Your experience with High Sierra in MBP 2015 15-inch

[ge.caroline]

Hi there. Hope you are doing great.

Apple has been doing little bad lately with their softwares. Not to mention that the Meltdown/Spectre scenario made it even worse. Just wondering how High Sierra affected my fellow MacBook Pro 2015 15-inch users in terms of performance. Have heard a lot of reports about how it's mostly been good for pre-2015 MBP models but no much love for 2015 15-inch models.

Would be nice if you guys share your experience with your machine here for all us to see

Personally, mine was bad just after the 10.13 update. Since then including the latest supplementary updates, most of my performance issue are getting ironed out. It's an iGPU version and I did an upgrade(not clean install) BTW. Hope it gets better.

No trouble with High Sierra on a 2015 dGPU model at all.
No trouble with High Sierra on a 2016 13" nTB model either.

Upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra on 2016 13" nTB.
That system was then transferred over to the 2015 15" MBP via Time Machine.

No issues for me either.

Upgrade worked great for me. See config in the signature.
