2012 15inch Macbook pro (retina) i7(2.3GHz quad-core) 256g SSD. The battery died after 2 years, but since I had that extended warranty it was covered. The bill would have been $500 otherwise becz it's glued to the screen (or some such nonsense). Now I'm super paranoid about the battery and leave it plugged in 90% of the time. Wish I could upgrade the SSD. Not super impressed by the new mac laptops (really not that big of a difference for me). Now thinking of taking the hit and getting a Windows10/Ubuntu desktop (with maybe 32G/64G memory) with an AMD Ryzen7 and a Nvidia1080. Wish I could get a mac desktop like that, but given up hope that Apple can pull their finger out.
