So I started off in this 2016 rMBP adventure with a 2015 MacBook Retina.
I needed more than that so I bought a 2016 Retina MacBook Pro nTB and thought I was happy.
Of course I had to play with a TouchBar version and exchanged the nTB for the TB version.
Held on to it for a week and while the speed and 4 USB-C ports were nice, the Touch Bar was just meh.
Exchanged the TouchBar for the nTB today.
Lesson learned: Stick with what works. The Touch Bar is nice but not mature enough. I'll enjoy the nTB and wait for Men 2/3 of the TB.

This! nTB is the way to go. Wait until Gen 2/3 for the Touch Bar.

The touch bar is a gimmick. It's fun to use, but not efficient as I type without glancing down on the keyboard.
