We're helping amazing restaurants manage this incredibly difficult crisis. We've built and are quickly scaling a marketplace for Fine Dining at Home experiences so foodies can get their favorite restaurant experiences at home. For restaurants, we're bringing large orders to help them through this tough and unique period. We're growing rapidly and now adding a restaurant every week.

-Personally, I quite like the feel of the new MBP keyboard, even compared to the 2015 MBP. If you want longer travel distance, get a mechanical keyboard and plop it on top of your laptop. I'm also convinced I can type faster with chiclet style keyboards (I tend to bottom out the keys).
-The trackpad, while large, is actually quite intelligent about detecting accidental presses, and in my memory has never activated unintentionally. I've noticed on my Thinkpad (tiny, tiny trackpad) that accidental trackpad activation is hugely annoying (not sure if Windows deals with it but my Linux drivers definitely don't).
-The touchbar has been absolutely worthless and an annoyance at best. I remap escape to caps lock so I never have to deal with the touchbar.
-I suppose this is an older review, but the current MBPs do have a physical off button (which doubles as a fingerprint sensor).
-The latest 6 core 15 inch is beautiful and fast. I don't think twice about dropping it into my backpack because it's so light, and it's a joy to use day to day. As an iOS developer it's a godsend. I do wish the Mac Pro had a refresh, the iMac Pro seems to be a strong option though.
