    Pros

    • Impeccable build quality, clean and simplistic design
    • Absurdly thin and light for a 15-inch laptop
    • Great input devices (keyboard, touchpad, Touch Bar)
    • Effective and silent cooling system
    • Nearly perfect display
    • No PWM across all brightness levels
    • Impressive battery life
    • 4x USB-C connectors with Thunderbolt support

    Cons

    • No upgradability
    • Quite pricey
    • The Touch Bar feels gimmicky at times (in terms of integration, not usability)
    • No conventional connectors like standard USB, HDMI, SD card reader, etc.
