Macbook Pro late 2016 - Good and Ugly

When the new MacBook Pro model was announced late October 2016, I was disappointed]. I searched for alternatives, and found none. So I ordered a high-end MBP. It felt wrong. So I cancelled it. I kept looking for alternatives. I found none. So I re-activated my order.

The Ugly

Go for it?

I’d consider Dell and Lenovo long and hard before buying. If you can live with sub-par screen, PWM, dumb pre-installed software, plus manufacturer and MS Windows non sense features that is.

If MS Windows is not your thing, and if you don’t want to go down the GNU/Linux road on a PC, and if you’re looking for a high end machine, then I’m afraid the MacBook Pro remains a strong choice.
