where to get 2015 13" MacBook Pro these days?


hello everyone.

got few days ago refurbished 2017 13" macbook pro tb, 16 gb ram , 500 gb flash storage. , love it, but...

reading here crazy stories failing keyboards, got me worried, if should keep 1 or 2015 model?

guy keep laptop time (last time got mb pro mid 2010 model), ready newer 1 now. since want keep longer time, keyboard biggest problem worry about?
started 2015 model of 13" mbp, looks apple refurbished site doesn't have them, , 15" available.

on other hand... ebay has lot of them used , without warranty left.

welcome, , thank you.
 

why not keep year , judge then? if have 0 issues know, if couple ac. keyboards aren't failing per-se, it's more tight tolerance means small particles can wedged , cause keys become defective. issue keyboard, it's mbp uses such small clearance it's 'issue'. clean regularly , use compressed air , it's not problem, haven't had single stuck key in year i've had mine. there other reports not of keys 'deforming' through heat , such, apple have replaced. either way warranty , aftercare should protect you.

basically, if love computer , worried potential don't let make buy older computer. screen delaminate on older one, keyboard still mess up, virtually still go wrong computer buy. if buy older 1 no warranty you're out of luck. alternatively if must buy older 1 keep eye out refurb, @ least it'll have warranty.
