Sharing my prototype MacBook Pro 2015 with a red motherboard

This is a very rare MacBook prototype with an early device model prefix (AAPLxxx,x instead of MacBookProxx,x) and an early motherboard. Audio daughterboard in blue and touchpad daughterboard in green probably for a reason.

Interesting, you don't see too many complete engineering samples out the in the wild. I'm guessing this belonged to someone on the Apple R&D team?

Update: This prototype doesn't boot any os higher than Mavericks and doesn't boot any bootloader such as Clover, Grub and OpenCore. Windows 10 did boot however.
