Heralded by probably 30 minutes worth of exposition at the launch event, the Touchbar was supposed to be a killer new feature enabling programmers to take further control of user interaction. And the ability to use a USB-C dock means I now only plug in one cable when I get to work, one step closer to my holy grail of no cables.īut from a usability and egronomic standpoint, it is terrible for everyday use. And I love the USB-C charging because I can pick either side of the laptop to charge. In particular the touch to unlock is a very welcome new feature. To be sure, it is an incredibly fast machine. If it has a shiny Apple logo on it, I’ve probably bought one. My desktops and laptops are all Apple, I use AppleTVs exclusively for streaming, I carry iPhones and iPads. I’ve been using Apple equipment exclusively since 2007. My first laptop was a Powerbook 5300cs, purchased secondhand at the Auburn University Surplus Auction.
