SOMETHING UNDER NEW MACBOOK PRO KEYBOARD PRO
You also get four Thunderbolt 3 ports on the 13-inch and 15-inch models (only two on the lower-end 13-inch MacBook Pro with Function Keys, but we’re discussing the Touch Bar models here). Apple says it just used slightly different materials for a different feel under your fingers. My guess is that it’s augmenting the physical sensation of pressing a key with a little bit of haptic feedback-I’ll let you know if I can get Apple to comment.
They don’t seem to travel physically further, but it’s possible Apple did increase the travel distance slightly. The new MacBook Pro models have a low-travel keyboard similar to the 12-inch MacBook, but Apple says it uses a second-generation butterfly mechanism to give the keys a better feel. Mail seems to be guessing based on context, such as the sender and content of the message, and I can’t wait to see how well it does with the volume of email I get every day. When you’re looking at a list of messages in your Inbox, you’ll see a button on the Touch Bar that says “Move to Vacations” or the name of another folder the app thinks is suitable. The other killer Touch Bar feature might be predictive suggestions in Mail. Happily, pulling up the scrolling emoji menu in Messages and choosing an emoji from the Touch Bar is a million times faster than pressing Command-Control-Space and using the Characters menu, like I have to do on my MacBook Air today. I had to consciously slow down to be able to see the predictions and select them from the Touch Bar, so it was faster to just type the entire word with my fingers. However, when I opened a new Mail message and started typing, the QuickType suggestions shown in the Touch Bar lagged behind my fingers. I used it for scrolling through a full-screen album in Photos, as well as for scrubbing through the timeline in Final Cut Pro. The options are similar to what you see when customizing the toolbar in your Finder windows.īut the coolest part of the Touch Bar is how quickly it changes as you switch apps.

Just pick View > Customize Touch Bar from the Finder menu, and you get a full suite of buttons you can drag right down to the Touch Bar. I love how you can customize the Touch Bar’s default controls. This would come in handy in some apps, like djay Pro, but since the bar isn’t really tall enough for common multi-finger gestures like pinch-to-zoom, I was content to poke at it one finger at a time. The Touch Bar supports multi-touch, in case you need to tap or slide on more than one control at once.
The Touch Bar changes based on what you’re doing, including predictive controls in some apps.
