Apple kills the (s/non-Touch Bar//) MacBook-Pro.
There is nothing "Pro" about a touch bar, even for fields outside of software. Apparently Ive's departure means Apple is not returning to function-over-form.
- dpkonofa 7y agoWholeheartedly disagree. I use the Touch Bar religiously for media production including scrubbing through audio/video and adjusting dials/filters/tones and I've remapped it to include my most used functions in things like VSCode and even iTerm. I get that it's not for everyone but to generalize and say that it's not "Pro" is delusional.
- mrweasel 7y agoThe biggest proof that the touch bar isn’t a pro feature is the fact that you can’t buy an Apple keyboard with a touch bar. I don’t know about the US, but Danish workplace regulations require an “external” keyboard. You’re not allowed to work all day on a laptop keyboard. Similarly you also need a height adjustable screen. Using your laptop as a laptop is suppose to be a exception. So if you can’t sit directly in front of your laptop and touch bar 99% of the time you can’t actually use it for work.
