This bad boy (MacBook Pro 15 late 2013) just got a new battery.
I’m hoping to keep it alive until Apple comes up with a decent pro laptop again.
I had it serviced yesterday, and I was nostalgic.
Learned Node.js (v0.11) on this device in 2013.
Got promoted to software architect working on it.
Built an AI product in 2015 on it.
Pitched a COO of an F500 company with it.
Got my 1st gig (and the next 40) as a consultant and executed on it.
Built Archbee as a diagram tool on it.
Pivoted Archbee into a docs tool for technical teams on it.
Sold $60K worth of Archbee licenses on a deal on it, first month into the pandemic.
Got it to $1M+ valuation from the first angels on it — the same year.
Now we’re close to 100 customers paying monthly subscriptions.
It sounds cheesy, but I love it. I’m not going to sell it or let it die dusty somewhere on a shelf.
The build quality, the keyboard, the retina display, the rock-solid OS, the speed of it. It’s so good.
And people saying it's not worth $500 bucks more than other laptops. It's worth $10,000 more... if you value your time.
I hope Apple can go back to this type of magic device.
