The 2015 MacBook Pro is fantastic. Excellent keyboard, hdmi port, sane size trackpad, beautiful display you can open and close as many times as you want. No touchbar, so all keys are finger-find-able. Excellent durability. More than fast enough. Oh, and MagSafe. No dongles, no humiliation.

After you use the 2016+, the 2015 feels like a ton of lead I have both. I waited the longest time to switch because I wanted Linux which is what the 2015 can do 2015 also has the old shitty ports and only 2 usb I do not have a dongle but at my desk I have a 10-port usba for legacy hardware. usba was deprecated in 2017. for me since 2016, it's all usbc but really, 2015 is big and heavy and the fan runs a lot and top it off has the old shitty keyboard

I was handed a 2015 Pro when I started this current job and they were apologetic they didn't have a 2018 Pro available for me like the other members of my team. I told them to cancel the order.

Agreed. Pinnacle of the laptops. I am riding mine 'til it is dead, then I'm worried what I'll do.

  You will send it to Louis Rossman, and he’ll fix it :)

Yes, and it feels like a silver lining of the end of Moore's Law that I get to keep using it.

So on the other side, if anyone is reading. I LOVE the dongle. Instead of unplugging multiple cables each time I go to a meeting, I take one out and that's it. When I return I plug it back in. Humiliation? No one cares tbh. Keyboard was strange the first week to two but now I don't mind it at all. Trackpad size, no problems there. It's bigger, so what? Let's see about the display. Touchbar is pretty good. I use it mostly for volume and brightness tbh, same as I did with the keys. The sliding mechanics of the touchbar allows me to adjust them better imo. Magsafe is something I thought I would miss a lot, but I don't. The USB C cable is so easy to take out anyway, so I think if someone trips over it it might work as well as the magsafe. Let's see (never happened in 7 years so far).
