The case for buying the 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display

I agree with this video 100%. If anybody were to ask me today what Apple computer they should buy that would give them the most bang for their buck, I would make the rare suggestion of not recommending the latest Apple laptop release. I would instead encourage them to buy a 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display before the supplies run out! This is what I consider to be Apple's last near-perfect computer.

Here are the reasons why:

  1. MAGSAFE.
  2. MAGSAFE!!
  3. Thunderbolt 2 ports (this port is generally fast enough as it is for most people)
  4. USB 3 ports (if you must use USB-C, you can always buy an adapter -- easier to buy one adapter than having to buy many to convert the other way).
  5. SD card slot. This is insanely useful and I hate that Apple took this out of their pro machines. This pro machine's still got it!
  6. MAGSAFE!!!!!!
  7. A keyboard you can actually type on.

So yes, if you're in the market to buy a new laptop, make it an old one. This laptop is insanely fast, very capable, and priced extremely low compared to its latest-generation counterparts.
