    Also. After a few weeks with the "touchbar", it is worse than the function keys it replaced in every respect. worst apple purchase ever

      you have to write a TouchBar app that mimics the broken keys on the keyboard.

      I have not used the new MacBook Pro but I get this sense that Apple is trying to do w/ hardware that software does so much better.

      The basic interaction model for PCs is you watch the screen while using the keyboard blindly. Touchbar doesn't work blindly.

      , choosing form over function is bound to fail. A shame that Apple is lately being driven by marketing rather than engineering.

        Perhaps we are waiting for the killer apps. It's too early to tell. But I am sure they did a lot of user research.

        hoping this is a short lived "feature" that gets fixed next year along with ++GBs of RAM.
