Opening the lid, the gigantic force-touch trackpad looks like an overkill. You would have to invest in lots of dongles or buy a single dongle that has it all like this one. However, USB Type-C is extendable and it should work with any peripheral as long as you have the compatible adapter. Apart from regular USB Type-B ports that I miss, I rarely use HDMI and LAN and I don’t really miss the absence that much.

It’s rather ironic that I even have to use the Type-C-to-USB adapter packaged with my wife’s Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus to connect my iPhone 7 with my MacBook Pro. #DongleLife trended while people made fun of Apple’s decision to force users to get dongles for their existing peripherals. I did criticize this decision too and even told myself I wasn’t going for any of the newer models if If I was ever going to get a new MacBook Pro.

Apple decided to ditch the glowing Apple logo last year and many of us can’t figure out exactly why. What you have is the same Chrome Apple logo seen on the iPhone. It’s is also noted that the Apple logo no longer lights up on the MacBook Pro. Compared to what I’m used to, it’s pretty convenient to carry around and I don’t find it as a burden. The 15-inch MacBook Pro 2017 mode weighs exactly 1.83kg. As a matter of fact, the 15-inch 2017 model is a lot thinner and lighter than the 2011 model. Well, Apple changed the MacBook Pro design starting with the 2016 model to make it much slimmer. While unboxing this MacBook Pro, I did mention how very different it feels when compared to my older MBP.
