How often do you swap your MacBook Pro for a new one, and why do choose to swap it or not swap it out?
For the past 12 years or so I have replaced my 15" MBP about every 1-2 years in an effort to have the most powerful Apple portable possible. Right now I have a 2017 15" MBP 3.1Ghz/16GB/1TB/DG, exactly two years old. My last MPB was a 2015 model. I'm not a power user anymore, so I decided not to replace my 2017 MBP this year. The only thing that I dislike about my current 2017 MBP is the keyboard, everything else is great. And considering I paid $3500 USD for this thing, I'm not keen on putting more money in Apple's pocket so quickly.
I'm thinking I might hold on to this MBP for another two years, its covered under an AppleCare Plan for one more year, a good marketing point for a possible sale right now by the way. Would you sell if you still had a little AppleCare warranty left to help with the price?
