Too bad I just bought a new retina macbook pro eight days ago. Kind of glad I didn't get the force touch trackpad though. Sounded kind of weird to me.
Dude you would be a fool not to return it assuming you bought the 13" pro. The spec bump alone is worth it. Also just like anything it takes some adjustment but force touch is the future for apple. Every mac will have it and I have a feeling iPad and iPhone too.

Stop bitching. The 15" wasn't upgraded because Intel didn't release any suitable CPUs.

For ****s sake, Shiller, you rotund shirt tucker. You had one job. ONE GOD DAMNED JOB. Put a retina display in the existing MacBook Airs. That's all you had to do. Instead, you managed to do everything else but that.
Why do I want a Macbook with weird port connectivity that is somehow underpowered vs my current 2013 Macbook Air? Why do I want do give myself a CPU and speed bump on my current Macbook Air when every other device you put out at that size has retina? What the hell is your problem?! Aaaaaaarrrggghhhhh
