The new MacBook Pro refresh is too expensive. $700 CAD more than the equivalent 2013 model. I'm not going to pay that much for a Touch Bar that is a neat addition, but is not something I would opt into as an optional paid upgrade. I will be waiting for the next model, and if pricing doesn't drop by then, it will likely be the moment I need to look elsewhere. $2799 + tax = $3200 for my 2013 was right at the boundary of what I am willing to pay. $3499 + tax = $4000 is going too far. To answer the OP's direct question: if it's an employer paying, then yes I am taking a MacBook over anything else.
