yeah I've heard all the problems you mentioned but mine somehow came through without any of that stuff.

I used to get this thing where the screen would turn off because apparently the thunderbolt 3 circuits are interfering/being interefered by the wifi. But even this has stopped, maybe through a bios update?

Despite the sort of scary quality stories, when you get a good one, it's really great. The touch screen I was surprised actually comes into play, especially for demoing apps, or in tight quarters like a coach plane seat, where you can't even get to the touchpad.
