No, I'm not complaining that they are updating yearly. Like I said above, I'm bitter that a mid-generation update like this would be so big as to make my 2016 model obsolete. These things don't exactly sell for pocket change.
I didn't buy the emoji MBP because it wasn't good enough for me. But if you bought it and it is good for you today, it won't become any slower when a revised MBP comes out.
