MacBook Pro Diary: Real-life use reveals a few minor niggles, but I absolutely love it

<p>Having got my <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/28/macbook-pro-diary-keynote-impressions/" target="_blank">maxed-out[/url] 15-inch 2016 <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/macbook-pro/" target="_blank">MacBook Pro[/url] set up <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/29/macbook-pro-diary-dongles-migration/" target="_blank">yesterday[/url], I’ve now been using it for a total of around 12 hours – so I’m calling this one my first real-life usage impressions.</p>
<p>Impressions of the form factor will obviously vary depending on whether you’re coming from a pre-Retina machine – as I was – or a later one. The new machine is smaller, slimmer and sleeker either way, but the difference is of course much more dramatic from a pre-2012 model. And in my case, I’m also moving from a 17-inch machine to a 15-inch one.</p>
<p>For me, then, the form factor is in a completely different league. The base unit is much thinner, and the lid is almost unbelievably so. It’s also significantly lighter. I said before that I think I may be able to switch from two Macs to just one. This one feels portable enough that having a separate MacBook Air now feels like overkill …</p>
