I have lots of questions. on the 2015, when you press option+shift+volume it adjusts it in smaller increments, is that still possible on the 2016?
is there any touch bar integration in google chrome?
I cant think of any more questions right now, but i am sure i wil
EDIT: can you screen shot the about this mac screens?

Wow! they didn't have to make the trackpad that big. Its a very odd design choice when you compare the spacing between the keys.
Infact a small separation between the touch bar and keyboard would have helped in making sure people do not accidentally press the bar when hitting the keys closest to it.

I asked around few days ago, but nobody answered, so I'll ask you: could you find some time to run the RAM benchmark from http://www.memtest86.com? I'd like to know whether the low RAM Geekbenchmark scores of these new machines are a Geekbench bug or whether there is indeed something fishy with that LPDDR3.
Shutdown the 2016 completely. Power up, is the keyboard light on or off at the login screen. What's on the touchbar?
No, you have to use a the slider bar.

I'm also curious if the brightness is noticeable. I'm on a new maxed out 15" 2016 and I'm pretty underwhelmed with the brightness. It doesn't really even feel bright enough until it reaches 75%.
You can still adjust incrementally. Just touch the speaker icon on each side of the slider bar.

Blackmagic is not a good tool to test these latest SSDs as it's not designed to test anything over 2Gbps.
Courtesy of Apple going with the cheaper Skylake without Iris Pro, the Haswell generations had a L4 edram cache that helped the cpu deal with slower memory. The problem is more acute with skylake as Intel optimized it for DDR4 and it's now being choked with DDR3 so Apple could make it thinner and reduce battery capacity by 20%.Here is a CPU comparison.
My new one lost
Wouldn't matter for write speeds neither of them are maxing at 2k.
Surprised new SSD did not hit 2k write.
[doublepost=1479318522][/doublepost]Speaker on Late-16 are a drastic improvement. However still laptop speakers.
Don't think that is the case with 2.9's as mine is showing Iris Pro 530.

Looks like you have the silver? Is it little more silver/lighter in it's color compared to the 2015? The 2015 looks little more grayish on your pictures.
