But it’s not capable of getting through a journalist’s day on battery, let alone anyone who does anything more intensive than browse the internet, write in a basic text editor and edit the odd photo. Now that the computers are reaching normal users, the real reviews of Apple's new Touchbar Port-Free MacBooks are coming, and they are not good. There's nothing in this review that would make me want to spend thousands of Euro on this replacement for my current computer. Nice to see a reviewer confirm what I thought about the spacing of the USB3 ports, but the useless battery life is the real killer here. 3 stars seems overly generous, to be perfectly frank.
