Tonight, I have my new 2015 MacBook Pros undergoing Migration Assistant. I can’t tolerate the new MacBook Pro anymore. From the nonsensical Touchbar, to the oversized trackpad, to the garbage pail keyboard.
Got a tip for us?

Just got a new 16" MacBook pro loaded the other day. Very happy with it so far. The keyboard is way better for starters. The speakers are mind-blowing. The larger screen is great. The speed is nice. It hits a lot of marks. So far, best Apple laptop in a long time.
I sold my 2017 TouchBar MacBook Pro: thank the stars that the thing is out of my life.

Many, many of us agree. And agree strongly. I hope Apple releases sales figures for these 16" Pros, they have to be selling a lot of them.
Imagine the 16" Macbook Pro but $500 cheaper without the useless and annoying touchbar. That's what I expected in 2016 when Apple first released the follow up to the Retina Macbook Pro.
Apple is going backwards on their decisions and fans are overcoming with joy. Now get rid of the touchbar so we can have function keys again and knock $500 off the price. Also get rid of the oversized trackpad that forces you to type with your palm resting on it.
Where did you get the notion that the Touch Bar is an added $500? That's absurd.
I never understood why Apple went with such a ginormous trackpad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's just a little too big. As I type right now on my 16" more than half my palms are basically resting on the trackpad.
It is a little too big, but it is still likely the best trackpad in the business with the Surface line as a close second.
Agreed on both fronts. Look at threads I started lamenting the oversized trackpad and stupid, useless TouchBar.
The TouchBar is more useless and annoying than my ex-wife, and that is saying ALOT.

It’s not absurd dude.
