FWIW, I just bought a 2015 MBP and it's brilliant. It has the retina screen, old school keyboard, great trackpad "old USB", magsafe, SD card slot and HDMI. It will run the latest macOS no problem.

If it ever dies, I might just get another one.

I hope the battery was replaced? There's a recall affecting the battery for mid-2015 MBPs. The batteries can explode even when not being charged and the system not in use, it's definitely worth complying with the recall (which they make very easy, I did it with mine right after the recall was announced and got mine back within 4 business days).

Not all mid 2015 MBPs are affected. I think it is only some 15". I own a 13" and 15" and neither are affected. You can verify that the battery is good on Apple's website, by checking out your MBP's serial.

As the comment lower said, it doesn't affect mine, I have a 13"
