I agree with the Touch Bar criticism and I think the keyboard is not great in that it seems impossible to repair--it must always be replaced, apparently at great expense.

Apart from that, this seems like a lot of opinion. My personal machine is a 12" MacBook and I've used it extensively for "real work", everything from professional software development to writing stories and novels (just a hobby, but it makes heavy use of the keyboard). It is my favorite computer out of all that I've owned, but it seems to "suffer" from many of the criticized aspects of the Pro, to a greater degree in many cases.

I guess maybe it's more reasonable to criticise the "Pro" model on the basis of these complaints, but there are still many professional users for whom it's well suited. I know I'd be a huge fan of my work machine, a 13", if not for the Touch Bar.
