Hello guys, is there still worth to purchase macbook pro 15 inch year 2014 2015? Is there still have spare parts supply nowadays incase the MacBook have any problem with it?

IMHO its still worth it if you want the ports with good performance. For intensive work, better look elsewhere.

For spare parts, I can safely say the parts are largely available (I’m using mbp 2015 btw). My experience with repairs so far :

- 2017, I got display staingate issue and got it replaced for free by Machines.
- Early 2019, I sent for blownout speakers repair also at Machines, parts are already in stock and they fixed it within a day.
- Early 2020, I sent for bloated battery replacement also at Machines, but this time they say parts needed to order from USA. So they ship my mpb to Singapore and perform repair there. Before shipping back to MY. Everything happens in about 17 days from start till receive back.

All of the issue you fixed by machines shop?

Btw how much roughly for this second hand spec?

Yep, in 2017 and 2020 was at Machines KLCC. And for 2019 was at Machines Mid Valley. Customer service was good for both outlet.

I’m not so sure about the price. But it does look like its the higher-end version of 15” mbp mid 2014. Need more experienced people to do the estimation.

Good laptop. Mine is 2015 top spec. Really a beast.

Things I've done:
- Repair the speaker. RM 130 self-change. Very easy.
- Numerous service & Thermal Paste application. RM 40 the tube still last till now.

I paid mine RM 4,800 3 years ago.
I reckon 2014 spec like that should be able to fetch RM 3,000 - RM 3,500?

The photo I had showed above is top spec in 2014 version?

Not the highest spec but good enough.

The dedicated graphic card option was a time bomb anyway so the unit you're interested in is the best variant.

Do you know the second hand price roughly?

I would negotiate to somewhere around RM 3,000 - RM 3,500.

RM 3,500 - Hmm let me think first, I shop around for the condition of the laptop.
RM 3,300 - Ok, I'll take 1-2 days to think about it.
RM 3,000 and below - Take my money!

Thanks mate!

Thanks for the price estimation, will be useful for next time Also reminder for TS to check the battery health of the MBP before finalizing the price. Can check either using System Information or use CoconutBattery apps.

If you wanna replace the battery, the price for original battery replacement at Machines was RM800 including labor charges + 3 months warranty.

Use OEM battery.
No more original battery.

What is this issue? After logged in to main user then it become black screen and that circle keep rolling, I had even waited for 10mins and restart the Mac, but still the same

Just bought a new Mac?
Is this a clean installation of the new Mac?
Try run Diagnostic Test and let us know what's the result.

either buy new or don't buy at all.

LOL exactly same year record with my rMBP mid 2014.
- Staingate free fixed by Mid Valley service centre.
- Replaced speaker, but now still burst eh...
- Bloated Battery replaced myself last year ordered from internet, but still have warning icon, but still usable though

Agreed. To be honest Apple products has high resale value compared to Windows.
Sold 2k for 2012 iMac last year. Bought it around RM4500 at original price considered very very very high resale price.
You buy a used Mac for brand
but you buy a new Mac for tech

It's cheaper to own for a used one but you know la, gadgets are double faster every year
no point buying old if you go for performance.
if use for facebook or youtube cat videos
ok la

TS in the end you bought for how much?
Planning to sell mine also
same spec

Hi, sorry for late reply.
I didn't buy the macbook from my friend, but my friend selling RM3000.
