I totally agree with this article. I have a MacBook Pro circa 2015, and it's awesome.<p>I haven't touched the new machines, but they aren't inspiring, though the black option is really nice to see :)<p>I haven't touched the keyboard, which it sounds like they changed. I really like the one on the generation I have, and I also like the wireless model that Apple came out with. Anyone know if it matches the wireless keyboard? Cause I like that one, short throw and large quiet key movement.<p>In terms of the touch bar, eh, I really like the idea of having thumbprint access to the computer. I hope this is accessible to other applications. As a developer I'm minorly annoyed at losing function keys for certain tasks, but maybe I can utilize it to create custom keys and icons in different contexts, which could be really cool.<p>Otherwise, while it doesn't offend me, it's definitely not worth upgrading to. But IMO, like this article, it's still the best Unix OS based laptop on the market (yes I know it's XNU, but it's 100% posix and full BSD subsystem, which is better than windows' posix mode and Linux veneer).<p>Anyway, while it isn't better than my current machine, it is thinner and lighter which are nice haves, and <i>I</i> might actually like the new keyboard.
