They haven’t yet released a machine worth upgrading to if you’re on a 2015 MBP. I recently got a 14” M1 and I think I’ll just reinstall my 2015 and move back to it.
You can’t be serious? The m1 is so good, great performance, much quieter and doesn’t get hot, and the battery life is amazing. Also there’s not many compatibility issues now
…absolutely not. I jumped from a 2015 to an M1 and never looked back. It’s 100% worth the upgrade.
The 14" M1 is the spiritual successor to the 2015 MBP I think. Ports, magsafe charger (with higher quality cable), larger screen within a marginally larger footprint, keyboard is good unlike the last few years, solidly built, no touch bar, finger print login, performance, etc. No complaints personally.
I upgraded from a 2015 15" MBP to a 2021 16" MBP. I'm loving the upgrade. Fast. Better display. Much better battery life. Still has magsafe. The keyboard is acceptable. What do you think is missing and/or bad about the new models?
I’d wager that the vast majority of people who have made that upgrade would disagree with that view; it’s a substantial step-change in most ways, if you use the device for software development or content creation.
That’s certainly a hot take. I’m not sure many would share that opinion.
Battery life and speed alone are totally noticeable. This doesn't mention that Intel fires up the fans anytime a CPU calculation is done. I think you're being disingenuous here.
I upvoted you because you're entitled your opinion, but I whole-heartedly disagree.
