The Touch Bar is available on MacBook Pro models from 2016 or later, excluding the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

With 13- or 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, the Escape (Esc) button appears on the left side of the Touch Bar.

For example, in Mail, you can use Touch Bar for composing, replying, archiving, marking as junk, and flagging messages.

Hold the Command key while you press Touch ID (power button) three times to toggle VoiceOver, which reads aloud Touch Bar commands.

Like other MacBook Pros in the lineup, the 16-inch model has a brightness of 500 nits, and supports the P3 color gamut.

Most users are used to Apple setting the tone and direction, and expecting users to just go with the flow.

But it finally got to a breaking point, and users started to loudly complain about the things they didnt like about the MacBook Pro.

With the prior 15-inch model, there was always a Yeah, but With the 16-inch MacBook Pro that replaces it, there are fewer chances for users to say, Yeah, but.

The new laptop is a great combination of usability and performance, and it fixes the biggest issues with its predecessor.

The butterfly-mechanism keyboard, introduced in the MacBook Pro in 2016, is goneand with it, Apple hopes, are the scores of user complaints and problems.

Its not hard to find users who hated the butterfly keyboard; I did, and the internet is filled with articles and forum posts deriding it.

IDG.

It uses a scissor mechanism and it feels a lot different than the previous keyboard, with keys that have a bit more give and travel (1 mm versus 0.5 mm).

The butterfly keyboard, despite its soft-sounding name, feels hard and uncomfortable, and typing on it is like pounding your fingers against rocks.

Its softer on the fingers, and if you had sore fingers after a long typing session on the butterfly keyboard (like me), you wont have that experience on the Magic Keyboard.

The butterfly keyboard has a distinct, deep-sounding hammer to it that fills a room.

Its noisy. The new scissor keyboard is a lot quieter, and its lighter, crisper tapping sound easily drifts into the background as you work.

Except this time, Apple changed it so that the Escape key is no longer integrated in the Touch Bar and is its own button.

The Touch ID button, on the opposite side of the Touch Bar, is also its own button.

The arrow keys on the lower right of the keyboard have reverted back to the inverted-T layout, with the right and left arrow keys now half-height buttons.

These are welcome changes and bring back a good amount of intuitiveness.

All that being said about the keyboardtheyre all changes for the betterI cant help but think about the absurdity of it all.

The butterfly keyboard was introduced because the company became obsessed with making its laptops thinner and thinner, but it got to a point where usability was sacrificed to achieve those goals.

And the decisions about the Escape and arrow keys were seemingly made without studying the user base.

The keyboard is the most vital of input devices, so how could these changes not be carefully considered in the first place Apple has been making metal Mac laptops for over 18 years; maybe this was a case of taking the keyboard for granted.

Apple said that with this laptop, the company studied the human factors involved to determine what makes a good keyboard.

So the company deserves kudos for doing the research to get it right, and for finally fixing these issues.

But the butterfly keyboard is still on all the other Mac laptops, and the company has not officially said if the scissor keyboard will be implemented in the 13-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.

Big, great-looking display Until 2012, Apple made a 17-inch MacBook Pro, and I was a big fan of it.

Sure, it was heavy and its size made it a little unwieldy, but I loved the big screen, which predated Apples Retina display and had a native 1920x1200 resolution.

Nowadays, there isnt a 17-inch laptop in the lineup, but Retina displays offer higher resolutions, and you can use a utility like Display Menu to go beyond the maximum scaled resolution offered in the Displays system preference and get more screen space.

Its bigger, but it doesnt move the footprint into the 17-inch realm, where it creates an overall laptop size thats too big for a lot of folks.

With a native 3072x1920 resolution, the 16-inch MacBook Pros Retina display has smaller bezels than the 15-inch modelthe top bezel is 25 percent smaller, and the side bezels are 34 percent smaller.
