You're still paying an Apple premium
This is a pricey 13-inch device

Limited number of ports
Limited port selection

Especially at first
Extremely limited repairability and upgradeability
Intel's CPU speed increases in the last few years have been discouraging

Connectivity issues with 2.4 GHz WLAN and USB-C devices
Clattering fan on our test model
Only 3 ports
Very expensive – especially the upgrades
Poor webcam
But reduced bandwidth for the ports on the right side
Neither USB-A nor HDMI-out
2.4 GHz WLAN issues with attached USB-C device
Pricey
Given the components

Shorter battery life than previous-gen model

The world is not quite ready for USBC
And you're not either. The Touch Bar needs more customization
And soon. Laptops aren't supposed to be this expensive
Are they?
You're paying a hefty premium for the Touch Bar
Which supports only a limited handful of Apple apps for now. The USB-C-only ports mean carrying a bag full of dongles. The lack of high-end graphics or huge RAM options in the 13-inch model may frustrate ph
It is so
So very expensive. The transition from many ports to one is scary. No one's going to look good in this webcam
Expensive with the Touch Bar
Easy to accidentally hit the Touch Bar instead of the Delete key
