Cons: Still dual core, no USB-A, no magsafe.
Would buy, and I'm a Lenovo fanboy. I just love the Airs.
Does anyone know if you can install Linux onto the newer Macs with the T2 chip? Or is it locked to osX^H^H^HmacOS?
And still the butterfly mechanism. And apparently, specks of dust also affect the latest iteration:

I have been waiting for a good replacement for my MacBook Pro 2016. But this is not it. Still too few ports, still the risk of sticky keys. And given that the base model with 128GB is $1199, after the upgrade to 256GB and adding the Europe tax, it's not going to be that much more affordable than the MacBook Pro (assuming that they update the MBP Escape as well).
It's great that they have finally updated the Mac Mini though! The pricing is a bit steeper than previous models, but they stuck with the nice old unassuming design, no wild experiments. Just the same old box with updated innards. Well done.
The linked repository covers Linux support for more all MacBook Pro's (and some parts of the 12" MacBook) released since 2016, even though Linux support for the 2018 MacBook Pro is very dire.
