- copperx 9y agoAnd he's not wrong. I've been holding to this 2012 rMBP because I can't stomach paying $1600+ for a downgrade. I would just be getting more RAM, better CPU and GPU (but who cares if you don't game), but the same screen, worse connectivity, worse keyboard, no F-keys, no Esc key, no Magsafe. When this 2012 breaks I hope Apple has either come up with a pro laptop worth upgrading to, or I'll jump ship to an ugly, heavy, unsightly PC laptop; but at least I trust will be functional.
- derwiki 9y agoI had a 2013 MBP and just upgraded to 2017 when I took a contract that required a more powerful dev env. I don’t miss function or escape keys, and Touch ID to unlock/auth 1Password is fantastic. I really don’t understand the dislike of the new models, but YMMV and you’re certainly entitled to your opinion.

- saagarjha 9y agoTyping from a Early 2015 MacBook Pro, I agree with him. I love this computer–it has everything I could want: macOS, a bunch of ports (including MagSafe), a great keyboard (I'm very partial to the inverted-T arrow key layout), and it's still reasonably thin, fast, and light.
