quick work of even the most complex tasks in professional apps like Final Cut Pro X, thanks to speeds up to 2.8GHz, 6MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 4.0GHz. And every model comes standard with 16GB of superfast memory. All of which means the 15-inch MacBook Pro is ready to take on whatever you can dream up, wherever your travels take you.
High-performance graphics. - A flawless onscreen performance.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro has a phenomenal display - with the graphics power to match. Its fourth-generation Intel Core i7 processor features Iris Pro Graphics with 128MB of embedded memory, which accelerates demanding graphics tasks by acting as an ultrafast cache. For even more impressive graphics performance, choose the 15-inch model that combines the power of Iris Pro Graphics with the AMD Radeon R9 M370x. Thanks to 2GB of GDDR5 memory, you'll get even better performance when playing high-resolution games, editing video in Final Cut Pro X, or rendering images in pro graphics applications.
Longer-lasting battery - Up to a 10-hour charge.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro lasts up to 9 hours between charges. That's an hour longer than previously. And it delivers 9 hours of iTunes movie playback. That's impressive battery life for any notebook. But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display, state-of-the-art processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it's absolutely remarkable. The built-in battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles.
Faster flash storage - There's a reason they call it 'flash'
Thanks to the superfast read and write performance of the PCle-based flash storage, you'll notice a difference in whatever you do. Starting up is really fast, apps launch quickly, and navigating the desktop feels fluid and responsive. On the 15-inch model you get up to 2.5x faster flash storage - with up to 2.0 GBps throughput - that works with quad-core processors and high-performance graphics to make quick work of even the most demanding Final Cut Pro X editing tasks. And since this MacBook Pro model comes with large amounts of storage, you can keep all your important files with you. In addition, flash has no moving parts, so it's superdurable and quiet.
Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio with the emphasis on mobile. Equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you're free to unplug and still stay connected - to your network, to your wireless peripherals, and to the world. With AirPlay and Apple TV, you can wirelessly play video, show off photos, and enjoy music from your MacBook Pro, all on your widescreen TV. And when your MacBook Pro connects to an 802.11ac Wi-Fi base station, such as AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule, your wireless performance is up to 3x faster.
Thunderbolt 2 - The world's most advanced I/O
Fast and versatile, Thunderbolt 2 provides up to 20Gb/s of bandwidth to each external device. So you're more than ready for the next generation of high-performance peripherals and displays. You can connect massive amounts of storage and add a PCI expansion chassis. And since each Thunderbolt 2 port allows you to daisy-chain up to six peripherals, you can go all out by plugging in up to 12 external devices via Thunderbolt alone.
You'll get two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a headphone port. So in a matter of minutes you can build an entire professional studio with MacBook Pro as its centerpiece.
Stereo Speakers
You haven't heard it all until you've heard the speakers inside MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good to be true. That's because Apple labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear.
Dual Mics
Dual built-in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you're making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice - instead of the noise around you.
FaceTime HD Camera
Make your point with greater clarity. Centered just above the widescreen Retina display on MacBook Pro is an advanced FaceTime HD camera, with an image sensor that produces accurate colors and reduced image noise even in low light. The sophisticated image processor produces sharper images and reduced motion blur. And the face detection feature automatically adjusts exposure and white balance to complement your face and skin tone, so you always look your best - no matter what lighting is behind you.
Backlit keyboard
Thin and light, MacBook Pro is designed to go anywhere - including places with less-than-stellar lighting. A built-in sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the keyboard and display brightness automatically. So you're never left in the dark.
iCloud. - Everything you need. Anywhere you need it.
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more from whatever device you're on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac, too. And it works both ways - create a to-do list on your Mac and you can make edits to it on your iPhone.
Powerful apps included - Get right to work. And play.
Out of the box, MacBook Pro is already a document-creating, number-crunching, presentation-sharing, photo-editing, movie-making, and music-producing powerhouse. That's because it includes six powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Photos, iMovie, and GarageBand. Not to mention all the other incredible apps, including Safari, Mail, and iBooks, which are perfect for the things you want to do and the things you need to do. And, of course, there are thousands more apps to discover at the Mac App Store.
