For those of you mentioning the esc key, I suggest mapping capslock to esc, I've been doing that for years now (both Linux and Mac) and it's awesome. Except when you're using someone else's computer and constantly turn capslock on and off... Edit: You can do this natively since Mojave(?) in the keyboard settings without having to resort to something like Karabiner.
Unless that’s where you’ve already remapped ctrl.
Still no LTE modem?
I feel like LTE modems in laptops are pointless since virtually every smartphone is capable of creating private hotspot to share LTE connection.

Maybe because they started out so low, and there was a long way to go with improvements.
Would it materially harm a company with a trillion dollar market cap to offer a version of this without the touchbar (thus yielding a lower price), so people can afford to upgrade the soldered memory and NVMe drive? Would it also harm them to make a version that didn't have soldered memory/NVMe drive? Ultimately, this is why I switched to a Dell Latitude. Being user hostile to basic memory/disk replacement doesn't fl…

The display alone is ~1.3cm wider (and ~0.7cm higher), so there was a small reduction in bezel sizes, allowing the screen to grow more than the rest of the hardware.

And it's never true (or hasn't been for awhile at least). It's clear they're engineering for thinness above all else, usability be damned. I'm typing on a 2014-era Macbook Pro right now and I doubt any new scissor keys are gonna feel better than this. All of the newer Macbook Pros I've typed on have been terrible.
"I would buy a dell xps but only if it had a touchbar"
things no one ever said.
