I'm sure I don't matter to Apple anymore, but the touchbar is the reason I haven't upgraded my laptop yet.
I enjoy having an Apple laptop to complement my Windows and Linux desktops, but if the touchpad doesn't go away by the time I decide not to wait any longer, I'll probably grab something else. Maybe a Chromebook with a replacement OS, maybe an Ubuntu or Fedora laptop. Probably not Windows as it's mainly for games and hobby game development for me. But whatever it is, it won't have a touchbar.
- dawnerd 9y agoYou know they sell a version without touchbar right?
- simcop2387 9y agoOnly in the smaller lower performance bracket models. They do not make a 15 inch macbook pro without a touchbar. EDIT: In fact I didn't realize that it's significantly different spec wise to the 13 inch with touch bar. Only going to a 2.5Ghz base clock speed on the non-touch bar. And this is with only intel integrated graphics and a dual core cpu only, compared to the 15 inch models. This can be a big deal for anyone who wants to do even basic video editing or many other content creation type activities. https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/ https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

- dawnerd 9y agoHuh, I just assumed it was the same specs just without touchbar. That blows.

- mediocrejoker 9y agoWith half the ports and a lower-powered CPU though, and not at all if you want 15"
