Good but has its problems.
Always have loved Apple computers and I upgraded from a 2010 MacBook Pro to this latest version and can definitely see a difference in not only the speakers but the visuals and the fast response. I searched for a new laptop for quite a while and was between this version and the brand new one that came out. The amount of storage is very nice for a 1tb and the touch bar and display as well as performance speed are definitely an upgrade. However, the only thing I hate is the keys. The keyboard easily gets dust, dirt, and debris inside which makes it impossible to remove as well as my fingerprint residue (despite how much you clean your hands) show visibly on the keys. Because of this when you go to close the computer and open it back up it leaves smudges on the screen when you open it back up. The buttons get stuck from time to time from the debris getting trapped and its not easily removal with an air can. As well as this, the computer is much more sensitive to drops compared to my old MacBook Pro where I feel like you could drop that thing on concrete and it would barely damage the material. (would not recommend) but nothing that a case didn't solve. Overall, I'd give it a 4.0 out of 5 but would definitely recommend purchasing a case, dont eat around it, and clean frequently.

Thought I bought a 2020 but it was a 2019 i7
I loved my mid-2012 MacBook Pro but with all the new upgrades and technology, I haven't upgraded my computer from Sierra - I didn't want to lose some of the software compatibility but I definitely needed a new computer. I didn't want the 15" as it would be too big to schlep around - but I also wanted the i7 - it states on here that I bought an i5 but my computer is an i7. It was a late model 2019 which I didn't know when I bought it - thinking I was buying a 2020 model - that should have been stated to me but it wasn't - it appears the new 2020 does not come in an i7 processor and I did get a good deal on it with a number of discounts -- and I felt with all the graphics and music and editing I do, I needed an i7 - in fact, my older MacBook was an i7. So even though I raised concerns about not being told that this was a 2019 model - I spoke to the manager of the computer dept at Best Buy and he told me the butterfly keyboard on this model was better (even though they did away with it in the 2020 model) because the late-year 2019 had raised the keys and made it feel like a real keyboard (that was a concern of mine, that if it was him. he would choose the i7 over an i5 and other than the keyboard - there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the 2 years. Well, I decided to keep it for the i7 and am very happy with the performance of it so far. It's a bit upgrade from a 2012 but also an easy transition.

Love my MacBook pro.
Love my MacBook pro. The only issue I am having is in regards to memory. I wish I would have gotten one with more memory. Overall this computer is great. Light weight, great for travel.

Love This Computer
I love this computer. The keyboard is much easier to type on than my older Macbook Pro. I love the touch bar which is customizable to add the buttons that you frequently use. The fingerprint security is great to make online purchases fast and easy. I use this computer for work where I am frequently working with several very large files at the same time. It works fast, never lags. I also love that with iCloud, I can work on a document on both my laptop and my iPad and it saves and updates to the other device seamlessly. I'm so glad that I went with computer!
