Apple's largest laptop adds Touch Bar support for serious design apps

2017-01-18
Appl no longer makes a 17 inch laptop so the new updated version of the 15-inch MacBook Pro is as big as you're gonna get for now the aluminum unibody designs for thinner and lighter than before and the keyboard has been shifted to a flatter design and the touchpad Apple calls it a trackpad has doubled in surface area now that point is especially important as it's one area where no PC maker can touch Apple no pun intended initially that touch bar control strip that sits above the keyboard was limited to supporting Apple apps built into Mac OS and a handful of third-party apps but that list is finally growing Spotify has added music playback transport controls with play pause search and track skip buttons while Photoshop has much deeper touch bar integration brushes for example allows you to select the size or a pasady of the brush on the touch bar and even use your finger to scrub through color options the big screen here feels even larger than it is because it goes nearly ange to edge thanks to a new slimmer bezel and the massive touchpad is one of the great laptop control surfaces of all time and the overall highly curated the stetic mentalism it just gets more impressive the larger a laptop body and screen goes but it's also a major investment that may only make sense if you're a serious design creative type who can justify the expense or if you have a generous employer willing to buy one for you
