Dont care what anyone thinks... I think the TouchBar looks Cool AF
I hate my keyboard now.
'Microsoft has a touchscreen though....' - yeah but its Microsoft...
EDIT: seems my 'yeah but its MS' has touched a nerve with some of you.... its my personal opinion ✌️

@bentossell yeah but it's Microsoft seems like the such an awful statement to base purchases on. MS is killing it right now and Apple is stagnating IMO.

@mildrenben killing it with outdated I/O: no USB-C on a $3k computer, outdated graphics cards, etc.
The concept is nice, but I don't need it, I can't draw anyway.

@mburns87 if you bought it less than 30 days ago, you should be able to return it. Apple has a very liberal return policy, so you can return even used items

@bentossell Looks to me like amongst the most dysfunctional things ever seen. It's a gimmick I would expect from a gaming keyboard.
I'm faster with my shortcuts and mouse than I would ever be with that battery absorbing gimmick bar.

@bentossell very bold innovation! Love to see how users will adapt to it and create new user experience.

>yeah but its Microsoft...
Pretty ignorant statement to make. Apple put an OLED screen on a MacBook with 3 year old hardware specifications and they're revolutionaries? I remember buying a Chinese no-name branded keyboard on eBay years ago that had a screen on it. This isn't a new thing.
Apple are good at industrial design, but their software has taken many steps back and the internal hardware which is non-upgradable (thanks soldering). A nugget of gold on the outside and outdated laptop on the inside. At least Microsoft moved to i7's which are awesome for video editing and multi-tasking.
Remind me again the maximum amount of memory a MBP can be configured with again in comparison to the Surface Book?

@bentossell "Yeah but it's Microsoft" is the kind of blind fanboy-ism that's given Apple little motivation to innovate.

@759nelson exactly, everybody just bought on that pretty video, what a cheap mentality. Functionality wise, I don't want my screen to be a full touch screen, it's already has too many fingertips. I'd better buy an iPad Pro and use it as a drawing tablet. And Windows... f no.

@bentossell I agree, when do you think we will see a Magic Keyboard for sale with a TouchBar?

@wuss this is pretty awesome but don't see it for sale. Failed? I do wish apple made a separate keyboard. I don't think MBP is crazy cool I'm sure the engineering and power consumption was tricky. I'm not buying one though. But if I had more discretionary money and no kids I would.

@wuss @bentossell aaaand the razer blade comes equipped with way more power in a similar form-factor.
Though, it does not come with an Apple industrial design and an inferior OS. You do not fit in occupying a table at starbucks. :D

@twalkerp Sounds weird, but it's actually so old it's been phased out of their product lineup.
