The new models are subpar in build quality imho and the touch bar is completely useless tech.
- Ocerge 8y agoYep, those are the holy grail machines at my shop. Everybody that has one is skipping their turn when they are due for an upgrade. Unfortunately I got hired too late and have a 2017 15-inch.
- post_break 8y agoWhy? They still sell that model: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-2015/ https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-2015/
- Ocerge 8y agoNot our choice, IT only lets us choose the newer models.
- tjr 8y agoI still use my 2010 MBP from time to time. I recently bought a new iMac, not because I really wanted an iMac, but because I needed a newer and more capable computer for some things, was unhappy with the current MBP offerings, and did not want to buy an already borderline-obsolete Mac Pro. So far so good with the iMac! I've been an Apple user since 2002, and while I really don't want to move to something else, some of their recent decisions have had me seriously considering it...
- rootbear 8y agoI have a slightly earlier MBP and I'll keep it till it dies. I have some neuropathy in my fingers, a souvenir of neck surgery, and I mostly type on mechanical keyboards (all hail Cherry MX Blue!). I have tried the new MBPs in the Apple store and I simply cannot use them. There is too little feedback for my damaged hands. I'm sad that my current MBP is probably my last Apple notebook. Their current obsession with thinness is ruining their hardware.
