[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1925619, member: 110816"] I've had a few MBP's with the touchbar and I don't find it to be much better than the function keys. Zoom gives you a couple of buttons on there to mute and disconnect. But to do anything useful, you'll have to use the trackpad/mouse to be productive. Like the dynamic island on the new iPhones, the touchbar should likely have been an informational bar that changes with the app that's active. Now compare the level of use of the touchbar with Apple native apps like iMovie to what others are doing. You can use the touchbar to scrub nicely within those apps. This has nothing to do with comfort zones. The question is about utility. If it provides it, we keep it, if it doesn't, we lose it. [/QUOTE]
