Good take as always. I wish he had compared its value to the 14" MBP though. That $1800 for 16/512 is only $300 less than the 14" MBP with the same plus all the Pro extras like Pro chip, miniLED etc.
1" is 1" but the 14" just seems like the better value at that point. I suppose that's probably what they're hoping we'll think.
