Near 10 years on the MBP15 is doing OK 👍

Yeah all Apple Silicon and prior Intel-based series (I've lost track now) were sans USB-A as far as I can remember.

I’m not trying to claim that everyone has Bluetooth latency issues. I just know that I do, on my mice and my machines. And that other people, my wife included, can’t feel the latency on the same setup. But different people have different tolerance for stuff like this.

I used to walk into an office and see all these flicking displays that were set at 30 Hz, with the whole room full of people not seeing it. And then sneak round fixing the settings for people.

And when I worked on PC/Mac audio/MIDI software I’d still be trying to remove bits of latency that most people couldn’t tell was there.

It’s a gift, not…

The ones after 2015 were also sans HDMI and microSD, which was one of the reasons I waited so long. Thankfully Apple saw sense and put them back 😉

Oh yes, the "barren port period". Roughly coincided with the TouchBar period as far as I recall? Last of our TouchBar M1's will be eBayed shortly. They were pretty decent.
