You aren’t. Very ready for this upgrade.

ps… 6 years for a laptop that… works very well to this day is why I have no qualms about the price of this thing.

Same! Still have the 2015.

Really the only thing that doesn't work well on it to this day is the dreaded Microsoft Teams, which brings the thing to a screeching halt.

Well, plus trying to do more than minimal VM/container use, to be honest.

We have a lot of people at work with 2015 models - and they are SUPER happy. I have the 2018 model with i7 and I can't really see any difference in performance. I love the display, but mostly I use a 27 inch high DPI external screen along with an Apple magic keyboard.

One thing I strongly dislike about the i7 is how hot it can get with long compiles and such. So I think it's time to upgrade to the M1 Pro or Max.

I’m fairly sure that is a ms teams issue, it runs like trash despite how much hardware you throw at it.

Of course it's an MS Teams issue, but I am required to use MS Teams for work, so it's problematic to be using a machine that has trouble running it!

Unless you're saying even a new M1 mac has just as much trouble running it!

Got the same life out of mine, although the battery swelled up this year. :-/

Didn't bother to look into the cost of replacement as my initial research indicated that they'd want/need to replace the keyboard and upper chassis as well, so probably a $600+ repair. So I opted for a company laptop instead.

Yeah, my (maxed out at the time) 2012 mbp15r is amazingly still usable -- and there's finally a suitable replacement.

Team 2015 MacBook Pro here. This thing still works so very well and only turns into a pavement grinder when it comes to the fan sound when I play Civ6.

After the 2016 models came out I felt like I'd won the lottery when I found a 2015 model going cheap-ish.

It's been a long wait to upgrade

Yep. I have a Mac mini, a 13 inch MBPR an 11 inch Air all from around 2013 and they just dropped off the MacOS update path in the last few months. All are more than adequate for general office work including software dev.
