Hi everyone, I've been wanting to get a 2018 MBP for quite some time now but the KP issues have been holding me back. I currently have 3 options for my purchase:
[MOD NOTE]
*** All prices are in AUD ***
1. MBP 2018 15/i7/16/256/Radeon 555 - $3300; brand new
2. MBP 2017 15/i7/16/256/Iris - $2300; second hand and no option for AppleCare+ as the seller bought last May
3. MBP 2015 15/i7/16/512/Radeon R9 - $2900; Apple refurbished
I am seriously considering the 2015 model because of all the keyboard issues with the 2017 and KPs with 2018. But it doesn't make sense since the price difference between the 2015 and 2018 is only 500. I am considering the 2017 just for the price. But then again tge 2018 keyboard 'should' be better.
I will be using the machine for all sorts of software development, web mobile ios and android, running vms, etc. My wife will be doing light to medium video editing as well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
