Its been like a month and a half or more I have been using this as my main device as a uni student and so far its been unexpectedly great for 6 year old machine.
I mainly bought the Intel i7 one so that I could use bootcamp and play games on it on my share time, I didn't thought its gonna be that good but its unexpectedly been great so far, some older games like 2010 or later (bioshock remaster) I could play it in 1600p native and smooth (60fps) while the latest ones like farcry5 could play on 1200p 40fps.
Nonetheless I use macOS for uni stuff and windows for at home gaming (it needs to be plugged in otherwise on battery performs not good and drains in an hour and a half).
Touch Bar all right, as a gimmick "cool" other then that no use, some of the functions are good on Touch Bar like spell correct and running or making new tabs on safari but other then that no use at all.
Intel i7 2.3ghz heats up really fast but I don't mind, just don't try to hold it from the bottom by one hand :)
