My last main laptop was Macbook Pro 2010 15" Hi-resolution screen. It is still working great although its light-weight & long-lasting battery life then turn to be bulky-heavy and short-lifespan w/o power outlet now. That's why I need an on-the-go replacement. |

I was debating if I should get Surface thingy or not, but my experiment working on Windows had been failed miserably. So my choice would be getting a machine which I could install Linux with painless drivers or just get a Mac. Since Surface proved not to be that Linux-friendly, I decided to get a Mac. |

There was no other choice but to get newly MacBook although everyone boo'es about its weak performance. |

First day, damn. Keyboard tactile is weird. It feel like I'm typing on Surface (tad better) Touch Cover or something. That was how I really felt. Although it wasn't as bad as Touch Cover, it surely takes time to get yourself up to your normal typing speed. |

__ForceTouch TrackPad__ is awesome. I couldn't praise enough of how splendid it really is. No comparison. It's off the chart indeed. |

For __Retina screen,__ although this is not new thing, but it is NEW to me and it's surprisingly pleasing to look at. That pleasure ruins my used-to-be-great Dell 30" screen entirely. So far, when I work on my Hackintosh with either 23" or 30" Dell IPS monitor, I could not stop noticing that pixelated low-res text. I'll be damned if I have to toss them to the trash and get iMac with a comparable performance. |

If you think it's slow, then I would say that it's not true at all. Maybe I don't use anything much yet, but while coding, I need to run _PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Celery, Radis, Python, Browsers, and Sublime Text_ as minimum toolkit. I don't feel any sluggishness comparing to my much more powerful Hackintosh. Surely I don't run anything as much, but who would? |

It's not cheap, but if you could afford, then it's worth. |

Oh. 1-port to rule them all? I don't see any advantage of USB-C either. New cable, new adapter, ... I only wish this has a MagSafe-like connector since everything else I could go get via network painlessly anyway. |
