Posting from my MacBook Pro! It came 2 days early, but it made no difference to me because the migration of data from the old computer to the new computer was so screwed up (mostly
because it came early, which led to it pulling info from my MacBook Air via the cloud while I backed up the Air, causing it to get confused when I tried to use the Migration Assistant to put some of the same information on it, causing it to fill my storage with unaccessible data so that the new computer was
useless) that I didn't touch it until I could give it a whole day to fix the problem. I had to erase the whole thing and start over this morning. My morning was literally getting this computer up and running.
Things I love:
- Touch ID!!!!! I miss it on my phone.
- The Touch Bar. I don't know how much I'll use it, but I've used it for volume and brightness and spelling, and it taught me a feature for Netflix that I didn't know I had, which is..
- Picture in picture for streaming. I'm fairly certain I couldn't do this before, but I can keep up Netflix/Disney/Hulu while I'm searching AW. Makes those slow pages on AW much more bearable when I can watch the show without switching tabs (which I've always suspected stalls a page anyway)
- Battery life - 3 hours unplugged and I still have 80% battery left? Including pretty bright screen when I was watching Netflix. Hallelujah!
Things I'm uncertain about:
- The screen is soooooo big. Those extra 2 diagonal inches seem to make this screen so much taller than the old one. It's been a long time since I had a laptop this size
- I need a skin, and I haven't decided which I should get
Things I don't like:
- Setting it up was a nightmare, and the guy on the Apple Support chat was an idiot
(but the gal who helped me on the phone today was great)
- I had to get a new Scrivener version, and I hate all the changes I see in it
- My power cord is so short
