Apple have improved (and probably fixed) the keyboard and increased maximum RAM top 32GB for the 15-inch. These resolving two of the most common complaints seen here previously. Apple have also improved the display, added Siri, better system security and much faster CPUs. The leather sleeves are nice too - wildly expensive but lovely.

It's sad therefore to read so many complaints here - but I suspect many people have silently purchased one.



My previous job (80+ devs shop) provided laptops as primary machines, and we were free to choose size and mac or linux.

I knew 3 people who choose 15”, and about 15~20 people choose linux. We were all devs working with a set of VMs.

Getting 32G only on the 15” puts most of us in a corner. The 4x4 matrix becomes two choices only:

- 15” 32G mac - 13” 32G linux

That’s a really tough choice, I wish Apple just gave 32G to the 13”.
