Not sure if this is in any way a useful comparison, but it's what I currently use and am looking to replace:

This is definitely compelling. I’m still going to try holding out until the Apple Silicon 16”, but my computer is more and more reminding me how long ago 2015 was.

In the same boat. My 2015 is great but for the fact I do a lot of video and photo editing these days, and those apps push this machine to its limits. My fan runs at the highest speed all day.
