The build quality of my late 2013 MacBook Pro is a lot better than that of my early 2018 MacBook Pro with touch bar. When I picked it up in cantilever with one hand it felt less flexy. The latter has seams that don’t line up and such around the touch bar, and the fingerprint scanner seems to have seams from manufacture around the edge. Keyboard scrapes every now and then and the bottom of the laptop picks up dirt from the work area and makes an awful sound when you slide it around (with the old under-profile, I didn’t notice this).
Nethertheless, the new machine feels a LOT lighter and, as such, I forgive the engineering team who had their focus elsewhere.
I just wish they’d redesign the speakers so that you can’t tell when tiny skin flakes fall in the microscopic holes (which you can’t get out .. at all). It’s very obvious when a hole is missing due to the pattern of the holes.
