What sort of frustrates me most about this isn't that I hate the touchbar, or that I'll have to buy it, but that it's hard to find a system with competitive specs that costs as much or less.
I want a system with an octo-core i9, 32GBs of RAM, a metal body, and a large multi-touch trackpad. As much as I hate to say it, if you want a high-end laptop, Apple still has the market. I found some Dells that are close spec wise but not all the way there, or systems which are as thick as a deck of magic cards... They're (apple) are gonna get my $4k whether I like it or not.
