I don't know if it's in System Preferences, but for me, System Information shows my mid-2015 MBP (running macOS 10.14.6 Mojave) still has a battery capacity of 8266mAh and a remaining charge of 8079mAh at 100%. Compared to the advertised capacity at launch of 8755mAh, that's a charge capacity of ~92% after ~five years (AppleCare replaced my battery during their recall). MacBooks are just built different.

2014-15 were among the best macbooks ever made. All laptops fail eventually from pushing them extremely hard.

Mojave made my Mac Mini mid-2015 without an SSD completely unusable.

Agree with the author, this series of MBPs was their opus. I have a mid 2015 and an M1 (which I bought to replace the mid-2015), but I won’t be getting rid of it. My daughter will get it to toy with after I’m done using it for car resto work. Love that laptop. Glad to see the port load out in the new Apple silicon machines is similar to this series at least.

My favourite laptop of all time is Macbook Pro mid-2015, with Debian GNU/Linux. It works flawlessly and almost out of box, SSD can still be easily replaced, and the screen is amazing.
