I took delivery of my 13 inch Touchbar MBP last week and after a weekend and 2 full work days with it, I have to say that I've not been this happy with a new Mac in since my first one. I've owned a Mac Mini (just after intel launch), iMac, MacBook (White), 15 inch MBP, 11 inch Air and most recently 2 years with a 13 inch air so I got a good stable to compare to. This laptop feels incredible, it's plenty powerful enough for what I do (Sketch/Photoshop, HTML/CSS, PHP/MAMP, Swift, C for embedded microcontroller work, large spreadsheets for forecasting) and while I've not put the battery through its paces I can't remember the last time I ran my Air's battery down to less than 50%. The screen is amazing (even compared to my wife's 2015 retina MPB), the overall finish is great, I really don't mind the keyboard although I type on a Magic Keyboard so it's not that different really. The touchbar is new, novel and not all that useful right now but given it's not tied down to an App store I'm looking forward to what people make for it. Touch id is a big plus as well. The USB C future is going to be very nice, sadly that future is not right now. Plugging my laptop into a screen for power, USB and video will be very convenient but right now it's damned awkward but that's the early adopter price I guess. Apple won't back down on USB and I'm glad someone is willing to force this through as it's time to settle on the one connection that can do it all. You can plug in an iPhone, you need to buy a USB C to lightning cable or dongle. People complain about the price of the cable but if you've got a £1,750 computer and a £700 phone then £20 really isn't that much. Just my 2 cents
