I'm seeking a replacement for my early 2011 MBP (retro-fitted with more RAM, an SSD as the primary disk and a 1tb swapped in-place of the DVD drive). I'd like to upgrade for a Retina display and something faster and lighter than 2011 parts, but this refresh left me questioning whether buying this generation will be a mistake given all the blowback.

So I can't wait - but buying a 2015 model seems like it may be the better value to avoid dongle hell and swapping out multiple power bricks for the new connector.
