I didn't read a single technology or feature any ultra modern computer has that the 4 years old MBP doesn't have, nor about anything you can't do on it any newer computer does.
People are interpreting "PCs are extremely good and capable now" as "PC is dead".
- AhtiK 10y agoSkylake supports HEVC (H.265) codec making it so much more battery efficient to encode and decode video [1]. Smaller battery consumption also means less heating issues, so that's what keeps me excited about "ultra modern" computers that none of the MBPs has.

- kalleboo 10y ago> Smaller battery consumption also means less heating issues This is the main thing for me - I'm still using a 2012 rMBP as my main machine, and I have no complaints about performance except often when you try to make the most of the performance it's capable of, it overheats and throttles down. Especially a problem in the summer.
