If (when?) Apple ships a Touch Bar-equipped Magic Keyboard, I’ll reconsider. Lastly, I knew that I would end up frustrated if I had the Touch Bar on my secondary machine, but not my main production computer. These new machines are pricey, and I could barely justify the $1499 for a secondary machine. In my bag, they are feel exactly the same, but this machine comes with a far better display and is far faster. The new design is 12% thinner and is 13% smaller in volume (and weighs the same) as the Air. This thing being smaller than a MacBook Air and having a Retina display is was what sold me. For something that I’m only going to ever use after carrying it out of the house, I wanted it to be thin and light.

If this computer was my only machine, I would have opted for a 15-inch with an i7. In shopping for a notebook, I wanted something that offered a balance of weight and power that I felt was acceptable.

I edit in Logic Pro X 2 which while a professional application, isn’t as resource intensive as one might think, if you have a little patience. Most of the time, that involves writing or admin work, most of which takes place with files on Dropbox or stored on Google Drive.

That’s often done via my regular USB interface, a larger USB interface or a portable recorder that saves files directly to a SD card. First, I travel a fair amount for work, and often that requires recording and producing podcasts on the road. This computer is in my life for two reasons. In Which I Defend My Choice Not to Buy the Touch Bar Model Even Though, as a Mac Nerd, That’s the One I Totally Should Have Bought Oh, and I got it in Space Gray because HOT DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD.
