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.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.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..)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..
