### Comment:
my 2012 MBP died a couple months ago.  Went shopping for a new one and was disgusted by the prices as well as reviews— apparently the metal cases are thinner now and subject to bending. even.. cracking!   
  
 i love the os x/ios ecosystem but god damn 2k for a new mbp that probably isn’t too different than my heavily modded 2012 mbp is not worth it 
  
 i’m looking at refurbished options

Refurbished? You mean slowed to ice melting speeds by 'updates'?
