-There exist adapters that are quite stylish that provide thunderbolt, charging (admittedly no magsafe), sd, hdmi, etc all in one piece. They are pretty pricy though.
-Personally, I quite like the feel of the new MBP keyboard, even compared to the 2015 MBP. If you want longer travel distance, get a mechanical keyboard and plop it on top of your laptop. I'm also convinced I can type faster with chiclet style keyboards (I tend to bottom out the keys).
-The trackpad, while large, is actually quite intelligent about detecting accidental presses, and in my memory has never activated unintentionally. I've noticed on my Thinkpad (tiny, tiny trackpad) that accidental trackpad activation is hugely annoying (not sure if Windows deals with it but my Linux drivers definitely don't).
-The touchbar has been absolutely worthless and an annoyance at best. I remap escape to caps lock so I never have to deal with the touchbar.
-I suppose this is an older review, but the current MBPs do have a physical off button (which doubles as a fingerprint sensor).
-The latest 6 core 15 inch is beautiful and fast. I don't think twice about dropping it into my backpack because it's so light, and it's a joy to use day to day. As an iOS developer it's a godsend. I do wish the Mac Pro had a refresh, the iMac Pro seems to be a strong option though.

I'm at the point where I'm going to have to upgrade my MBP pretty soon, and the second I do, I'm buying a set of these. https://www.snapnator.com/shop https://www.snapnator.com/shop (Unless, of course, Apple does the "unthinkable" and brings back MagSafe... a guy can dream, right?)
- pbecotte 8y agoThe really fun thing is that my Dell Precision on Ubuntu runs our test suite twice as fast as a latest model MBP
