I bet you'll get dramatically different opinions based upon people who bought it themselves or had work buy it for them. Former have to self justify cost, latter don't.

I am one of latter. The touch bar is garbage. It is less accurate and takes longer than the old media. I rarely use it. I use emaca - try hitting meta-f a few times in a row and tell me that getting rid of the ESC key is not annoying

The new keyboard is garbage. I occasionally open my previous mac and I really miss the keyboard. I have a maxed-out MacBook Pro 15" touch bar. Apple has really screwed up its human interfaces.

I spent the extra $200 to get four (vs two) Thunderbolt ports, not so much for the Touch Bar.


That's quite fair. I should have stated I was considering the 15" model. $200 for the extra thunderbolt ports is probably worth it.
