This year I purchased a maxed out 2015 MacBook Pro with MagSafe 2 and all the ports. Absolutely love it and will be sending it to Rossman for repair if anything happens to it. Apple removing MagSafe and the ports is just bonkers. I write code so I’d never use a touch bar. Replacing the ports with dongles surely helps them make a cheaper board but is shitty experience for everyone else. Making intentional efforts to reduce repairability from 1 to zero on a ten point scale is also hostile. Love the OS and the attitude toward privacy but everything else sucks. Have been running a Hackintosh for photo and video work for two years and while it’s stuck on an old macOS it still works and has plenty of power. Don’t see myself touching any of the new laptops. May look into a Mac mini with external graphics but it’s so overpriced that buying it feels humiliating and exploitative.
