I'm planning to buy one this weekend. Is this specs good for a MBP 2015 13inch? macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB Storage: 120 GB
One of the most useful and informative videos that I have seen thus far regarding the new 2020 MacBook Air. Placing it against the 2015 MacBook Pro really does highlight the capabilities of this machine. 👍
Hit the nail on the head there, I wanted to demonstrate that the MacBook Air is more powerful than reviewers are telling you, when you put these new laptops with higher models from a few years ago, it shows how far these laptops have gone! And thank you for your amazing words, I appreciate your feedback ✌🏽😊
Goes to show how overhyped the “overheating” issue is when even the previous gen MBP kicks it’s fans up for the same task which it takes even longer to complete. I think that so many savy customers that do their research before buying would have been put off the 2020 MBA by the sensationalist “reviewers” that do not consider real life workflow scenarios. Like you concluded, this is a more than capable machine that will blitz through everyday tasks. Even though the fans kick in, it completes tasks faster so the fans slow down just as quick as they kicked up. Thanks again for your reviews! This one convinced me not to wait for the 2020 MBP as the higher spec MBA should be more than capable for my “non-pro” multitasking workflow ✊🏼
I just want to give an honest review, and I rarely see real work tasks being done in videos so I wanted to do them 😃 Im so glad you gained value in this video man, love your feedback!! ✌😃
I completely agree, I think the issue is that when you use higher end gear everyday, this might seem slow or whatever, but I think I showed that this gives Pro models from a few years ago a run for its money! This is a great laptop and my test of running that many tabs of video and netflix in the background was over kill but it just showed that if you have a word document open, with a TH-cam video going and a few tabs this will be perfect! I did the video editing test because benchmarks don't mean anything really, and this handled 4K editing and export far better than the 2015 i7 pro model! So it can do it but as you said it's not made for that and this laptop will be perfect for so many users! Love your comments by the way, just nice to know that there are others that appreciate my way of thinking when it comes to tech!
I didn't think there'd be a difference, I have a 2015 MacBook pro with an i5 and was considering the air. I noticed the Macbook you used had an i7 and the air still won, so I can only imagine how much of a difference this would be for me. I really appreciate this video. Everyone talking about "I bought the 16 inch MacBook for $2000+ to use for college to open word. " lol
Using the 13” MBP since 2015. It’s been 5 years. It was 1.4time the price of a MBA. But the 2020 MBA still fails to outrun it by a large margin. This video tells me that my investment was worth it. I’m can hold on to my MBP for 2 more years easily. But a MBA can hardly go on for more than 3years. So when it comes to value and total usability; go for the MBP. U will earn ur money back. Plus the resale value is far better.
TheBarthL me too, i was so confused because too many youtuber said the mac air 2020 is overheating with simple test. And when i see this video. I really want to go to store and pick a air 2020
Nice comparison man, very professional video. If I was to choose, I would pick the older MacBook Pro. A better selection of ports in terms of variety, Magsafe (which I absolutely love on my 2013 11 inch Air) and a cooling system that is actually effective, unlike on the 2020 Air that doesn't have the heat sink and the fan connected with heat pipes. But that is just me, both machines are good.
Watching this video on a MB2015: really really happy that you provided this comparison. Just because I was curious myself. Besides I love to improve my English by listening to native speakers. Kind regards from Berlin, Germany.
Bro you legend for that comment!! Thank you so much! I'm trying to make high quality content with good content, still have a long way to go in my head but that's me 😂 stay safe man ✌🏽😊
A week ago I bought a used (as new as they come) MBP 2015 with 2,8 Ghz Quad Core, 16Gb Ram, 1TB SSD for £222. I am using it for recording and later on mixing. I love it. It is very fast.
Great review! Commenting in 2023 so I'm obviously late to the party, and I haven't had the change to check out your newer videos so I don't know if you're doing this now, and I didn't see many comments regarding this, but I would recommend labeling each model in the keyboard comparison, since it may be more difficult for less tech-savvy viewers to differentiate between the two laptops. Realy do appreciate the atention to detail though, there weren't a lot of people who took the time to compare the keyboards between these two models.
This video was really really helpful. Thank you! I still have my beloved old pro from 2015 and really do like it, but thought an upgrade might be something I'd enjoy - especially weight-wise. All the issued and opinions about the Air out there have been really confusing and this video was just on point and exactly what I wanted to know.
This is the review I needed!!! I was trying to decide on upgrading to the new MBA or just keep on using my 2015 MBP....you helped me so much with my decision. Ordering the MBA today :-)
Amazing! Glad this video helped you out! I literally love doing comparison videos! I think I want to do loads more, just need to save more so I can keep dishing this content out 😂
Old Macbooks pro from 2012 (late) till 2015 are the best machines that someone could get in a reasonable price these days. A friend of mine got the 2020 Macbookair and he is really struggling with his laptop overheating problems. I own a late 2012 Macbookpro and we performed a rendering test together. Even though his laptop has the latest intel cpu he managed to finish the rendering 2 min faster than mine which is nice but considering that i paid only 400€ to buy my Macbook i would say buying the air isn't worth it. The cpu seems to overheat and keeps throttling. Sometimes the Laptop shuts down itself. He is not an editor or so but he does want his Laptop to be able to do light video editing etc. He regret that he got the air Model instead of the Pro. If you do have the budget please go for the pro model or some of the older pro macbooks.
I loved my 2012 MacBook Pro, it was a beast! And I agree those machines are great value for money I'm big advocate of those models, I've done a video now on both the 2012 and 2015 models, both edited my 4K videos 😊 I think if you are editing heavier footage and doing more grading and effects, you will definitely notice more than a two minute difference, but for simple basic edits then yes that difference wouldn't be a surprise! I think a lot of people were expecting this to be more powerful than it actually is, like in 2017 would you have expected that do handle your work loads? Probably not, and this Macbook is the same, it's newer and faster but it's still a Macbook Air! I understand about the fan issues, but people are forgetting than the 16inch Macbook Pro is louder than the 15inch MacBook Pro 2019, Apple are ramping up the fans more than before ✌🏽😊
buying the pro used atm: getting it cleaned inside, a battery replacement and a new charger. this sums to 60% of the price of a base new air. exited for the end result!
Great content, and the 2015 is a beast. I just bought one in 2020, and planning to upgrade the SSD. It works really well for the types of work I do (video editing, programming and web browsing). Thanks for the great work!
Recommended video by TH-cam algorithm, I was not disappointed. I still use a Mid 2012 MBP 13" and since it will not be supported by MacOS 11 I think about replacing it. Otherwise it is still very nice. I became fairly uncertain about whether to go with the Air or not later this year because suddenly people were talking about overheating and fan noise. I do mostly developing and some photo editing from time to time and I love when my machine stays quiet unless I really stress it. Also, keep your sympathetic behaviour. New subscriber, greetings from Hamburg!
Thank you for this great informative video, I just got the new air and a bit worried to used it since I always prefer my pro but this video changes a lot! Thank you.
Thank you so much! This is a very useful review! I thought about buying the PRO version of 15, but now I am inclined to buy Air 2020. Air is more compact and lighter, which will have a positive effect on trips. And of course, high-speed RAM and the latest generation of Intel processor, greatly influenced the overall performance)
finally! some practical comparison! not some geecbench and raw tech specs! thank you! how about some simple things like watching good quality video/ movie or zoom call? and it is just nice listening to british english 🙃
Thanks for this video! Super helpful as someone planning to upgrade from the Macbook Pro 2015 to the Macbook Air M2. Any chance you plan to do a 2015 Pro vs M2 Air comparison? :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Honestly I love making content, it's what I enjoy so much!! And I think I have one of the best audiences out there, like yourself 😊✌🏽 stay safe!!
I have a Macbook Pro 2015 that got me through undergrad and I loved it, now it’s a few years old and I’m looking for a new Macbook to get me through my 100% online Master’s program and CPA exam studying. Would the 2020 Macbook Air be a good fit?? I was planning on upgrading from the i3 to the i5 since my Pro has the i5
Hey man, nice, realistic review! I’m wondering, how would the mba 2020 (i5, 16GB) stack up against my 15inch mbp 2014 (4th gen 2.5GHz quad i7, 16 RAM, dGPU)? I’m considering my options; the battery is worn out and the screen suffers from the staingate issue (apple won’t replace it anymore) but it works fine otherwise for my needs. Truth is, I do not really need the “pro” performance. I could get the battery replaced now (as the machine will be considered vintage very soon) and use it for a year or two longer (until the newest MacOS is no longer supported), OR save the 200 for the battery, sell my mbp now for still a decent amount and get myself a brand new mba2020 (i5,16GB RAM) for relatively cheap. Any opinions? Would I loose or gain performance going from my mbp to the mba 2020? Thanks?
subbedd mann , watched this video like 3 times now , thinking wether i should get the 2015 or the air , tq very much , u made me decide and the macbook air is really the better choice for the price
Thank u for this vid... I'm planning to get a MB air 2020 ... And I was so worried about its performance...and this vid have cleared all the doubts... Thanks once again.. ❤️
I have a 2021 MBA M1 and a 2015 MBP. I had the ‘19 and wasn’t a big enough bump to keep the ‘19. Sold out and went to the 2021 M1 which is a huge upgrade. Can’t get rid of my 2015 though as it still does great and comes in handy when going outside and places I don’t feel comfortable setting my 2021 where it could be damaged. The ‘19 is not worth upgrading, but any M1 is.
Amazing!!! So glad to here that!! Definitely the right model to go for, this will last you for years to come!! Thanks for popping up in the comments again, stay safe ✌🏽😊
New viewer here, great videos! Subscribed! I noticed you said neither would be ideal for Color Grading work. Why is that? I'm new into photography and would like to eventually try out video editing and color grading. Are there better alternatives for color grading workflows?
Thanks for your sharing! I've got a MBP 2015 i5 256G 13 inches for like 5 years, it's still works quite well except for it's too heavy for a girl to carry. I was very worried about MBA 2020 can't hold my daily works compared to my old MBP(It's a pro after all). Now I've decided to upgrade to MBA2020! It's fairly useful.😄👍
great video. I recently bought a 2015 pro i5. Curious as to what your laptops thermals are like. Mine gets to upper 60s and 70s C with particular websites. The fan does turn on but, but it idles at 0rpm, and this seems hot. Again, great video, exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed
I was searching for this comparison for a couple of months. Finally got it. I'm a medical student plus a youtube vlogger. May I buy MacBook air over the 2015 or 2016 MacBook pro? for daily tasks and video editing ??
Well I made this review in 2020 so these points might not be so relevant now, I would just buy an M1 MacBook Air base model, it’ll be 3 times faster than both these machines at least
You could disable turbo boost, *IF* you really push the machine and heat/noise bothers you and slightly slower performance doesn't. "Turbo Boost Switcher" or similar app. You can choose which apps have turbo boost enabled. Many apps (like chrome/TH-cam) want all the power they can get but never needs. It's also nice to have a cool and silent computer, even if its a bit slower. But remember what the Air is made for. Not a heavy long-task workhorse
Really great video. Helped me a lot whether or not I should upgrade from my MBP 13" 2015 to the new MBA 2020. I went for the i3 version because it suites very well my needs and I still find it faster than my old MBP. Thanks again :)
Techkhamun I got my MBA two days ago and so far everything is good. Performance is good, it does not overheat and the battery life is way better than my old MBP. I am still looking though for a good USB-C option for it, preferably one that’s directly inserted into the laptop and which includes a HDMI port as well. Maybe you have some recommendations? 😊
10:13 I have a Macbook Air 2015 and when I edited videos that playback preview ran great. At the time I thought that didn't affect CPU usage at all. iMovie and FCPX and too well optimized
Cool review. Do you think the comparison would have been similar had you been using the 2020 Air with the i3 instead of the i5? $400 price difference here in Canada... Thx!
I need a Macbook but I'm on a low budget. My usage mostly will be zoom meetings, document processing emails and web browsing (student). A used Macbook Pro 2015 in a very good condition will be a good choice?
Wow, first of all cool channel first time viewing. I'm in the market for an MBA for my wife and I've got a 15 inch 2015 MBP...so I found this very interesting. What was the spec of the MBA you tested or did I miss it? (I'm not at the end yet maybe its at the end)
I actually would rather edit my videos on the MacBook Air than the 2015 Macbook Pro if I'm completely honest, and just to let you know, I actually edited the MacBook Pro video on my MacBook air just to really see what it was like! Lol
Should I get MacBook Air 2020 or just wait new ARM MacBook... I am using 2012 MacBook Air now and looking for upgrade ...my 2012 still running ok on everyday life and I can wait max 1 year I guess
I would say wait if you can and see what comes out, but as a subscriber mentioned which I agree with, first gen products always have the shortest life span, look at how quickly they dropped the support on the first gen iPad, Apple watch and iPhone, all those products had about half of the life span compared to the second gen with support
Can i buy macbook air 2020 for app development. i will be running android studio and xcode with emulators. So 8gb ram, i5 and 256gb ssd will be sufficient ?
I'd be interested to see if you'd still choose the new MacBook Air vs an upgraded '15 Mac Pro with upgraded features like four core i7 and 16 gb hard drive. Thats what I'm comparing it to and its a tough call as I do some video editing away from my office, but not super intensive. Laptop is more for everyday use. Love to know your thoughts! Great video, really enjoyed it!
Honestly, I have a Macbook pro Retina 2015 model and a Macbook Pro with touch bar 2020 model and I honestly prefer the 2015 one. It just IDK, does it for me more than the 5 year newer one does. But that said, I ALSO love the 2020 macbook I have too. I just seldom use it.
seems like ill be upgrading i only really use mine for emails cooking tutorials and anime and my battery kinda dead cheers trust this guy to have exactly what im looking for

finally! some practical comparison! not some geecbench and raw tech specs!
thank you!
how about some simple things like watching good quality video/ movie or zoom call?
and it is just nice listening to british english 🙃
No problem man! All good on those fronts my friend ✌🏽😊
Awesome review! Nice work!
Thanks for this video! Super helpful as someone planning to upgrade from the Macbook Pro 2015 to the Macbook Air M2. Any chance you plan to do a 2015 Pro vs M2 Air comparison? :)

If I want to buy a 2015 MacBook Pro 15", is it better than the new MacBook Air? Or It's not?
I have a Macbook Pro 2015 that got me through undergrad and I loved it, now it’s a few years old and I’m looking for a new Macbook to get me through my 100% online Master’s program and CPA exam studying. Would the 2020 Macbook Air be a good fit?? I was planning on upgrading from the i3 to the i5 since my Pro has the i5
Thank you for this!! I have a Macbook Pro 2015 and have been seriously thinking of switching to the 2020 Air
No problem Emily 😊✌🏽
Hey man, nice, realistic review!
I’m wondering, how would the mba 2020 (i5, 16GB) stack up against my 15inch mbp 2014 (4th gen 2.5GHz quad i7, 16 RAM, dGPU)? I’m considering my options; the battery is worn out and the screen suffers from the staingate issue (apple won’t replace it anymore) but it works fine otherwise for my needs. Truth is, I do not really need the “pro” performance.
I could get the battery replaced now (as the machine will be considered vintage very soon) and use it for a year or two longer (until the newest MacOS is no longer supported), OR save the 200 for the battery, sell my mbp now for still a decent amount and get myself a brand new mba2020 (i5,16GB RAM) for relatively cheap.
Any opinions? Would I loose or gain performance going from my mbp to the mba 2020? Thanks?
subbedd mann , watched this video like 3 times now , thinking wether i should get the 2015 or the air , tq very much , u made me decide and the macbook air is really the better choice for the price
Amazing!! So glad I could help! ✌🏽😊
Exactly what I needed. Big thumbs-up!!
Thank you so much friend!! 😊✌🏽
Thank u for this vid... I'm planning to get a MB air 2020 ... And I was so worried about its performance...and this vid have cleared all the doubts... Thanks once again.. ❤️
No problem at all!! I'm so glad this video has helped you out!! 😊✌🏽
Excellent comparison test. You got a sub from me 👏🏻 keep move on your nice work 🤩
Thank you so much Bui! I will do my best as always ✌🏽😊
Excellent video, cleared my doubts and help me make my choice!!! Thank you so very much 👏👍
No problem at all!! I'm so glad this has helped you out 😊✌🏽
What did u choose?
I have a 2021 MBA M1 and a 2015 MBP. I had the ‘19 and wasn’t a big enough bump to keep the ‘19. Sold out and went to the 2021 M1 which is a huge upgrade. Can’t get rid of my 2015 though as it still does great and comes in handy when going outside and places I don’t feel comfortable setting my 2021 where it could be damaged. The ‘19 is not worth upgrading, but any M1 is.
Mac air 2017 or mac pro 2015 for programming?
Is MacBook Air 2020 is good choice for junior iOS developer?
I recently got my MacBook Air and I would say I have no regrets, it’s really good.
Still using it? How is the overheating and the noise ?
So happy to see this video! I purchased the i5 and 16gb air. I’m excited to get it in a couple weeks!
Amazing!!! So glad to here that!! Definitely the right model to go for, this will last you for years to come!! Thanks for popping up in the comments again, stay safe ✌🏽😊
Techkhamun thank you for your videos, they were really helpful! Stay safe as well, I hope things are well were you are! ☺️
Does the cycle important for a macbook ? How much should it be ?
I don't understand why your MacBook Air has fans. Aren't they supposed to have passive cooling?
New viewer here, great videos! Subscribed! I noticed you said neither would be ideal for Color Grading work. Why is that? I'm new into photography and would like to eventually try out video editing and color grading. Are there better alternatives for color grading workflows?
Thanks for your sharing! I've got a MBP 2015 i5 256G 13 inches for like 5 years, it's still works quite well except for it's too heavy for a girl to carry. I was very worried about MBA 2020 can't hold my daily works compared to my old MBP(It's a pro after all). Now I've decided to upgrade to MBA2020! It's fairly useful.😄👍
Thanks for sharing!
So which means mba 2020 is better? I'm so confused
The webcam on the air is really bad. I use my MacBook Pro 2015 webcam every week for my live stream and have had no complaints.
great video. I recently bought a 2015 pro i5. Curious as to what your laptops thermals are like. Mine gets to upper 60s and 70s C with particular websites. The fan does turn on but, but it idles at 0rpm, and this seems hot. Again, great video, exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed
Thank you for the feedback!! And thank you for subscribing, it means a lot ✌🏽😊
You could disable turbo boost, if heat/noise bothers you and slightly slower performance doesn't.
"Turbo Boost Switcher" or similar app
I was searching for this comparison for a couple of months. Finally got it. I'm a medical student plus a youtube vlogger. May I buy MacBook air over the 2015 or 2016 MacBook pro? for daily tasks and video editing ??
This is my target video I am looking for thanks Biggest So So much sir🙏
No problem at all my friend 😊✌🏽
I am confused . Which is better to buy for december 2021? Macbook pro 2015 or macbook air 2020?
Well I made this review in 2020 so these points might not be so relevant now, I would just buy an M1 MacBook Air base model, it’ll be 3 times faster than both these machines at least
You could disable turbo boost, *IF* you really push the machine and heat/noise bothers you and slightly slower performance doesn't.
"Turbo Boost Switcher" or similar app.
You can choose which apps have turbo boost enabled.
Many apps (like chrome/TH-cam) want all the power they can get but never needs.
It's also nice to have a cool and silent computer, even if its a bit slower.
But remember what the Air is made for. Not a heavy long-task workhorse
Really great video. Helped me a lot whether or not I should upgrade from my MBP 13" 2015 to the new MBA 2020. I went for the i3 version because it suites very well my needs and I still find it faster than my old MBP. Thanks again :)
No problem!!! Let me know how you get on with it! 😊✌🏽
Techkhamun I got my MBA two days ago and so far everything is good. Performance is good, it does not overheat and the battery life is way better than my old MBP. I am still looking though for a good USB-C option for it, preferably one that’s directly inserted into the laptop and which includes a HDMI port as well. Maybe you have some recommendations? 😊
10:13 I have a Macbook Air 2015 and when I edited videos that playback preview ran great. At the time I thought that didn't affect CPU usage at all. iMovie and FCPX and too well optimized
Cool review. Do you think the comparison would have been similar had you been using the 2020 Air with the i3 instead of the i5? $400 price difference here in Canada... Thx!
Thanks for making this video bro, so helpful 😭
Any time! I'm glad this helped!!
Thx a lot for this comparison
No problem!! 😊✌🏽
I need a Macbook but I'm on a low budget. My usage mostly will be zoom meetings, document processing emails and web browsing (student). A used Macbook Pro 2015 in a very good condition will be a good choice?
Awesome review man!!!
Wow, first of all cool channel first time viewing. I'm in the market for an MBA for my wife and I've got a 15 inch 2015 MBP...so I found this very interesting.
What was the spec of the MBA you tested or did I miss it? (I'm not at the end yet maybe its at the end)
It's about 6 minutes into the video 😊✌🏽
@@Techkhamun Haha, I completely missed it for some reason, thanks!
It's okay! I do it too sometimes 😂😂
Awesome Video.
Exactly what i wanted to see.
One question tho, what about 2015 MBP?
Better than Air 2020?
I actually would rather edit my videos on the MacBook Air than the 2015 Macbook Pro if I'm completely honest, and just to let you know, I actually edited the MacBook Pro video on my MacBook air just to really see what it was like! Lol
Should I get MacBook Air 2020 or just wait new ARM MacBook... I am using 2012 MacBook Air now and looking for upgrade ...my 2012 still running ok on everyday life and I can wait max 1 year I guess
I would say wait if you can and see what comes out, but as a subscriber mentioned which I agree with, first gen products always have the shortest life span, look at how quickly they dropped the support on the first gen iPad, Apple watch and iPhone, all those products had about half of the life span compared to the second gen with support
This was a useful interesting video! Good man!
Glad you liked it!
I love this comparison. Thank you Mike. Done Like and Subscribe
Thank you friend! Really appreciate that and thanks for subbing and liking, hope you enjoy my other content!
Would you recommend getting the new £1,799 MacBook Pro that came out today as my first laptop?
good video man, just wondering what is the name of the app you use to see the fan speeds, temps and all the sensors of the MacBooks?
Its called Menubar Stats, its only £4.99!
Thats what I was looking for. thank you!
Amazing! So glad it helped you Lucas! 😊✌🏽
Thank you very much Teckhamun😀💻!!
No problem at all Melvin! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!! 😊✌🏽
Can i buy macbook air 2020 for app development. i will be running android studio and xcode with emulators. So 8gb ram, i5 and 256gb ssd will be sufficient ?
I'd be interested to see if you'd still choose the new MacBook Air vs an upgraded '15 Mac Pro with upgraded features like four core i7 and 16 gb hard drive. Thats what I'm comparing it to and its a tough call as I do some video editing away from my office, but not super intensive. Laptop is more for everyday use. Love to know your thoughts! Great video, really enjoyed it!
Sorry did you say Mac Pro? And thank you Steve!!! ✌🏽😊
Honestly, I have a Macbook pro Retina 2015 model and a Macbook Pro with touch bar 2020 model and I honestly prefer the 2015 one. It just IDK, does it for me more than the 5 year newer one does. But that said, I ALSO love the 2020 macbook I have too. I just seldom use it.
Pro tip! When rendering 4k video on Macbook Air, put it in the fridge.
hahaha
What about the 15" version of the MacBook pro 2015, the 2.5ghz with double GPU, do you think that the MacBook air will still be faster ?
seems like ill be upgrading i only really use mine for emails cooking tutorials and anime and my battery kinda dead cheers trust this guy to have exactly what im looking for
