Love having a faster macbook, but the touch bar has done nothing but annoy me and make everything less pleasant. Zero redeeming features. Absolute garbage of the highest order. Also the trackpad is too big. The 2012-2015 design really was the best.

Which gen are you on? The touchbar 15" or the latest 16" touchbar+ESC model?

Shame, I was hoping the ESC key might be enough to salvage it. What's irredeemable about the touchbar tho? Genuinely curious. Seemed at worst a bit meh to me.

given I mostly dock it it was a welcome upgrade (mid 2012 slow by comparison!) except when I retreat to the sofa away from my keyboard and mouse...

Yeah I am mostly ~docked, external 60% kb + mouse, early 2012 15". Would be aiming for max ram + gfx. Istr the top CPU didn't seem worth the cost over 2nd tier. I'm holding out for the inevitable 14" mbp tho. Had a 2015 13" from prev job and was lovely, esp for travel/cafe jaunts

Suffered 2 butterfly key MBPs. The return to physical ESC and decent keyboard is a win IMHO. The touchbar is useless. To be fair no issues ( yet ) with the latest bfly MBP. Wintel with Linux support is a serious contender though if they can build a decent trackpad

Tbh I'd love to ditch macos and use Linux but then I think... Can I really be arsed to reboot 3 times and sacrifice a goat every time I un/plug a monitor or switch audio source?

Same problem here... My kingdom for affordable non-shit eInk displays, until then it's hard to break an OSX habit when all other UX is worse!
