I thought the 2015 had a force touch and non mechanical touchpad too.


exactly ;) so well-designed that you can't even tell it's non mechanical (unless you turn the clicky sound and vibrations off)

I still prefer the 2015 Macbook Pros to the current release and that's just sad. How is it so easy for Apple to throw away so much good design research and implementation? They don't even have the mag-safe chargers, nor the the battery indicator lights on the chargers, what a step backwards on such simple but great functionality!


I own a 2015 Macbook since the launch in 2015 (duh), and I remember letting people use my force touch trackpad saying that it doesn't 'click'. Took almost everyone at least several minutes to convince them that the trackpad doesn't actually click. :-)

Furthermore I do agree with you on pretty much every point. I don't like my 2017 Macbook and I most certainly won't upgrade my 2015 to any new pro laptop.


Correct, the 2015 has force touch, which is how they fit the 99.5 Wh battery.


Whoa, I switched to a 2015 MBP last year and didn't know about force touch yet. Time to repeat the onboarding I guess, there is some incredibly useful hidden UI.


Yes it has force touch trackpad
