The MacBook Pro MacBook Pro 2016 Touch Bar review: a touchy.
NEW MACBOOK PRO 2016 TOUCH BAR MAC
The 15-inch MacBook Pro is now 15.5mm thin, down from 18mm thickness of the existing model. The Mac is back - after four long years, Apple has finally updated its MacBook Pro line, turning it into a lean, mean Touch Bar machine. It is also 23 percent smaller in volume and half-a-pound lighter than the existing model at 3 pounds (1.36kg). Apple's developer guidelines for the Touch Bar are very limited, and might prevent developers from tapping into numerous possibilities for the feature. The new 13 inch MacBook Pro is 14.9mm thin, 17 thinner from the existing 13-inch MacBook Pro. If it is any consolation, the Touch Bar might not be getting that many creative uses anyway, which should help reduce the wear and tear on the new feature. However, the cost of such a plan ranges from $249 to $349, and perhaps even more for the new models. It’s actually very easy to customize the Touch Bar, and I’m glad it is.
Repairing the Touch Bar will likely come with a higher price tag than that, Gonzalez said.Ĭustomers purchasing the MacBook Pro can opt to sign up for an AppleCare+ warranty, as that will cover accidental damage. So, if you have the brand new MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar, and you want to customize the Touch Bar tools, here is how you can do it: Customizing Touch Bar. According to a Mac Support Store employee Raymond Gonzalez, the cost of repair for the MacBook Pro keyboard is already at $199 including labor costs. If you are interested in acquiring one of the new MacBook Pro models with the Touch Bar, keep in mind the damage that can happen on the OLED strip.
NEW MACBOOK PRO 2016 TOUCH BAR UPGRADE
The Touch Bar and the T1 chip, which powers the Touch ID are paired, and if the Touch Bar breaks, both will need to be replaced. After seeing in iFixit’s teardown that the base model of the new 2016 MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar had a removable PCIe SSD storage unit, many were excited at the possibility of aftermarket upgrade parts across the new MacBook Pro lineup. From the first day I bought the MacBook it locks and reboots itself, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) 3.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 6 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 and Intel Iris Graphics 550 1536 MB. While long overlooked, the MacBook line is the brightest spot for Apple’s 2016 rollouts. Question: Q: new macbook pro 2016 touch bar - problem locking and rebooting. In addition to the vulnerability of cracking, the Touch Bar is also said by Goldberg to be within the splash zone of any drinks that would be spilled, though the issues with that will depend on how well the Touch Bar is sealed.Īnother possible way for the new MacBook Pro to get damaged is the embedded Touch ID sensor, also a new feature for the laptop line. The new MacBook Pro would come in 13- and 15-inch variations and arrive in the fourth quarter of 2016. The glass of the Touch Bar is susceptible to cracking, which is a problem that was previously not an issue on keyboards. According to iFixit lead teardown engineer Andrew Goldberg, in an email to Mashable, adding a Retina display to the MacBook Pro's keyboard adds to the fragility of the laptop.
