[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1722130, member: 56379"] The "devil is in the details". Technically…there are two computers that match the info given. Technically there are no 2016 "Pro's" yet.:) You mentioned a "2016 Pro 2.7ghz". I'm assuming you mean "MacBook Pro" (just like above with the 2011 MacBook Pro). "Pro" is not a good way to describe things.:) There's approximately 4 years difference between these two computers…which newer computer's are almost always faster than older computers (year to year)…especially the same model line (MacBook Pro). When there's 4 years difference. Almost guaranteed that the 2015 model is faster.:) But in this situation it's not that easy. Firstly…the 2011 computer you listed has either a 15" or 17" display. The 2015 computer you listed only has a 13" display. So the first thing we need to know is…are you aware of this display size difference? And second…is this important to you? - Nick [/QUOTE]
