The loss of useful ports was painful as was the excessive CPU throttling to make the machine thinner, especially on a machine purportedly built for “pros”.
WHICH MACBOOK DO I HAVE MODEL NUMBER PRO
In fact, I would prefer a 2015 Macbook Pro bought used over any of the failure prone versions as of late. My 2013 rMBP 15 still handles like new and after its battery replacement I reckon it could last another 5 years. The screen, battery and harddrive are more expensive to replace than the generation before, but there is nothing prone to failure that wouldn't have failed already in this generation. In my opinion the newer ones have trade-offs that I can't stand, primarily the poor battery life at load, but also the several reliability issues that seem to be alike to an over-engineered German car. The rMBP is in my opinion the best laptop ever made. Sure, it's not as reliable as the Unibody generation that preceded it, if we count the 2011 MBP then that would take the reliability victory, but as for the newer Macbooks the problems present in the Retina generation such as the screen coating issues were all owned up by Apple and given a very long extended replacement program. It was the pinnacle of engineering, high performance with all day battery life that lasted 2 hours longer than listed.
There was nothing on the market like it when it came out. The Retina 2012-2015 generation Macbook Pro. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.
