The new MacBook Pro (2016 to current) is a mess on multiple levels, the entire thing should be scrapped and redesigned.
The 2015 model and before remains the best Mac laptop, it's too bad they couldn't just update that to have 32GB RAM and a modern CPU. The keyboard is already great, it already has many ports that are widely used, it has a hardware escape key and function keys, it does not have an annoying touch bar, it's an upgrade in every possible way compared to the newer mess for what a "pro" user actually cares about.
- ridgeguy 8y agoThis. I bought a 2015 from the Apple refurb store rather than a new 2016 model for just the reasons you cite.
- amac 8y agoLikewise. Don't regret the decision.
- rdl 8y agoI have a loaded late-2013; it feels weird that I can have basically any laptop in the world that I want, but there's such marginal improvement in 2015 vs. 2013, and actual regression from 2015 to 2018, that my mac is almost 5 years old. (I have a 64GB RAM Acer for workstation use, though.)
