So a more apt "overall rating" would be 0-5 stars (and I hope others will start doing this):Body 5Keyboard 5 until the keys stick then 1Battery life 5 until it's not 5, then impossible to repair 1Fans 5 until you vacuum up enough dandruff and cat hair and can't clean it then 1Connectivity 5, unless you want to connect anything other than TB3, then 0Touch pad  5, until you start accidentally touching it while typing, then 0Build materials 5, until the super-slippery surfaces lead to dropping the thing on the floor, then 0I got mine with all the ram and SSD I could get, so it was absurdly expensive soCost/value 2Speed  5  seriously, it doesn't build up "byte plaque" like PCs do, requiring regular OS re-installEndemic marketing nagware  0  This is never appropriate, and Apple went way over the line with that stupid App store.again 0, I cannot even delete the "eye-TOONS app". Super User, change ownership, hell i can't get it out.New category: Force-ware. Being FORCED, or making it so freaking hard to remove or work-around designed-infeatures and apps.  Apple has gone to great lengths to build marketing (and your personal information leak) intotheir "brand".A hard zero, but I'm considering changing the new scale to -10 to 10.The touch bar, I personally like - a clever way to expand laptop functionality. However, if you're a developer who usesthings like "vi" for an editor, the escape key is no longer a key - so do NOT buy this laptop, McBoock, or whatever this thing is.Addendum, I somehow mis-keyed while typing this a total of 8 times, requiring me to key "back" to what I'm trying to do, apparently due to this enormous track pad.  PC laptops have the same problem, or worse, when the "palm rest" activates the track pad in random ways.Keyboard design's health impacts  0  That stays zero (or -10 in the future), because all manufacturers shouldcare that I have to have my hands repaired surgically periodically just to be able to use your keyboards.(this is actually true)My wacky conclusion:The  2018 15" McBawk Preux with touch bar and normal display (retina super-mega-plus LCD monitor) might still be better than my last Dell.At this point, it's like choosing between presidential candidates - which is the lesser evil?  That reality means that thealleged "Free Market" does not actually exist, and serves to reduce the quality of everything.Let's find ways to demand more for our money, and for our lives.
