Why fix something that isn’t broken?</text></comment>

If it weren&amp;#x27;t for the keyboard and the odd battery&amp;#x2F;performance issues with my late 2016MBP I&amp;#x27;d be happy with it. When I got it I thought it was too thin, but I got used to it and now the new 14&amp;quot; feels bulky. I loved mag safe, but it&amp;#x27;s not a must have. I love the 4 USB-C ports, I don&amp;#x27;t need any other connectors, and I actually enjoy the touch bar.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d have to test the keyboard though, the new pro keyboard is awesome so maybe I don&amp;#x27;t want to miss out on that.</text></comment>
