It's plain to see from reading the comments on here that Apple's graded on a curve, and they've gotten so good at what they do now that people are completely out of touch with reality. Bearing that in mind I think Touch Bar is amazing. Laptops still occupy a very important computing space - having a dedicated physical keyboard -, but this also makes it really hard to make them better. Which is why I was all the more impressed to see how how delicately it augments that laptop-experience I mentioned in such a subtle and nuanced way, yet decidedly introducing a new, patient dimension of interactivity. No, this isn't splashy or in your face "innovation", that would be too easy, but for those of us who have the imagination and can reserve judgement for a moment, this is going to dramatically improve the computing experience. And it's not about this being a "pro" product, hopefully Touch Bar will make it to their whole lineup down the road, it's about them being focused and disciplined in introducing something that people will actually find long term value in.
