I've had my MBP 2016 with Touch Bar since Tuesday. Some additional thoughts for anybody who cares:
Re: the speakers.
I was watching something on Netflix on my chest lying on my back (you know the position) and the speakers were so good they almost sounded like surround sound.
I had to turn the sound off because I was convinced somebody had walked in to the room behind me. Seriously good speakers.
The keyboard is also excellent, if not a bit noisy for my fat fingers but it doesn't bother me.
Touch bar - meh. It's good when it works but it's not life changing. When more apps (I'm looking at you spotify) get on board I expect I'll use it more. It definitely doesn't detract from the experience.
Battery life is a real bug bear of mine. I come from a MacBook Air 2013 model and could easily get 6+ hours even if I was using Chrome heavily. Now my average run time is closer to 4 hours. Those two hours make all the difference.
The trackpad in my opinion is not too large. Having said that I was happy with the size of the previous track pad, I don't know why they increased the size but it hasn't lessened the track pad experience.
Finger print to login and siri a touch bar click away is neat, I hope to use siri more now.
