We're inching ever so gradually toward idlewords's 2016 piece "Benjamin Button Reviews The New MacBook Pro".[1]

Reminds me of the "Upgrade to Windows 7" article that was doing the rounds when Windows 8 was big.

I feel that both were appropriate. I think that Windows 7 was in many ways, better than Windows 8; the MacBook Pros before the 2016 redesign were in many ways, better than the ones after that.

I'm sure there will be a design that will be better than the 2015 model (Which I recently bought, second hand, after using the 2016 one for a bit over a year.) But we haven't seen it yet. Similarily, I'd rather use the modern Windows 10 rather than Windows 7. But Windows 8 or Windows 10 at its inception? Heck no.
