I just got my new Macbook Pro 15" a few days ago. Keyboard will take some time getting used to, but I'm still able to average 130 WPM on 10fastfingers.com.

The trackpad is probably going to take the longest for me to adapt to. Not the palm rejection, that works fine for me. Rather the tactile feedback of it is so different from my 2012 Macbook Pro. It's very shallow and I feel like it should be used more like a touchscreen click (single tap to left click) rather than placing my finger on it and pressing into it, as the shallowness is weird to me. I have it on medium-depth click right.

Battery life isn't too concerning to me since I'm mostly plugged in, but I will test it this weekend when I'm on the road and hope it's at least 6 hours.

Also, why are all media outlets reporting on what Consumer Reports has to say? Why is Consumer Reports regarded so highly? Media outlets don't report on what CNET or ArsTechnica have to say about the new MacBook Pro. It reminds me of media outlets reporting on what the BBB.org has to say.
