Specifications
1 TB Apple SSD
16 GB RAM
Intel Core i7 2.8GHz
no discrete graphics
When I perform internet recovery to install the oldest version available, it gives me High Sierra. The latest version supported as set by Apple is Monterey. I am currently using Catalina on it since it is the last macOS 10.x and also, the last version designed with Intel machines in mind.
Now, I can either go with Big Sur or Monterey both of which I think are very stable now compared to when they were initially released, correct me if I am wrong. My only macOS experience prior to having this Macbook Pro is Catalina on a Hackintosh Dell laptop.
For those that have used/are still using a 2015 Macbook Pro, what version have you installed considering a good balance of features and performance?
I will just be using iMovie on it and that will be the most intensive task for the machine I have. I will be switching to Final Cut Pro once I have an Apple Silicon device. This will mostly be for Airdrop of photos and videos from iPad 9 and iPhone 7 Plus as well as internet browsing from time to time.
