This (16" MBP) is sort of a bittersweet computer for me.
I still miss my Touch Bar. I had around 60 custom buttons spread across over a dozen apps, now I'm back to trying to remember is it's F1 or F2 that is mapped to ctrl-option-command-D in Safari. The Touch Bar MacBook was like a computer from the future; the M1Pro is a souped-up computer from the past.
I have never used an HDMI port or an SD card with a laptop. On the previous generation of Macbook, people who needed HDMI and a card reader had to carry around HDMI and a card reader; now I, a person who doesn't need those things, has to lose a port and carry them around. What sense does that make?
The M1Pro MBP is a great machine and I'm glad to own it, but I'll never feel affectionate about it like i did with that 2016 MBP. (Glad to have a good keyboard again, though.)
