How does it compare to a $500 Windows laptop with similar specs? I know the screen won't be as good. It won't be as light. It will be running Windows. FFS, I have about just about everything Apple makes in my house: I'm willing to pay a premium for Apple quality, security, etc. but they got the pricing on this wrong.
(iMac 27", Macbook Air 11", Macbook Pro (2), Watch (2) Time Capsule, iPhone 7 (2), iPhone 6+, iPhone 6s, iPad Mini, iPad Mini3, iPad2, iPad Air2 - perhaps I've forgotten something? Sold the old AppleTV a few weeks ago)
I really wish you could get this model without the Air class processor. I really want to get the best i7 processor I can get in a 13 inch size, but the touch bar doesn't appeal to me at all, nor does paying for it. :(
main problem vs the air is one less usb port, not the best experience for people upgrading to a pro which Jobs traditionally filled with IO possibilities. In that audio comparison on my end the 15" sounded fuller and more bass!
