Best and worst MacBooks of the decade!

The 2010s are coming to a close, but there are so many MacBooks that arrived during these years that it can be hard to choose which one to buy. In this video I'll be running through the best and worst MacBooks of the last decade!

Still rocking a mid-2012 MBP 13". Had since new. Love it.

Yay, I always thought my 15" mid 2015 MacBook was a great machine, and now Luke has confirmed it.

Still using my 2012 13” till this day. Loving it

[Allroadstar]

2012 unibody - still my everyday computer. Spiced it up with SSD, RAM, etc. works really well

[carelbester]

And the winner still had the glowing apple logo🤘I miss it so much😔

Man, I felt so proud seeing the mid-2012 13" Unibody. It was my first ever Macbook and I earned like crazy for it, but come my 16th birthday, my parents actually bought me one.
It's turning eight years old this year, and yes, I still use it till this very day. This thing saw me scroll through Tumblr with photos and videos that was unconsciously forming my interest in Multimedia Arts into eventually having a career in one (am currently an Art Director).


If this Macbook can talk, it's the best thing to tell my growth as an artist and creative.


I did have a small upgrade in 2015 with a 21" iMac but I never left my Macbook Pro. They work in conjunction.


But I have really beat the crap out of it and it's definitely served me well. I just ordered my the 16-inch MBP last month and will hopefully arrive sometimes this month. You bet I'll pay homage to my 13-inch, only seems fitting. Haha!

Watching this on my Mid-2015 15" Retina MacBook Pro... I feel so proud... I almost shed a tear... xD

I had a feeling the Mid-2015 15” will be #1 simply because it checks so many of the right boxes and it is a goddamn workhorse. I loved mine so much that I got one for my fiancé as well and she absolutely loved(s) it too. Nearly 6 years in and both of ours are running as smoothly as day 1.

I have 2 of the 2015 MacBook Pro's and they are still going strong and never miss a beat. Incredible in so many ways they are like battle tanks. Sadly I did also buy the first of the touch bar era MacBookPro's and the logicboard failed in a year, the screen failed within another 3. The battery life was rotten and overall it's the worst laptop I have had ever owned. That bad experience turned me off Apple forever because I could see it was all of a sudden about cutting corners and removing really good features.

I would like to argue my case for the old MacBook Air. They're literally everywhere

[GeorgeJardine]

I think you're right.... I'm still using my mid-2014 15" Retina, and it's a workhorse. Great keyboard, great ports, plenty fast, easily upgraded, etc., etc. And best of all, NO TOUCHBAR!

Some weeks ago i found an old 2010 macbook pro 15" at work that has the 1050p matte display. I was shocked by how good the display still looks today!

Still using my 2012 13 inch MBP till this day and its still working flawlessly. Love it

[DanaAshlie]

been on Mac laptops since the Pismo in ...eh...2000? (loved it) Then had that clamshell turquoise plastic thingy, Then onto my first MacBook Pro BEFORE the unibody (that one lasted me a while at least, I just remember it was bought used and was dependable and refused to die) Then bought the 2011 MacBook Pro in the same way (bought it only lightly used at maybe 18 months old)...BUT it was that 2011 that you voted as worst I think, (I lucked out to have apple replace that crashed graphics/motherboard for FREE...TWICE. They knew it was BAD) and since the third crash (and while being a YTer) a good friend gave me his abandoned 2016 13 inch for free, BUT once again...lol... that was the year that also ranked on your 'worst' list. So NOW I feel very grateful to be moving on (tomorrow!) to buy what I expect to be a more blessed Mac 'portable computer'designedBc ...had this new model not been shiny with promising change on the horizon, I was about to jump apples' ship. Looking forward to having the kind of dependability in a machine, that I've (for some reason) long associated with the company (even when they weren't delivering has worked against performance. I'm glad they've beefed it up with this newer chassis..and cooled it down. Multiple Macs I've had could have pressed wrinkled linen. :) So...Good content! And accurate as far as I can testify. Sorry I missed the 2015 :) Thanks for the reviews! :)

Who else still using the Early 2015 Macbook pro 13” ?? 🔥🔥

[koz]

YES. I was watching this wondering when the Mid-2015 Macbook Pro was going to show up.

Hands down, the best.

-Watches the video
-Expects that his 2017 MBP 13 inch doesn't appear
-His 2017 MBP 13 inch appears the first one
-Procceeds to cry

I had a 2012 Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. It carried me through the retina and butterfly eras. I maxed it out with 16gb RAM and a 2tb SSD. After years of travel and abuse, the GPU died in November 2021. To tide me over while I ordered a new MBP, I bought a used 2012, swapped out the SSD and RAM, and it was up and running instantly. Two months later, my new MBP arrived, a 16" M1 Max, a future classic.

I have had a 2015 15’ Retina and loved it to bits, but it got stolen. I had to replace it with the 2019 16’ retina (with the scissor keyboard). Having watched this made me feel much better about it. ❤️
