I'll add my +1 here, too. I'm hoping to get the 13-inch MBP with touch bar. I agree with David's comments re the importance of blind users figuring out how to stay current, and also with his statement about how well Apple has demonstrated its commitment to keeping technology accessible. Not saying there won't be some hiccups at the beginning, but I'm confident that the blind users won't be left out of touchbar access. And, I also have to say that I'm genuinely intrigued by the touch bar concept. Looking forward to seeing first-hand how it works.
I currently have a 2013 11-inch MBA. I'll upgrade from 8 to 16GB of ram, and get the fastest I7 processor. (I don't upgrade every year, so want my new Mac to stay viable for as long as possible.) Haven't yet decided how much storage I want.
