Stopped in the other day to check the new MBPs. They are beautiful, but I agree they have gone too far in the weight/beauty direction at the expense of practicality. I liked the touch bar, but typing on the keyboard felt like typing on a brick, despite its precision.

Sure, you can hook up a keyboard for day to day use, but that feels suboptimal from my perspective.

What is there beautiful about a poorly proportional hunk of aluminum with disfigured fugly touchpad?

I mean, back ages ago the Macbook was kinda surprising and nice. There wasn't many alubody laptops back then.

But now? They look goofy as hell with oversized keyboard, no keypad, featurelessness...

AND THEY DON'T EVEN COME IN BLACK
