    This was THE most educational video about the touchbar I've seen. Everyone is shelling out snap judgements about it without talking about power-user features. If I can customize this thing this early in its life cycle, I'm super happy.

      @lyllies1130 3 года назад +2

      yes, exactly, this touch bar is amazing. Honestly I think other companies are really upgrading their products and keeping their prices low, so people think that by bashing a product to get it to reduce price, but apple won´t care and people will still buy apple. I love it.

    1:10 I like that you can adjust brightness and volume in "one fell swoop." I've seen dozens of review videos and some reviewers did not know this-- some, of which, even labeling it as a con for needing a two-step process to adjusting these settings.

      I am terribly late, but tbh it looks like you have to do that with 2 steps. If the slider appeared under your finger instead of the middle it would be much much easier to notice.

    I was told to hate it when it first came along in 2016, being mocked as the "emoji bar". I now use it a lot for the macOS screen recorder for education video making on which the bar displays the duration & stop button while giving me the add-ons for Preview, the program being recorded. Moreover, I enjoy using the word-correction function & suggested emojis with the apps-specific functionality. Tons of people here on RUclips swallow what others spit.

    I love some of your tricks. I have a 2018 Macbook Pro and the Esc function to the left of the Esc key on the touchbar doesn't always work once the touchbar goes to sleep. That is, when the touchbar goes to sleep, I can sometimes tap on the very end of the touch bar to get the esc key to work. Sometimes it doesn't. I have tried this watching videos on full screen. Sometimes that esc feature (when touchbar is in sleep mode) would work to get out of full screen mode, sometimes it won't. Are you experiencing this? Do you know how to fix this?

    Other than the pricing of the models with a Touchbar, the Touchbar itself is freaking amazing. I got one with a touchbar, but I only spent a grand for a 256gb model so yes, It is worth it at that price. Definitely not worth 1500 though.

    I bought a MacBook Pro 2016 model few days ago. I simply love it. It is easy to use. Especially the terminal(shell) allows you to do so many things, that they take so much time to do in Windows. For example to produce in my web app an SSL key for https requests,in windows you have to download openSSL and pray to make it work. In MAC it is a matter of minutes. At some point I want to get deep into iOS development,but at the moment i am really busy with Android and Node js Development.

    Thanks for this helpful video. I just got a new Mac Book Pro 2017 and it's slightly disorienting. The touch bar somehow switched to a different option with the slider feature for brightening or dimming the screen. I cannot figure out how to return to that mode. Secondly, is there a way to make the touchpad less sensitive as it makes the cursor jumps all over the screen. I have to use an external keyboard with bluetooth to avoid it skipping all over the screen. I'd appreciate your tips.
