I'm seriously thinking about returning my 15in 2015 Max Config MBP. The price I paid Vs the power it provides has been eating away at me. The CPU is very fast, The SSD is crazy fast, The screen is beautiful, but the GPU is garbage.
Yes, the GPU is faster than the last version by 80%, but the last one was very slow. 80% over very slow is still slow... I really didn't think this was going to bother me. I didn't by it as a gaming laptop, I have even debated with people on here that you don't get a MBP for games so this should not matter. But now that I have it, sitting down and looking at my $3,200 (After Tax) laptop and watching it struggle pulling 20FPS on BioShock Infinite bothers me to no end. Its like buying a Ferrari, that drives grate, is super conferrable, and looks amazing, but has no chance racing a Dodge Neon.
No, I didn't buy it for gaming. I wanted an amazing computer I could take with me that would do everything. And it does. And I know its not a gaming laptop. But at that price tag, $3,200 it should of had a much better chip. At least a 960m equivalent. Even taking the PICe SSD that I know is very pricy and that nice retina display, its WAY over priced, even for Apple. I don't remember my maxed 2011 17in MBP being this far off the mark.
