My 8 year old MacBook Pro is on the way out. What is the CR current model? Air? MacBook? Pro, with or without touch at? Touchnar seems kind of gimmicky.

I never use the Touch Bar for a damn thing other than adjusting the volume and screen brightness, but it's been a really good laptop (MBPro).

no usb port. had to buy a $70 dongle.

no HDMI port to connect to an external monitor. see dongle.

apparently connecting a monitor and peripherals through the dongle kills the motherboard. i had to take it in twice already to apple store.

they crammed everything into a smaller body, leading to inferior heat dissipation than the older model. so the fan kicks in every time i try to do something, and often when i'm not doing anything at all. it is very loud.

the keyboard jams easily.

i wish i could trade it for the 2015 macbook pro.

Agree with all of this. There's also no disc drive, which I find obnoxious. The USB-C ports are by far the worst part though. So many times I go to plug in a printer or something and then I have to find the damn connector.

Also do NOT pop the keys off to clean them. You have to have the whole top case replaced. The keys are not removable anymore.

Lots do, but it is clearly on the way out. Basically like floppy drives were on laptops in the early 2000s.

If you don't want to wait for the 2018 models, then get a 2016 MBP for $1k less than the 2017. Very minor differences.
