The Touch ID seems like a good idea in particular for entering your password to get by admin screens without having to continually type passwords.
(The 2017 MacBook Pro with TouchBar ID was no different).
What’s on the TouchBar is also controllable on the screen so at this point in time it’s not going to change my life – as others have said it looks like a work in progress, so should be interesting when the 2018 MacBook Pro models are released and what changes have been applied to the 2nd generation TouchBar.
For non-Apple apps that will be up to the software developers to enable functionality on the Touch Bar, so time will tell on the adoption rate of the new interface. The Apple apps make use of the Touch Bar in particular in photo and video usage in Photos and Final Cut Pro so if you are a heavy user of those then it might make sense. I have tested and used the Touch Bar and Touch ID in the Apple store on the new MacBook Pro models, they are a nice touch and certainly a novelty of the latest release but I found it’s just not for me, I thought long and hard about this and just thought after a while it would lose it’s appeal for me. I am sure the 15″ is equally as impressive. The size is very compact and convenient and the new 13″ model screen is something else it really is a pleasure to work with, the retina sharpness and clarity is top notch with a resolution of 2560×1600, anyway it definitely looks bigger than it is. Size wise I have used all variants before 13″, 15″ and 17″ over the years, but since I used a laptop less I am happy using the 13″ model as when I am going to use it for an extended period of time for work I attach a 2nd larger monitor to it anyway. 32-Bit architecture has been and will continue to be dropped due to the limitations it provides.Since I am going to be doing more travel in the near future I needed something that is just as capable as my desktop computer and the latest MacBook Pro lineup from 2016 was going to be from what I picked which I also considered the Touch Bar versions as well as the still available 2015 MacBook Pro Models with the regular ports.
