Everything but the battery ...

When I bought this laptop, Sierra sucked the batter life out of it -- no more than 2 hours from full charge. Since then Apple has released updates that greatly improve the battery life, probably more like 6 hours from full charge which is acceptable though not close to advertised. That said, being a programmer, this is my go-to work computer & I do a lot of compiling so maybe that's the reason why? Excepting the battery life, the computer is a worthwhile upgrade from my prior MacBook Pro Retina 2012. Nothing spectacular; somewhat faster overall, and I do love the increased screen real-estate. The higher pixel density alone was worth the extra $ for my uses of this laptop! My primary complaint now is that I'm still getting used to the new keyboard, and still frequently hit multiple keys when I wouldn't in the prior laptop since the keys had a little more space between them. Small issue, but between that and autocorrect I find I have to review my writing with a keen eye, which takes additional time compared to the prior laptop.
