Another consequence is that – if you are using your equipment for about 5 years – you have to buy the full packet at the beginning. This only does not only mean that you have to pay the irrational Apple prices. Neither SSD nor RAM can be replaced or upgraded: You are stuck with the pre-configuration by Apple.I must admit that I am a Touchpad fanboy and do not use a computer mouse anymore. * The Touchpad is bigger and far better to use than the old one. But it is of limited use if you tend to use your MacBook closed with an external display. * Since macOS os still missing a keyboard shortcut for screen lock the Touch Bar is quite useful because you can define your own key for that purpose. But the sensor makes a somehow shaky impression. Starting a screen lock when leaving the desk for short is so comfortable now. * The fingerprint sensor ist definitively a plus. * The display is by far better than the old one. There is no comparison to the old SATA SSD in my old MacBook. But the MacBook is a lot faster that in the past because the 1 TB SSD is lightning fast. I am very happy with this one, even if I would like to have more than 16 GB of memory. In summary, I am very happy with my new working device, but Apple could have avoided some annoyances.
Here I will list pros and cons and why I am really waiting for a docking station. Last month my old MacBook Pro 15″ 2011 was replaced by a brand new MacBook Pro 2016.
