I bought one last summer and upgraded the SSD (with a small adapter you can drop in most NVME M.2 SSDs). HDMI out, dual mini DP out, 2x USB 3, SD card slot (which I keep filled with a 400GB microSD in a little adapter for more storage). Retina. Old scissor switch keyboard. Should get another 2 or more macOS updates before being sunset.

Just bought a used 2015 MacBook Pro 15”. Got a new battery for free due to the recall. Much better than anything else I could buy today, at 1/3 the cost.
