Despite being flanked by many Mac users for not having built-in SD Card reader and coming with just 16GB memory, the new MBP outsold all the laptops including its predecessor in just five days. Though there is one MacBook Pro’s feature which has won enormous praise even from the hard-core critics – “Touch Bar.”
The OLED panel lets you interact with apps with convenience. It has made MBP more user-friendly than ever before. The best part is that you can customize Touch Bar as per your need.
Agreed, that right now there are not too many third-party apps that provide customization option of the multi-touch. However, it’s just a matter of a few months before we will have tons of options.
Let’s swim across to customize Touch Bar on your new MBP! (To use Touch Bar on any Mac, head over to this post.)
