Agree. I've got the same one and I could not be happier. It's truly amazing!!

Once you get used to the functions it's even better. So impressive.

Andreas, you'll want to get some kind of padding on that keyboard if you're going to be wearing any type of watch while using it. We got something like this for ours.
I think we got it on Amazon.

Thanks, but I don't mind a scratch or two. Have had aluminum Mac's since 2007.

I used an Air previously, and loved the big trackpad, but this one is probably twice as big!

The bar is a nice feature too. It's nothing you use all the time, but it does make sense. �� Space gray color is much nicer than the "plain" aluminum. I like how the bezel of the screen is very thin almost as thin as it was on the old Powerbooks. Funny thing, that it took this long the get it thin again.

Sure, it could have saved a USB port. But then again it's so rarely I plug anything but headphones into my laptop, so it's no biggie. Got to find a good USB-C "dongle".

Biggest mistake they made? Ditching the magsafe. �� Wish they had saved it. But there's third party adapters, so I'll probably order one.

You're right about that. But I'm not so sensitive.

Bought the "MacBook" for my wife last summer, amazingly small. It made my MacBook Air 13" look like a dinosaur. I almost bought one for myself, but figured I'll better wait until the Pro is updated. So I did and when the MacBook Pro was launched I was disappointed... But that was from reading reviews from others who where disappointed. Sure it could have been an uber quad-core machine, but I'll rather have a slim, reasonably fast machine with great battery life. After two days with it now, I really enjoy the Touch-Bar.
