The 13" Retina MacBook Pro lags behind in all but one graphics test. However, the re-engineered keyboard with butterfly mechanism remains a 12" MacBook exclusive. Yet in some tests not yet published, we saw only a 5% gain.īesides storage and graphics, a notable new feature is the Force Touch trackpad with Taptic Engine. In the graphics intensive tests featured here, the new Radeon R9 M370X GPU was as much 62% faster than the GeForce GT 750M it replaces. (NOTE: The 256G version has a slower large sequential write speed of 1198MB/s.)
It is faster than any single flash module we have tested to date. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro's PCIe-based Flash Storage is a screamer. RED bar in graph indicates the FASTEST result.

I am attaching the readout from Terminal I am getting currently when I try to update it in case anyone here can decipher why the firmware is still not updating. I tried this workaround here to update the firmware despite the third-party drive, but haven't been able to get it to work. I can't currently can't upgrade to Monterey because the person who we bought the computer from swapped out the original OEM SSD hard drive for a third-party SSD drive, so the OS won't update the system firmware and install Monetery. I'm trying to upgrade from Mac OS Catalina to Monetery because GoodNotes on my Macbook stopped synching with it on my iPad because the version on my Macbook is too old, and I can't update it because Catalina is too old. Does anyone know what the original OEM SSD hard drive for a mid 2015 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro (model identifier MacBookPro11,4) is, and how I can buy a used one, and/or how to fix the error in Terminal I'm getting while trying to manually upgrade the firmware?
