Newest MacBook Pro is the first MacBook not recommended by Consumer Reports
I've had mine for a week now, and have been able to use it alongside my late-2014 rMBP, which has been a solid workhorse.  I'm starting to notice very subtle preferences for the 2017 model creeping in - after an hour of typing, for example, going back to the old keyboard feels really, really inefficient and antiquated, and my typing rate is lower than on the new rMBP.<p>I also really enjoy the Touchbar - it hasn't been too intrusive, and binding ESCAPE to Caps Lock has been an acceptable re-configuration for me as a vim user.<p>Speed: okay, it seems slightly faster than the old machine, but then the old machine is 95% full while new-rMBP is not even 5% full yet, so .. no indexing hassles.  (old-rMBP would often become unusable during Spotlight re-indexing..)<p>All in all, I'm happy with the upgrade - but with one huge big fat caveat: I didn't buy it.  My work did.  If it weren't for this fact, I'd be very reluctant to upgrade..
