I’ve done a few upgrades to my MacBook Pro since I bought it and which have helped me to still stay satisfied with it.
the new generation of MacBook Pros have a few design choices I’m not too fond of: the keyboard (that is known to break), the Touch Bar gimmick (removing haptic feedback on Esc and Function keys) and the connectors (everything has to happen through dongles).

the new generation of MacBook Pros – up until the latest upgrade – didn’t really provide much more in terms of performance or memory (RAM, CPU, etc.). #Macbook pro gpu panic 2017early full#
It can for example drive my 38″ Dell UltraSharp monitor at full resolution (3840×1600 60 Hz).
it still works after almost 6 years and is still powerful enough for the bulk of my work (thanks to some upgrades – more on this later). There’s a few reasons why I’m still clinging on to this model and don’t feel any need to upgrade to a later model: The main reason that’s possible is because there are still a few ways to upgrade this Apple computer. Of all the Apple computers – and other computers – I’ve owned, the MacBook Pro Late 2013 is the one I’ve been able to keep the longest so far. I’ve started using Apple computers in 2008.
Update: it is now February 2022 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013 after having changed the thermal paste for the CPU and GPU Update: it is now June 2021 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013
