Ask HN: Any Developers enjoy the new MBP 15“?

2 pointsby timemachinerover 8 years ago
I recently bought one for development and am very impressed with it.<p>I&#x27;ve seen all day battery life unplugged during my work outside of the house which is 6-8 hour range. Even within that range it estimates I have 10+ hours of battery life left.<p>I love the display. Much better than my older MBP and am overall very satisfied with the purchase.<p>Wondering if any other devs&#x2F;users like it as well?

I&#x27;m pleased with it.<p>At first I had some issues with it thinking my external display was a TV -- but now that I&#x27;ve taught it the difference between shit and Shinola, everything&#x27;s good.<p>I&#x27;m stoked that the company bought me a new machine -- and I think it&#x27;s pretty nice. My only complaint is that I wish they still made a 17&quot; MBP. My eyes aren&#x27;t what they used to be.

Apple hardware has fallen so far behind I&#x27;ve become a Hackintosh convert.<p>If you&#x27;re paying for top of the line build quality, you shouldn&#x27;t have to sacrifice for last-gen hardware for the sake to be 1mm thinner.
