Still unrepairable and unupgradable (unlike previous MBP non-Retina), foisting ultimate, overpriced Apple control over a previously much more flexible product. Also, the touchbar and new keyboard aren't very practical.

When there is a Retina model with RAM DIMMs, changable SSDs and superior keyboard, I'd consider looking at MBPs again.

Battery too. The hilarious thing is that they could do all of that and probably only add a few mm thickness. Check out the Dell XPS or Thinkpad X1 Carbon lines.

Also hilarious to me is how thick the dongles are, and how the power brick is the same (other than now needing an expensive proprietary Apple USB-C USB 2.0 higher-than-spec power delivery cable which is sold separately from the actual brick and an extension cable which is also now sold separately).
