MacBook Pro Diary: I’m one week in, and it turns out my first impressions were wrong

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/macbook-pro-diary.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&strip=all&w=1600&h=1000)</div>
<p>The main reason I’ve adopted this <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/macbook-pro-diary/" target="_blank">Diary format[/url] for reviewing Apple kit is that first impressions can be misleading. The iPad, for example, launched to very mixed reviews. I won’t embarrass my fellow tech writers by naming names, but the Guardian did a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2010/jan/28/apple-ipad-bashed-bloggers-web" target="_blank">round-up[/url] at the time.</p>
<p>Then there’s my own Apple Watch <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-watch-diary/" target="_blank">experience[/url]. Going from clear <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2015/04/24/apple-watch-diary-first-impressions/" target="_blank">smartwatch skeptic[/url] – wondering why anyone would want one – to a <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2015/07/31/apple-watch-diary-three-months/" target="_blank">complete convert[/url]. With the new <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/macbook-pro/" target="_blank">MacBook Pro[/url], my impressions from the keynote were that I would like it <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/28/macbook-pro-diary-keynote-impressions/" target="_blank">but not love it[/url].</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It looks like a very nice machine. I’m fully expecting to enjoy the smaller form factor and the new features – even if I will really miss the larger screen – but I’m not expecting to love it. It doesn’t excite me the way I feel that a new generation ought to after four years of more-or-less stagnation.</span></p>

<p>It turns out I was wrong …</p>
