Apple has just introduced the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, its two flagship laptops that feature the spectacular M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. In addition to coming with completely refurbished hardware, say goodbye to an old acquaintance on the Pro models: the Touch Bar.
The Touch Bar says goodbye to the new MacBooks
Apple has said goodbye to the Touch Bar on its new Macs, but it’s for a good cause. Both models have a new keyboard, a renewed Magic Keyboard with additional row of keys and a touch that promises to be close to that of mechanical keyboards.
The new keyboard promises a touch similar to that of a mechanical keyboard, says goodbye to the Touch Bar and embraces both the function keys and shortcuts to Siri, Spotlight and more
In addition to this, the new keyboard has shortcuts for Spotlight, Siri, Dictation and Do not disturb mode, in addition to continue to include Touch ID to be able to authenticate safely. In fact, the Touch ID hardware has been improved, with a new touch ring that promises to be faster and more comfortable.
Thus, Apple says goodbye to a Touch Bar, an OLED screen that replaced the function keys and that could be customized to taste. With her, the buttons physically disappeared to make room for him, with the main advantage of customization by the user.
With the goodbye to the Touch Bar we embrace a new generation of keyboards for the Mac, which promises to be more “Pro” than ever, both in terms of features and providing users with a better typing experience.
