You're paying a hefty premium for the Touch Bar
Which supports only a limited handful of Apple apps for now. The USB-C-only ports mean carrying a bag full of dongles. The lack of high-end graphics or huge RAM options in the 13-inch model may frustrate ph
Abstract: When you show someone Apple's new 13-in MacBook Pro -- the one with the virtual Touch Bar -- the first thing they'll want to do is play with the darn thing. They'll adjust the screen brightness or turn up the volume. Launch some apps to see the virtual bu...

Great battery life, first P3 color gamut Retina display in a Mac laptop
Keyboard is a step backward from old MacBook Pro keyboards, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports instead of four, Limited to 16GB RAM maximum, and graphics aren't upgradeable, From $2199
As solid as this entry-level MacBook Pro is compared to the aging MacBook Air I use day-in and day-out, pro users seeking a real MacBook Pro replacement will probably compare this model's specs and price against the Touch Bar versions and find them lackin...

App-aware Touch Bar is functional and cool, P3 color spectrum, Four USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports
Shallow key travel, No USB 3,0 ports, USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 isn't ubiquitous yet
