The size on the 2017 feels better as well as the weight and I appreciate the larger track pad. iTunes particularly likes to hang when doing heavy tasks. The 2017 does get hotter and Ive had more spinning wheels than I had on the 2015. Im trying to adjust to the travel on the 2017 so it doesn't sound like I'm jackhammering when I type.

The keyboard was better on the 2015 and was much quieter. In regards to the 2017, the speakers sound better to me and the battery life appears to be marginally better. I've already ordered the griffin breaksafe charging cable for the 2017 to mimic the mag safe connection. The mag safe charger was much better imo but down the road, I know id get irritated with dust buildup etc. I tried to figure it out over the past couple weeks but never got to the bottom of it. The main issue I had with the 2015 was the USB ports kept turning off my thumb drive and I had to reboot (sometimes more than once) to get the system to recognize it. If they had a 256gb version I would have exchanged for that but they didn't. Having used both within the past couple days I will say I like the 2015 more. A store nearby has 9 brand new 2015's available and I wanted that model for the ports and keyboard so I originally opted for that one. I just returned my 2015 13.3", 128gb, ssd 8gb ram Pro for a 2017 256gb ssd 8gb ram non-TouchBar Pro yesterday. So, what are your thoughts? Any kind of help would be great. I am leaning towards the 2015 model as it has ports, twice as much storage, magsafe, and a proper keyboard but the downside is that it is already a 3 year old laptop, and I am not sure how it'll hold up in the years to come.

That's why I'm unsure if they're worth $2,000. I've also heard a lot of people talking about their problems with the 2017 models, like the laptop itself overheating, the keys making clicking sounds and the keyboard prone to breaking. I only really use my laptop for internet browsing, Netflix, some light gaming and school stuff like MS word, emails, and sometimes photoshop and light video editing, so that's why I don't really think i need the 16gb RAM. 2017 MacBook Pro 13" non-touchbar model, 2.3 GHz/ 8gb/ 256 SSD – it's $2,199 (or $1900 from Apple's refurb store) or if I get the 16gb RAM/ 256 SSD it's $2,519 2015 MacBook Pro 13", 2.9 GHz/ 8gb RAM/ 512 gb SSD – this is practically brand new condition and around $200 AUD cheaper than the 2017 model.Ģ. I'm only borrowing my current 2014 MacBook Pro and as I'm in senior year of high school and planning to attend university next year, I need something for myself.ġ. Hey guys, I am in need of some buying advice.
