so it's been about one month since Apple unleashed the touch bar on the world and it's been met with I think to say mixed reviews is an understatement there's a very clear line in the sand that's been drawn and you were most likely on one side or the other you can watch our full review but essentially it boiled down to this though the too long didn't watch version was mmm I missed the ports touch bars nice battery life's bad graphics performance is good better than it's been before but not overwhelming I just summed up the whole video for you if you want but I use the computer for a month there have been software updates ten 12.2 has been out and then by the time you watch this who knows what OS is going to be out but that's the most recent version of Sierra as of this filming and it did a couple different things that I want to talk about first it got rid of the time remaining in the status bar so you don't necessarily know in the time went frame how much longer you gonna have and I get that maybe wasn't all that accurate in the first place but I did use it as a measuring stick for about how I can use a computer or if I had to go you know search for an outlet in an hour two hours why up will remove that only only Apple knows perhaps it was a sweet battery life issues under table perhaps there's a grander plan I don't know I find it annoying and I really didn't like it one thing I do like about the new s it did improve my super crappy battery life I had to go to the Genius Bar to see if I had a bad computer battery life was so bad three to four hours kind of max on it it has been improved which is nice to say with the new OS update getting about an hour more which is no small feat I mean cooking at four hours an extra hours twenty five percent increase in battery life so that's nice presumably it's gonna get better and better and better a software update to come so battery life again not thumbs up but not like like this anymore it's kind of like like that so I thought it was only fair if I made a video saying how bad battery life was updated to say it has been improved it's not classy eating money stretch the imagination but better the touch bar is interesting I still don't think it's necessary but it does add a lot more than I thought I wished I would work across more apps it's kind of inconsistent for when it shows up even across a book or apps or what it's going to show but it is helpful you know in calendar you get all the dates up there I did have the touch bar freeze but one time Omni that was kind of fun but it did bring itself back on its own it doesn't make or break the computer for me at all it's kind of a nice addition but if you're thinking that I want to get a computer just for the touch bar it's probably not worth it even editing in Final Cut I found myself just for reverting back to using a mouse and keyboard as opposed to touch bar but if you do want to use it for things like that it's great for scrolling and scrubbing it my favorite is to scrub scrub through YouTube videos that I'm watching or to scrub even through a timeline Final Cut if I remember that's there I don't have a closed kind of in a docking situation at my office still my opinion USBC is the same as it was I wish there was some legacy options Apple is trying to push it towards future i/o so it is what it is you know when you're buying this computer it's only gonna have USB C port so I guess you can't really complain about it if you know that going in so you didn't know be aware a lot of negativity surrounding the keyboard leads to launch for me - keyboards been great I had no keyboard issues at all in fact I'd even think that much about the keyboard I would have liked to see an improved performance on some third-party apps by no that's not really in Apple's control things like the Adobe suite could be better and should be better hopefully Adobe will bring that so if you edit a lot in Premiere you might want to wait on this until Adobe goes ahead and updates it so things have changed a little bit since our initial review a month ago I'm still using the computer and I still want to learn it and see if things improve and experience gets better but we're worse than a lot of you guys debating whether or not to buy one of these this is a big investment anything else you guys want to know about the computer let us know down below if you want to see us continue to do update videos about the MacBook Pro the best way to do last video a thumbs up till next time John Rangers and TechnoBuffalo now you've been updated on the MacBook Pro time to relax and take your favorite shows with you and perhaps some of your favorite programming is from the Science Channel maybe you're into how the universe works or like me you like to know how it's made you can take it with you anywhere you want a link to it down below but just science channel go app
