Same! Still have the 2015.

Really the only thing that doesn't work well on it to this day is the dreaded Microsoft Teams, which brings the thing to a screeching halt.

Well, plus trying to do more than minimal VM/container use, to be honest.

We have a lot of people at work with 2015 models - and they are SUPER happy. I have the 2018 model with i7 and I can't really see any difference in performance. I love the display, but mostly I use a 27 inch high DPI external screen along with an Apple magic keyboard.

One thing I strongly dislike about the i7 is how hot it can get with long compiles and such. So I think it's time to upgrade to the M1 Pro or Max.

I’m fairly sure that is a ms teams issue, it runs like trash despite how much hardware you throw at it.
Of course it's an MS Teams issue, but I am required to use MS Teams for work, so it's problematic to be using a machine that has trouble running it!

Unless you're saying even a new M1 mac has just as much trouble running it!
