I just sold my last Apple product ever - a mid-2016 Touch Bar, top-specs. The machine itself wasn't a problem, great form factor and beautiful design... but your points about serviceability, useful ports and dongles is so painful I can't stand it!
I had to purchase a $300USD dock from Elgato just to get full speed from an ethernet connection. I had to pay way more than cost to get a larger SSD and upgraded memory. The only thing the MBP 13,3 had over my Thinkpad E560 is a better graphics chip and slightly better Core i7.
The keyboard blows, the touchbar is kinda useful but only the 5-10% of time I'm not at my desk with the lid closed and the dock.
None of this is to mention the proprietary software.
Old MBP was leagues better. My #1 requirement for a laptop is "can I upgrade the hardware myself"
- andrei_says_ 9y agoOS X is still more secure and privacy friendly than windows. This is the main reason for me.
