I was never a hardcore Apple user. Only started seriously jumping ship at November 2017 when me and my wife bought iPad Pros and iPhone X for both of us. Had the MacBook 12" from before.

Then I bought a refurbished MBP 2015 15". Couldn't be happier with a laptop, honestly. Only thing I hate is when you load it heavily for a few minutes and the fans start wailing like a banshee. But truthfully, that's just a hate towards laptops in general. :D

The MBP 2015 is extremely durable, still lightweight enough, very powerful -- on compilation it seriously outperforms the 2nd gen i7 CPU on my gaming PC! -- and has a respectable battery life even when loaded. Never had to look for an outlet before I hit 6 hours of coding and compiling. And if I wasn't doing much compiling and mostly was just reading, coding from time and time, and watching videos, once it actually lasted for 10 hours.

So again, I ain't an Apple expert but ever since I got the MBP 2015 and read countless reviews and stories about the other models (like this thread) I still can't see what would ever entice me to buy another MacBook. Especially having in mind that the keyboard of the MBP 2015 is much better compared to anything on any subsequent MacBook so far.
