No. I own a 2015 15" MacBook Pro, fully loaded except for only 512 SSD. I'll wait for the next refresh when, hopefully, they'll have Kabylake, 32 GB of LPDDR4, and maybe they will have rethought the SD card slot. By that time developers will have figured out what to do with the Touch Bar and knowing Apple they will have sorted out any hardware problems.
I really wanted to upgrade. Every announcement Apple has I am the guy in the take-my-money meme.
They just didn't do it this time. Between the 16GB limit, the lack of ports, no magsafe, and removing the function keys that I actually use quite a lot.
32GB haters: I'm currently migrating a huge database from mongo to postgres and I run docker containers in development.
Function key haters: Yes, I actually use them and every time I've bought something where virtual buttons replace physical ones it's been worse, at least in the first few generations.
"Just get a dongle" haters: I know, they make usb-c everything, but my current set of MacBooks don't require me to carry anything but my Thunderbolt 2 ethernet adapter and at $80 I guard it with my life.
- rankam 10y agoGenuinely appreciate your response, but not everyone with a different opinion than you is a hater :)
- slededit 10y agoI doubt the touch bar will see much adoption, its on too few computers. If they were serious about it I'd expect a replacement keyboard for the iMacs as well as making it universally available on all their laptops. It just won't make sense to target it for anything other than trivial features until it has more market penetration.
