It's basically my dream laptop on account of the screen: wide gamut, variable refresh rate, great brightness and contrast. In the regard it's way nicer than the Air (which is what I have now). But I do any heavy lifting tasks on a (cheaper + Windows) desktop with an i7 and 32 GB of RAM, so my laptop doesn't need to be the beefiest machine in existence. Nor do I run piles of VMs or huge deep learning datasets. IMO it's a computer more for artists than it is for programmers, and that's driving a lot of the negativity about it on HN. We're mostly programmers on here. On the USB-C note, I'm curious what happens to the Mac Pro now. They're pushing USB-C as the new standard for pro accessories, and yet the Mac Pro doesn't support it. As if being 3 years old wasn't bad enough, now it's 3 years old and has the wrong ports. Here's hoping for an "Our bad, the new Mac Pro has USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, upgradeable GPUs and multiple drive bays," but I'm not holding my breath.
