Ask HN: Macbook Pro mid 2015 vs. mid 2017 (15“)

2 points by misterioss 8y ago ↗ HN

I'm looking for a good quality machine for development. Requirements are next: Good display and performance for hard projects in Node.js/Meteor, code editing in WebStorm, running a few docker containers. I really want MBP mid 2017. Any major issues not to buy it

I have a Mid 2015 i5, my coworker has a Mid 2017 i7. No touch bar.

We do the same type of work: Node, PhpStorm, Vagrant. None of us have any relevant issues about performance, heat or battery.

The only thing I like about mine (2015) is that I do not need adapters for HDMI or USB.

Other than that, feel free to go with any of those.
