whats the benefits of the pro over the evo?

The primary difference is that the 860 Pro version has sequential read speeds are up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s, with newer chips and a different controller. The 860 EVO has sequential read speeds are up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s, and probably has the previous generation of chips and controller. Keep in mind that these are max Sequential speeds, random read/writes and average read/writes are going to be slower. The random and average read/write speeds is where you will see the biggest difference in performance. After taking a second look at the specks of both, if you aren't rendering 4k video or something like that I would save money and get the EVO.

According to Samsung's website, it is "Samsung V-NAND 2bit MLC".

When cloning the desktop harddrive to the ssd is a usb to sata adapter required or can the cloning be handled after mounting the ssd in the desktop?

You said that this SSD is used on a desktop PC. So you can connect both the original hard drive and the SSD using SATA cables. Or you can mount one with SATA cable and the other one with USB to SATA adapter. It doesn't matter which hard drive is connected with which. As long as your cloning software recognizes both drives. Just make sure that the USB to SATA adapter and the USB port you connect to are both USB 3.0. The speed is much faster with USB 3 ports and adapter. Hope this helps.

Would this be compatible with a macbook pro 15" late 2011 model?

The machine I am using right now is my Mid-2012 MBP 13 inch. I cloned one of these drives into this machine at the beginning of November. This "vintage" ol'girl with 16GB of RAM (that's right sixteen GB) now screams along. I think that I have a couple more years of useful life in it. This is a good price for the Samsung PRO model, it will likely come down in price, like most electronics.

Replaced Kingston SSD with Samsung 860 PRO for good

I was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of Kingston SSD and now with Samsung 860 PRO, I am amazed at the difference and reliability. With former, my laptop would stop responding every now and then now it never blinks.

This was for replacing an existing 1TB HDD on an old Windows 10 computer with this SSD. The speed improvement was dramatic around 10 fold. Would highly recommend this as an easy way to dramatically increase the performance of an old Windows laptop.

Bought this SSD to replace the failing mechanical hard disk (making heavy noise while moving laptop) in my Sony Vaio. After replacing it, everything is blazing fast booting, opening/closing applications etc. Recommend this to anybody who wants best performance from SSD.

Awesome SSD Speedy and reliable... Amazon.... Not so much... bought 3 of these now and 2 are working great in one of my servers. the 3rd however is waiting to be reshipped as amazon sent me a OPENED box WITHOUT the ssd even inside it, Someone had clearly bought this, returned "it" by keeping the ssd and putting some OLD ram sticks taped inside. sent it back.... then amazon sent it to me! some QUALITY CONTROL! NOT!!! buying electronics if i can from Newegg from now on. they have RMA fees but atleast they check their returns and i have never got something like this from Newegg.... amazon totally failed on this one.... Now for the ssd, i have them in my server and they perform perfectly. no more slow downs, instant file access of large databases and VMs is awesome. backup times are so speedy now. bogs down a bit with a lot of smaller files but thats windows/NTFS's fault not the SSD. overall the SSD is great, Amazon service and QC not so much.
