Late 2015 Macbook Pro has dedicated graphic card?

Hi,

I was about to buy a late 2015 Macbook pro 15'' still offered on the Apple site instead of the new 2016 touchpad version (less pro in my opinion for professional video usage, with no ports, no SD slot, etc, no mag safe, etc.), however I notices that in the tech specs it's no longer specified if it still has a second dedicated graphic card. The site it simply states 'Intel Iris Pro Graphics'.

The dedicated card has it been taken out for some reasons of it's simply not mentionned? In this case I'd like to know how to find the proper tech specs on that particular model (sold as 'former' model before the touchbar line up).

thanks in advance

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), SSD disc

Hi) I have the same issue and thought the same in the beginning but if you will switch the processor from 2,2 to 2,5 or 2,8 it still shows:

2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
16GB 1600MHz memory
1TB PCIe-based SSD
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
Two Thunderbolt 2 ports
Backlit Keyboard (British) & User’s Guide (English)

They do not provide the previous macbook pro with a dedicated graphics anymore ?

Hi,

There is no Late 2015 model. These began production in May 2015 and are called the Mid 2015. These photos, from Apple's refurbished section, and Mactracker, respectively, give the answer. The 2.2GHz only has the Intel Iris Pro integrated graphics, while the 2.5 and 2.8GHz model have the discrete GPU:

I see what you mean, but it could just be an oversight on their part. The ones in the refurb section still show the discrete graphics.
