The new keyboard mechanism is a slight modification of the keyboard on the existing Macbooks. The touch bar is new, granted, but it's riddeled with bugs and the usability is low. In short, it's a gimmic. The new laptops are thinner, but the overall chassis design is the same and is getting very stale.
MacOS is getting slower and more buggy by each update. I used to look forward to updates. Now I dread them, afraid of what will break next. Apple is removing features from their own Mac apps, dumbing it down.
Everything Apple has done on the Mac platform lately seems uninspired and lacking in commitment. See also: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-20/how-apple-alienated-mac-loyalists https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-20/how-apple...

Usability might be low, but it's a whole new subsystem. It will have some bugs, that will be ironed out in future updates (and those are software bugs anyway). >The new laptops are thinner, but the overall chassis design is the same and is getting very stale. On the contrary, it's timeless. Even in 20 years, with 5 new redesigns in between then and now, they will still look good, like a 2000's era Powerbook or a metallic G5 still does 10+ years on.
