The screen, the speakers, the silent operation even with a dGPU is why I bought it. After a while I preferred the butterfly keyboard, and the trackpad doesn't have any issues with rejecting my palms. I guess a lot of people bought it without having a proper use for it or felt the price was too steep. Buyers remorse? Not really. As much as I love the old days, I'm not falling for the good old days/nostalgia that hit you as soon as you start to get grey and old.
I may say that the touch bar is still on parole, but I prefer it to the function keys. I only hit it accidentally whenever I use it in bed, you know, it is challenging because of the position. The palm rejection may bother somebody, but I've owned both the 13" and the 15" and none of them has given me any problems. I have hands like Donald Trump, so maybe I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and ordered the silver model, since I'm nostalgic in the color section.
The touch bar didn't integrate me as well as the iPhone X did. It took me about an hour or two to prefer the X from the 7. But whenever I use a keyboard without a touch bar, I start looking for it to adjust stuff. I love changing songs and fast forward in Spotify without having to open the application. I don't have to change the layout of my work. The weight and foot print is the icing of the cake, it doesn't do much, but it is better, like you know, it makes it a little lighter, but you know, it is still a 15" laptop.
USB C is starting to catch on, and I am already on the other side. I only use an adapter for my DVD burner, which is as legacy as it gets. I charge my Nintendo Switch with my MacBook Pro charger. I've bought a USB C to lightning cable so I can fast charge my iPhone. I only need to bring a single charger in my bag, and it charges fast.
I feel the iPhone X is getting so good, you may not need to buy another laptop. We are starting to see that laptops are becoming rather stale, and they are having a hard time cooling the extra power that comes from adding more cores to the CPU and more power to the GPUs into the small chassis. I mostly use the iPhone X for most of my stuff, but do the heavy stuff on my Windows 10 Coffee Lake machine. I may plan everything on the iPhone, then I do the plan on my desktop. The screen on the X is so clear and the resolution on it is starting to make me think of reading a book on paper as a step down. My MacBook Pro 2016 may be the last time I buy a laptop as the X is the first fully fledged computer that fits in the pocket of a sports jacket. If I need power, I would rather opt for a desktop, but there are no modular computers from Apple that are in sync with the bleeding of the industry. For school work or business I also prefer using pen and paper, or something like Evernote, Bear on iOS. The iPad is dead, except for kids who know how to navigate in Netflix etc, especially when the iPhone X Plus gets released.
