So instead of being able to touch type and keep looking at the screen or looking at the screen and touching what I want, I now have to keep looking down at the thin touch strip on the keyboard to work? That seems very inefficient

Pretty sure the screen and the top of the keyboard area on a laptop are well within the field of vision for everyone who doesn't have eyes on the sides of their head.  You'll even be fine with those 5" thick bifocals.

Maybe, but without any tactile feedback or set positioning of the icons I can see this being difficult to work with.  I use a work laptop every day and you still have look down at the top of the keyboard to s that area. Have to wait and see. 

I'm pretty sure exactly 3 people in the world can use their function keys without looking.
I'm going to make a huge bet that you currently have to bird dog that F6 too.

Having customizable area for shortcuts and other secondary function keys saves precious screen real estate, more space for content.  Huge for pro apps.  

Bummed there wasn't an external keyboard to go along with it, but suspect that will come as more apps get hip to the touchbar.

Touchbar looks awesome for pro apps.  Can't wait for audio apps to get on board.  Hot configurable touch controls will be amazing for mixing, fader and expression controls.

Crossing my fingers for a new external keyboard with the touchbar.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Do you REALLY think that anyone believes your paid shilling anymore? Fuck off, kid.

Will you kill yourself when he’s elected or will you wait for inauguration day?

I will recommend the termination of your account if you continue to post threatening, hateful garbage. 

Also, you are uninformed. A series of business that bear Trump's name are not run or owned by him and have nothing to do with his person failures in business. 

The rest of your 4chan level screed is too ridiculous to read.

You deliberately invited this by mixing election nonsense into a Steve Jobs editorial.   Further because of your idiotic defense of Hillary, now there's idiotic defense of Trump.  You two deserve each other, because this pathetic political team signaling and interjecting irrelevant political content into totally unrelated areas, is the territory of fools.
