My personal laptop is still a 2011 Macbook Air. I was waiting for the new MBP's before I upgraded but after they came out, it was clear that Apple had lost me as a laptop customer. It's not just the hardware. OSX has become steadily worse over the years, and there is no indication that this will be reversed. I'm not looking at getting myself a fully specced ThinkPad T470s: Kaby Lake CPU, 24 GB DDR4 RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD. I'll be running Linux on this thing.
