Apple is claiming 2.5 times faster flash storage than the previous generation, with throughput of up to 2GBps. This improvement in flash storage seems to have been brought to the recently revamped 15-inch model too. Read speeds are phenomenal, providing incredibly quick access to data. ![]() However, in the 2015 model that rockets up to 1250-1350MB/sec. The 2014 SSD reads at a similar speed as it writes, with 725-730MB/sec read rates. It’s with read speeds that we see a much bigger difference. We got 670-680MB a second speeds from the 2014 model and around 650MB a second write speeds from the 2015. Write speeds are quite similar, and were actually better in the 256GB 2014 edition we tested than the 128GB 2015 MacBook Pro. It repeatedly writes a 5GB temporary file to the disk to see how an SSD or hard drive handles the pressure. It’s available for free on the Mac App Store, if you want to try it on your own computer. We tried out both 20 13-inch models with the BlackMagic Desk Speed Test app. Much as you need to be a power user to notice it as even the older version is far faster than a hard drive, the performance difference is quite large. Both sizes of the 2015 MacBook Pro have a much faster SSD disk drive than the last version. However, one of the major improvements is something you can’t see. The 2015 MacBook Pro looks and feels exactly like the 2014 edition.

Like every MacBook there’s also a headphone jack and the Magsafe power socket. These are your main connectors, and there is also an SD card slot plus a full-size HDMI for easy connection to a monitor or TV. ![]() You get two USB 3.0 ports and two high-speed Thunderbolt 2 ports. The new MacBook Pro doesn’t have any new connections this year. As such, nothing should be read into the slight difference in figures between the two 15-inch models until we’ve been able to get the new model on our scales too) MacBook Pro 2015 vs 2014: Connections (all these figures were measured using our own scale, aside from those of the new MacBook and the new 15-inch MacBook Pro, which were not available at the time of writing. We’ve used MacBook Pros daily for a year now, and they’re just light enough to carry around all day without shoulder ache, but here’s how they stack up against Apple’s skinnier laptops: We put both of the 13-inch models on the scales, and even though they have slightly different specs both MacBook Pros weigh in at 1.565kg. SEE ALSO: MacBook (2015) vs Surface Pro 3 Next to the new 12-inch MacBook, the 20 MacBook Pros do seem a little chunky and heavy, but they’re still thin and light enough to be used as ultraportable laptops. Looking closely at the contours, it seems the casing components are literally the same. Their weights, casing style and feel are identical. Virtually nothing has changed in the MacBook Pro design this year. ![]()
