This is the comparison of performance of macOS Sonoma running via OpenCore legacy patcher vs MacOS Monterey running on MacBook pro 2015 13" with intel i5 and 8GB of RAM.
You are forgetting a very important point: The boot picker timeout is set o 5 seconds by default. You can either reduce it to 0 sec, or click Return to boot instantly. Booting is therefore faster with OCLP.
thnx for the comparison. I previously tried a sonoma OCLP upgrade on a 2010 13" MBP with 8 gb, which was not a success. It is aways nice if someone tested sonmething before👍. Will try on the same laptop you showed
Thank you bro! I’m installed Sonoma on the same Mac and i think that it work worth then Ventura and Monterey. Thought about downgrading, but now I prefer Sonoma)) I was waiting that video on RU-vid)
Thank you for the comparison have you noticed any usability issues on sanoma? And can you do a video on Sanoma only running xcode and different heavy apps
Iam sorry but I cant help you with xcode (I never used it). I did not notice any spikes in performance in basic tasks. Everythink was smooth as far as I can tell
This video encouraged me to used OCLP to upgrade me 2015 MBP 13 with 8GB Ram and I have been using it for the last couple of days. It definitely seems to work well and while some load times might be slightly longer, the overall the general UI seems just as smooth or maybe even smoother. However, one thing I am having issues with is running old mpeg videos - quick time no longer runs it and I have to use VLC and every now and then it does lag a little bit. On Monterey I didn't have any issues with this.
I've been using it daily as my main computer for about 3 weeks now and I don't really think there is any noticeable difference. Sonoma might be slightly smoother in interface and animations but load times might be slightly longer if that makes sense. Obviously these MBP are getting pretty old now and they aren't going to be super smooth especially with 8GB Ram but I find it perfectly usable for my needs for now until I get enough money to upgrade. @@jerryx2000
keep it up , i would you to make a video on sonoma dynamic wallpaper, and live screen on macbook pro 2015 and see the speed < with either i5 or i7 processors
everything work great on 2014 macmini i7 16gigs of ram but for me it just does not seem usable for anything with out maxing out the cpu, but i been using fedora for a while and the mac seems great. just linux is not cutting it for some of the stuff i do. so thank you for this video. is there anyways i can make a macmini 2014 i7 any faster. i done all the upgrades that i can
@@bachi-vlogs8295 inicia oclp y luego presiona configuración y hay una opción para deshabilitar el gestor de arranque. Luego tienes que "Construir e instalar Opencore" nuevamente.
LOL, me, I installed Windows 11 instead of Ventura or Sonoma on my Macbook Pro 2015, and it works great for me being a Windows user for decades. I find the File and Storage Management System in Mac too cumbersome.
I installed sonoma on a late 2015 Mac and it got very hot. Also it didn't work that fast. Accept reality guys. It's nice to see your computer flying with a supported operating system.
I'm using sonoma on my mbp 13 i5 16gb mid 2012 since 3 weeks. Of course is a little slower than monterey and even than ventura, but i think it's worth it because you can use again all the apps.......then U have no choise or at least the choise is to buy a brad new mac .
I'm still very happy with my MacBook Pro from early 2015 and it already hurts me to know it wont get security updates anymore from the end of 2024 on. Sure, I could run Sonoma with OCLP but it wont be the official support from Apple. I don't want a new MacBook because the one I have still has a fantastic Display, Keyboard, Trackpad, good performance, the style of the old MacBooks and last but not least a 1 TB NVME which would cost a fortune in the new MacBooks...
