7 Reasons to Buy the 2018 MacBook Pro & 4 Reasons Not To
Buy If You Love Using Siri at Your Mac | ||||||||||||

Do you use Siri on your Mac as much as you do on your iPhone or iPad? If so you may want to buy the new MacBook Pro so that you can use Hey Siri to launch the assistant. This is a new feature for the 2018 MacBook Pro, made possible by the new T2 chip that is part of the Touch Bar. You cannot use Hey Siri on older Mac's but you can launch Siri and then talk to your Mac. With Hey Siri on your MacBook Pro, you can launch apps, schedule appointments, control your smart home and play music. In an office, with your Mac connected to a speaker it could take the place of a HomePod, and save you a few hundred dollars. | ||||||||||||

“Not everyone needs the best processor or 32GB of RAM, but even if you opt for a base or mid-line 2018 MacBook Pro, it’s going to last you longer and serve you better than buying an older model if you keep your notebook until it cannot do the work you need anymore.”
Can you update the SSD on a post-2015 MacBook? Are you sure your keyboard will still even work in two more years? I’d say the post-2015 models have been the most un-upgradable, un-serviceable, and (because of keyboard issues) least reliable Macs in over 15 years. Would not recommend until Apple gets its head out of its ass and starts making top-tier laptops for professionals again.
