Honestly - what is is there to do?
More ram, bigger hard drives, better video cards, better battery life, cheaper.
Software will always need bug fixes...
And a shit-ton of that. They haven't been keeping pace on bug fixes for years now. Even though I've ditched Mac at this point, I still check in MPG to see what I'm missing. And because my wife still has the last MBP.
I stumbled on the Core Rot series googling a very irritating bug which Apple didn't seem to be addressing. Come to find out, it was well known and a year old at that point. Still hasn't gotten fixed 3 years later.
