Jesus, that sounds terrible! I feel lucky my own MBP 2015 has fared without much problems although I did drop it once it which caused the bottom cover's screws pop out one by one in half a year. Bottom cover replacement + replacing a swollen battery (which naturally requires replacing the keyboard) have been the only repairs I've had to do. And charger. I feel the charger wires could be a lot sturdier.
But I hope I'll get at least 5 years more out of it. Although buying a new cool M2 MBP sounds tempting I feel for me there is no particular reason to do so. If I can run an editor, Chrome, some Docker containers and the laptop works well, I feel work-wise I'm pretty much set.
Certainly the OS updates will stop at some point which conveniently will then phase out my MBP. Oh well.
- etempleton 5y agoThe 2015 MacBook Pro was an absolute tank for me. I recently replaced it with an M1 Air, which so far has been incredible. Dare I say the best laptop I have ever used. The keyboard is great, even better than the 2015 pro and Touch ID is great to have as well. I think Apple has learned some lessons, they fixed the keyboards, they added a physical Touch ID button, and it seems like the divisive Touch Bar is probably going to fade away, or at least be optional. I think OSX could use an update that focuses on power users and the finder, but other than that I am pretty happy with the current state of the Mac.
- zucked 5y agoAgreed - I've used virtually all the variants starting back with Powerbooks. I think the 2015 MBP Retina was the most durable, reliable machine I've personally used. My only complaint is non-upgradable RAM - if it had upgradable RAM, I'd keep using mine well into the future.
