This is anecdata but…

I have to reboot my late 2013 MacBook Pro a few times a week, when it freezes or becomes partially unresponsive in weird ways. Previous to High Sierra, I tried to remember to reboot it every few months, mostly out of superstition.

I plan to upgrade to a 2015 model when this one dies, for the reasons mentioned elsewhere in this thread and here https://blog.pinboard.in/2016/10/benjamin_button_reviews_the...

Can confirm that review, my first MBP was the 2015 model with El Capitan, it has been nothing but sheer joy for me. I don't even have to deal with temptation because everything that has come out since has been terrible.

Try the NVIDIA Web Driver for video. The new Metal-based window manager doesn't play well with something about the stock video driver. NVIDIA's is faster for me.
