Few days ago I've bought previous generation Retina 15,4 with funny faces from sellers at my local Apple store :) Great keyboard, dependable battery, Magsafe, ESC and other goodies :) And I couldn't be happier - no crappy keyboard, no donglemagendon and other crap :)

Same! It's a far superior piece of hardware. The prices they charge for dongles on top of the already-high price of the laptop are insane.

I just sold my mid-2015 rMBP on Craigslist, but I won’t be moving to the new one. I tried the new ones, Windows 10 tablet hybrids, iPad, iPad Pro, and Android tablets. I settled on an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard and LTE - I wouldn’t have been able to do that had I not discovered Blink Terminal (an iOS MOSH/SSH client) and do most of my “real” work in the shell. Otherwise, I’d probably have ended up with an X1 Carbon running ArchLinux. I may still end up with a Carbon, but so far I’ve not been able to rationalize the expense.

  What did you sell it for? I just bought a new 2015 rMBP (2.2 GHZ, 16GB, 256) for $1750 off Ebay in order to avoid the issues everyone else is having. Yesterday it was on sale for about $1500 at BestBuy...doh

    I bought a 2nd hand 2015 rMBP in mint condition with Applecare till 2019 October. 2.9Ghz, 8GB, 512SSD for $1100 I think i got a very good deal, I am hoping Apple would understand their mistake and at least make something decent by 2019.

    An office near me (we're moving into the same building) recently cleared out a lot of old hardware. I found 2 rMBPs among the 'broken' pile. One didn't boot, the other did boot but had a smashed screen. I took both, swapped the screens, and now have one perfectly working 2014 mid-range rMBP (2.5GHz, 16GB, 256GB, GT750) /for free/. Could not believe my luck! Easily fast enough to keep up with the current machines. One man's trash ^_^

    $950. I had it listed on Facebook for two weeks at $1200 with no offers. I live in a fairly poor area though, so I ended up driving to the nearest city to deliver it too. FWIW, it was the exact specs you listed. Here's the label from the box: https://photos.app.goo.gl/W2q9qrUQXtAxRuOp2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/W2q9qrUQXtAxRuOp2
