I actually like the keyboard a lot. Somehow I am able to type much faster than I was before. I guess it's the really short key travel. It is a bit noisier, but that's not really an issue for me. The speed of pretty much everything is great - I haven't found anything processor or drive performance related to complain about yet. I have had to turn wifi off and on a couple of times for unknown reasons. Could just be my Google Fiber Network Box - I find it's a bit weird sometimes. Also enjoy the Touch Bar and use it frequently. Love the way it feels and responds. Customizing it has been fun. I have the screen capture button added to it and really like that convenience. I did buy a few dongles and they work well. The Anker USB + Ethernet adapter is great. The Internet speed of this computer on ethernet and Google Fiber is pretty amazing.
And BTW nice video AI. Good summation and comparison. PS I bought my new MBP from Adorama with the AI discount. Thanks for that!
I freakin' love this keyboard from the first moment I touched it! I never had a lighted keyboard before either and it makes a huge difference. Coming from 13" to 15: screen is a huge luxury, and the retina is incredible. The touch bar is really cool, though, it's a little more fuzzy looking than I expected as far as resolution. How did you get the screen capture down into the touch bar? I use that feature all the time.
The trackpad is fantastic, force touch and haptic feedback are very useful and just adds to the overall pristine yet powerful build quality of the machine. Battery life appears to be very good. One gripe is that Apple was cheap to not include the power adaptor extension cable like my previous MacBook, I hate plugging the huge brick into the wall.
I don't have many external peripherals so the lack of ports is not an issue for me. I've done video editing in FCP before as a hobby and want to get back into that as I have all of this power that is going unused. I miss the startup chime and hope that Apple allows us to turn that feature back on in the future.
Overall, an A-.. but I'd lean more toward an A, so around a 95% is my final judgment. Well worth the expense.
Maybe the refurbs will be more reasonable, or I guess I'll see what 2018 brings. At least my current Mac still runs pretty well, once I put in an SSD.
It's easy to carry, does everything I need, and does it fast (thank you Kaby Lake).
Most highly recommended!
Additionally, it may also be beneficial to change the default from PNG to JPEG (or another file format).
It would be better for you, not making pre-assumptions.
Is there a "post" version?
