Is worth to trade that mbp? I have laptop which is worth around 500-600 pounds.
I want to buy a new mbp 2019, but maybe for now, for my beginning maybe that will be enought. I wanna use them for coding, amature FCPX (no 3D or something like that, just normal montage) and LR/PS for my photos.
 
I don't have any macbook. But is 2015 enought for lightroom and fcpx??

Yes it is worth it, but try to get the 2.5 GHz / Radeon 370 / 512 GB setup over the 2.2 GHz / Intel Iris Pro / 256 GB model.

That's the model I have and it is my workhorse. I use it for every day for Photoshop, Lightroom and FCP X. I still think about upgrading to a newer model from time to time, but the 2015 has a great keyboard and all the ports I need.
 
I have the 2015 2.2 GHz 15" Pro, base model. Never found anything it can't run. It's fast, quiet, and has ports! Just a joy to use. Even had the screen replaced for free by Apple due to the lamination coming off, and the new screen seems even more vivid and colorful than the old one. If you can get a good deal on one, do it! Doesn't matter what configuration, in my opinion. All the 2015's were/are good.
 
Cool. I was thinking about new model 2019 16inch. But it's for my hobby/learning, so it will be too much like 3.4k£ . Maybe one day...
 
I have the 2.5 with AMD Radeon with 512 GB. I bought it used in January and it's been great for work. I don't do video editing on it though but I'm pretty sure it would be no problem. I also have the 2014 2.2 Ghz and I do do video editing on that laptop and it's fine.
 
Don't get one if you want to use it on a plane. They are banned from being opened by some airlines and check it has had a replacement battery if it matches the affected serial numbers! Otherwise its an OK MPB with ports and a decent keyboard

I think that's for checked baggage; not carryon.

But you could get some cladding and some Windows and Dell stickers to put on it for flying.

That's what I have too (and just ran it through the battery replacement with Apple so battery life is amazing), and I just brought it with me on a two week trip as opposed to my 2017 fully spec'd 15" because I so much prefer the keyboard, trackpad and MagSafe over the 2017.

You might want to read the whole article not just the title!

They're not the only airlines to take action. In the last week or so, Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways said they won't allow the affected MacBook Pro models in hand baggage or checked luggage. TUI Group Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines, Air Italy and Air Transat banned them earlier this month. Those cargo management for those four airlines are handled by Total Cargo Expertise, which reportedly told its staff the affected MacBooks are “prohibited on board any of our mandate carriers.”

I did a quick search for 'carry on', haven't heard of it referred to as hand baggage before. So seems that only Thai and Singapore commercial airlines do not allow them as carry on.
