I don't think their prices were terrible. In line with their new releases, I thought. I just don't see why Apple doesn't make a touch screen MacBook Pro?!

No need for that silly touch bar really if you have a whole screen to use. Or combine both but why does Apple not do a touch screen? Literally EVERY other computer maker has at least 1 model that's touchable but Apple.

Federighi added that it's awkward and uncomfortable to sit at a desk and continuously reach forward to touch a computer screen. It's not like an iPad or iPhone that you hold in your hands and use in a "very relaxed position."

"We've really focused on building the best track pads we can, something where it feels [like] your posture's relaxed, it's a comfortable machine to use," he said. "And, of course, over the years we've experimented with all the technology, but we found it just wasn't good. ... We're not all that interested in building one."

honestly can't see the touch bar being useful among everyday tasks tbh. my first impression is meh, feels gimmicky and seems like a swing and miss.

will reserve final judgment until i play around with one first though. certainly doesn't make me want to go out and buy one.
