I initially thought this works only with specific apps, but the truth is that as you can use the strip to access additional functions on anything you are doing on the Mac right from frame by frame search on Final Cut Pro to just multi-tab browsing on Safari. This is a strip of multi-touch sensitive display, that replaces the functions keys above the keyboard. However, the one thing that sets the new MacBook Pro apart from any other computing device in the market is the Touch Bar with TouchID. A comparison of the old MacBook Air on top, which is bigger than the new MacBook Pro. While this new feature is a convenience, households with multiple MacBooks will no longer be able to share chargers like before. The USB Type-C cable will plug into any of these ports to charge the Mac, transfer data or power a 4K monitor with video output. So there is no time spent on figuring out where to plug the charger. But there is no dedicated charging port like earlier Macs. Now, the MacBook Pro has four Thunderbolt 3 ports, all of which can help charge the device and transfer data. The other radical change is the charging port. On top, the older MacBook Air, and below the new MacBook Pro. It ushers in some radical design changes. Given that the MacBook Pro is a clamshell design, the decision to go with a Touch Bar makes sense, but it will be interesting to see if Apple sticks with this philosophy going forward as 2-in-1 devices gain in popularity.The 2016 MacBook Pro is no regular upgrade. That functionality is reserved for the iPad and iPad Pro. For whatever reason, the company simply doesn't want you to reach out and touch the display. Overall, Apple has gotten the closest it has ever been to adding a touch screen without adding a touch screen. You can also opt for a 13-inch MacBook Pro sans Touch Bar for $1,499 that has a slower Core i5 CPU. If I had to pick one model to have as my own, it would be the $1,799 13-inch MacBook Pro. Intel hasn't yet made the jump to 7th gen for quad core on laptops, so the lack of Kaby Lake on the 15-inch MacBook Pro is understandable. I do wish Apple had included a 7th generation Kaby Lake CPU on the 13-inch model. The 13-inch model goes with a 6th-generation Core i5 processor and integrated Iris graphics, but the 15-inch model is for power users, packing AMD Radeon graphics along with a 6th-gen, quad-core Core i7 CPU. The new MacBook Pros offer a host of other improvements, including brighter displays with wider color gamuts and more power. I don't use a dedicated camera much, but when I do I'd prefer not to schlepp a dongle. When it comes to ports, I can probably live without full-size USB ports in favor of four Thunderbolt 3 ports, but I will miss having the SD Card slot. Apple says that this 2nd generation butterfly mechanism offers better tactile feedback, but I didn't notice a huge difference. So how about the keyboard? As someone who has been using the butterfly layout on the 12-inch MacBook, the flat layout isn't jarring to me, but it will be to those who are used to more travel from a traditional keyboard. It still feels like a real button when you press down, even though it's not. The Force Touch trackpads are positively huge, almost comically so on the 15-incher. What does vibrate is the mammoth touchpad on each of these MacBook Pros, which is twice as large as before. It's too bad the Taptic Engine doesn't support this sliver of innovation. The one thing I don't like about the Touch Bar is that it doesn't offer haptic feedback.
