Q: MJLQ2AE/A

hi there,

I'm fairly new to the Apple's notepad scene

 

I would like to gain more information on the model MJLQ2AE/A

 

This is the model sold in Kuwait by an electronic retail store with the below specs

 

  • Intel Core 4th Gen i7 2.2GHz Processor w/ Turbo Boost Technology.
  • 16GB 1600 MHz RAM, 256GB SSD Flash Storage.
  • 15.6" Diagonal LED-Backlit Display with IPS Technology.
  • Intel Iris Pro Graphics Shared
  • Fullsize backlit English/Arabic Keyboard
  • X Yosemite Operating System

 

What I would like to know is, what model year is this book as I do not see it mentioned anywhere, and if this is the latest Macbook pro in its specified configuration with the updated graphics and the new touch pad

 

Also, knowing this is a middle east version ID'd as MJLQ2AE/A, is it the same equivalent of MJLQ2LL/A sold in the US?

 

Would anybody also like to mention if I should wait for the 2016 MB Pro or get this for the price its been offered in Kuwait

We're being charged with $2,285.00 for it  with 1 year warranty :/

 

Link to the Macbook I'm looking at is below

It's a Mid 2015 MacBook Pro

At this point it's the current MacBook Pro offered.

Yes. Same version as in the U.S. minus the Restrictions imposed by some Middle eastern countries such as the removal of Facetime.

There has been no mention of a new MPB coming out. While its not out of the realm of possibility we may see something in the not too distant future, we are not allowed to speculate on such things.

 

Only you can decide if you want to wait and see if something is announced.

    Hey there,

     

    Thank you for such a descriptive explanation, really appreciate it

    My next question is whether to invest in the MJLT2AE/A or MJLQ2AE/A

     

    I do understand after reading more that these models differ mainly in performance, graphics and storage

     

    I can live with the 256GB but would like to ask mainly about the graphics since I am planning on using software's for designing such as Autocad etc

    Does the upgrade in graphic make a significant difference in general usage and whats the main benefit of the additional card

     

    Thanks

    For 3D rendering the additional card will be noticeable as it will help in faster and smoother rendering.

     

    The Processor difference is not as important, you probably won't notice it.

     

    The AMD card will also give you support for an external monitor at "5K" resolution: 5120-by-2880 @60hz

    Hey there,

    So I have bought the MJLT2AE/A or MJLT2LL/A as you'll know it in the US

    It operates very smooth and the boot time is the quickest I've seen on any machine so far

     

    Thank you all for your input, Appreciate it
