I totally agree with your statements.

I'd also add that the battery life is pretty woeful compared to a 13"MBA, I can't get more than 2 hours meaningful work done on mine.

The touchbar at time is slow and stutters.

The touch pad is too big and very often gets spurious inputs when typing. It acts like a "good PC touch pad", not the perfection of only a generation ago.

Power management with external monitors is also hit and miss. The device will often not wake in closed lid mode with presses to the keyboard.

The inclusion of Touch ID is great but whatever changes done under ttt hood has turned searching Keychain manager into molasses.

All in all this is the worst Mac laptop I've ever purchased, and I've purchased 1-2 per year since 2000. The only thing keeping me on the hardware is OS X.

I have to say M$'s new hardware looks very tempting.
