Looks nice, can't justify upgrading from my 2018 though just yet unless I'd be able to sell mine for at least £1,000 (15", 2.6GHz 6 core, 16GB, 512GB, 560x)

Can't be sure

I had a play with one of these at the Lakeside shop yesterday. I was very impressed, it's a lovely laptop and one thing that jumped out at me straight away was the Touch Bar - Depending on the software you have running, it offered very appropriate options. I've never used a laptop with a Touch Bar before but I can see the appeal.

The Touch Bar for the most part has been fantastic for me and I've never really understood why there are so many complaints about it.

Surely it's down to developers to actually make better use of it? Although having haptic touch would be a nice addition.
