So if I compare the base model (13", no touchbar) with my current-gen 13" pro I see exactly one advantage: Thunderbolt 3. Seems nice to have for future docking stations and monitors. Don't care if only used as a notebook And lots of disadvantages: No Magsafe connector, no HDMI (which most current-gen monitors have), no SD Card, probably a worse keyboard if they adapted the 12" Macbook key style and 300€ more expensive. The touchbar might be a nice gimmick for some casual users which never used the function keys anyway. But I guess for most folks here that use their notebook for programming it will cause more trouble than help. It's not like most IDEs will support for the touchbar anytime soon if at all. And without special support it can be only worse then physical keys. They should have probably offered at least the 15" version without a touchbar too.
