I'm using the new MPB at work (they give them out for free so why not), and I can't say that I really have any problems with it. Granted, they keyboard is...weird (such tight, low action on the keys) but not horrible, the touchpad is HUGE, but I generally don't have a problem with this as I don't use a mouse. Lastly, the touchbar is (as others have mentioned) just completely unecessary. Why Apple? Do you care about web surfers that much more than devs? (Answer: yes). Granted, the physical specs of the machine aren't crazy (quad core, 16G RAM, 256G SSD, Intel Core i7), pretty standard for a upper-shelf laptop.
So I recently bought a HIDevolution Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501VI 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop. It has Windows (which makes me sad), but I cannot WAIT to get this baby out of the box. Intel Core i7, 1TB SSD, 24G RAM, Nvidia 1070 (swappable), quad core It's a tiny little beast fit for gaming, dev work, and running a node for smart contract work.
I honestly feel like I've broken the mental spell that Apple had over my mind. We all know their computers are 150% the cost, for 70% the performance - but for some reason I kept buying Mac laptops. No more though! I'm free, and I refuse to go back to burning my money for a cool laptop. I'm done. Finite.
