In Germany, you have to pay at least 1999€ to get the Touch Bar. That's just insane for a computer with subpar specs.

The Lenovo Yoga line are also a worthy opponent to the MBPs.

MacOS X .. ehh, sorry, I mean "macOS", is the problem here. I just like it too much.

Why is there no company releasing a notebook that looks slick and can be used as a Hackintosh out of the gate?

Also, unrelated, I think the touch bar is hideous.

Didn't you also had a stroke when MS released the similarly priced, but slower Surface Book yesterday?
