You mean the one without a real keyboard or the one with only one port while plugged in?

The Macbook Pro has 4 total USB C ports. You can use any of them to charge, and still use all 3 of the others for whatever else needs doing. The keyboard is subjective.

  > The keyboard is subjective. The feel of the keyboard is indeed subjective (I happen to like the feel of the keyboard on the new MacBook Pro), but in this case Apple genuinely built a buggy keyboard, so much so that people are writing songs about it [1].

    I ordered one and then returned it (for the first time ever after ~10 or so MBPs) -- ended up just purchasing a new refurb non-touchbar MBP, which is what it was replacing too. Largest reason for return: G key. 30% of the time = two Gs. 50% = 1 G. Remaining 20% = 0 Gs/no keydown whatsoever. Hah.

  The 13" Pro model has two USB-C ports.

    My 13" Pro has four USB-C ports. I think it's just the non-touchbar one that only has two.

    Not all of them. The models with the Touch Bar have four.

I disliked my new MBP at first honestly it’s not that bad if you can bring the rest of your hardware up to speed. My monitor does video, charging, and USB 3 with full size ports with one cable. And the keyboard is subjective, I got used to it pretty easily. I actually feel like it’s more tactile than the old one

  "it’s not that bad" That is not the most ringing endorsement for a very expensive and supposedly premium laptop.

    It’s amazing, but the circlejerk for hating it is so strong I have to temper myself and say “it’s not that bad” lest people foaming at the mouth to insult me bury my comment in “OMG HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT OBVIOUSLY BAD LAPTOP IS GOOD”. Even my initial comment about the Pro MacBook being... the MacBook Pro apparently bothered people enough to downvote me.

  I tried to live with mine for about 6 months before giving up, selling it and buying a second hand 2015. Needed keyboard repair twice in that time, and was horrible to type on. Useless touchbar, and an over-large trackpad that was constantly activating when typing. The last was odd as I regularly touch the old size trackpad with thumbs when typing but never had an issue. Add in the occasional freeze and crash and I feel it was a complete lemon. I'm very happy with my 2015 and get longer battery times than I did with the newer model. I have no idea what I'll do when it needs replacing.

  > My monitor does video, charging, and USB 3 with full size ports with one cable. My Lenovo X1 Yoga also does everything via one Thunderbolt cable, but it also has a full selection of normal ports on the notebook itself rather than only on the docking station. It also has a 1440p touch screen and a nice keyboard, and still costs 1000 € less than a Macbook Pro ^W Deluxe.
