Q: Do y'all offer monthly payments on the MacBooks?
A: Best Buy offers financing options to qualifying customers through the Best Buy Credit Card. You can learn more about that, here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/misc/financing-rewards/pcmcat102500050032.c?id=pcmcat102500050032.
A: While this may be the 2015 model, (in comparison to the late 2016 with touchbar) it is a perfectly capable machine, and depending on what you're looking for, may be a better choice for you. On the newest models, Apple has changed to a formatting of USB-C outlets, meaning you would have to buy additional cables in order to do things such as connecting a camera or any other thing of the sort. On this model you also have Mag-Safe, which is a magnetic charging system that breaks free of the device if someone were to trip over it, while the 2016 model does not. On the newest model, the only real improvement seems to be the touchbar feature, which is said to be glitchy and not useful by many. Apple machines are meant to last, and this 2015 model would most likely be a great choice for college. Since you mentioned the Macbook 12", I asked about this one for myself, and was told that if I was looking for a decent amount of power, (as in use for heavy video editing) it would probably be smarter to go with the Macbook Pro. I'm not quite sure about this, but I believe most of the features on the Macbook 12" (retina display, magsafe, outlets) should be similar to the ones on this Macbook Pro. It all depends on how much power you need from it. I recommend doing the research yourself though, watch some reviews, it will help you to make sure you know what you're getting. Also, in case you aren't aware, you're most likely applicable for the student discount, I highly recommend checking that deal out to save you a decent amount of money.
A: You have to be specific with what you consider "old". I think the new MacBook Pro has that touch bar thingy? Which I find useless and overly expensive but I think this one isnt that "old" like it has Siri, a light up key board, and good graphics. It's like the iPhone versions. The iPhone 5 or iPhone 6 works just as well as the iPhone 7 except it just has new different features. However, there's not much difference in performance. It's just a money game kiddo.
Q: The trackpad has force touch or is it normal ?
A: It's the 2015 MacBook Pro model, so it has force touch.
A: Absolutely! It has the headphone jack, three different sized USB ports and, obviously, the charging port. It has them located conveniently on the side of the computer, as it is for most laptops. Hope this answered your question. ;)
A: According to Macworld, macOS Sierra can be loaded onto a MacBook that is newer than late 2009 and with OS X 10.7 Lion or later.
A: Because apple is not producing anymore of this version , there will be no more re restock. If they do it will only be what is left, there is no more stock being mass produced for the 2015 13 inch macbook pro retina. However for the time being they are still making more stock of the macbook air 13" and the 2015 macbook pro retina 15" inch, the 15" being almost 600-800 dollars more though. If you do want the 13" 2015 macbook pro specifically then i suggest findining a trustworthy site that sells products such as amazon, they may have some still new and if not then certified refurbished might be the best way to go.
