The new MacBook Pro is here and you want to see
The new MacBook Pro is now in the market. It is available for pre-order. This MacBook Pro feels and looks so awesome that for a moment it is hard to believe in such perfection. It has a matte finish which means that the touch bar and every other thing feels more physical. The design distractingly bright but rather blends in. MacBook has always been labeled tacky by users so this is great work on the body image. It seems that the touch bar and brightness are right on point with the backlit keyboard. There is no haptic feedback but other than that the device seems perfect.
It also has filter application for Photos and email sorting in main mail. There is also an option of rearranging buttons which are to be found in the options on the menu tab. The neat thing about this is that dragging buttons down from the screen to the Touch Bar has instantaneous movement of the keys on second screen as well.
MacBook Pro touch ID can be used to switch it on or off
The touch ID works well. MacBook Pro automatically powers on when users open it. Holding the touch ID will turn the computer off. The Touch Bar has the tap and hold feature so now, users can hold a bunch of buttons to get functions faster. The keyboard is identical to the butterfly keyboard found in the small Mac. A beautiful retina display is the basics of a good gadget and MacBook Pro has not let us down. The trackpad is massive and the palm-rejection software on point. Since, our palms are going to be resting on the thing all the time this is very useful.
