I am not a fan of the Touch Bar. I’m one of those who thinks the 2015 MacBook Pro is the epitome of human achievement.But that being said, one thing that is cool about the Touch Bar is when you are viewing a video and it puts a “smeared” thumbnail onto the Touch Bar making it easy to visually seek. That’s really useful sometimes.
I really like my 2015 MBP, but outside the dated hardware in comparison I still think the 2012 model was "the best". Yes, it was thicker and heavier - but I didn't have to worry about buying as much RAM as I thought I'd ever need at purchase time, or storage for that matter (because while OWC sold replacement SSD's for the rMBP they were the only vendor, why Apple didn't adopt M.2 when it was released is beyond me).
Hell, Dell managed to put SODIMM slots + standard M.2 in the XPS 15 and at it's thickest it's still thinner than the 2015 MBP. You can't even argue that Apple does things for the sake of size when the competition beats them on it while maintaining upgradability.
One day I hope Apple brings back a proper MBP, because at this point I don't buy their products for the hardware but because it's the only sane choice for a *NIX-based workstation that doesn't require I constantly mess with things or give up loads of software to use.
MacBook Pro is a piece of dog shit. Why would you pay $2000-3000 for a computer that has the performance of a $900 PC?
Even the brand new top of the line Mac book pros only have a AMD 555x gpu. That is completely unacceptable for the price. They get utterly and completely destroyed by cheaper PC's in virtually every benchmark.
