Under the hood, the 15-inch model is powered by a quad-core Intel i7 processor, 2,133Mhz RAM and Radeon (Polaris) graphics, which is 2.3 times faster than before and can hold up to 4GB of video memory. Apple also says the panel is just as thin as the one on the 12-inch MacBook. The new MacBook Pro's screen is 67 percent brighter, offers 67 percent higher contrast and features 25 percent more colors than the last generation. Apple has added Touch Bar support to most of its apps - heck, it's even in Terminal. Try doing that with your old function and hardware keys.
And, in a neat touch, you can do so just by dragging new options from the settings window down from your screen, and into the Touch Bar itself. You'll also be able to customize the Touch Bar for individual apps.
If you come across an online store in Safari that supports it, you just need to hold down your finger to pay for your order. The Touch ID button is located all the way at the right of the Touch Bar, and it works just like it does on iOS. And if you need the traditional function keys, you just need to hold down the function key, which is still at the bottom left corner of the keyboard. Plenty of Apple fans were annoyed by Apple's removal of the physical escape key, so it's nice to see the functionality is still around in some form. Apple has also released an API to developers that will allow them to support the Touch Bar in their own apps. And in Mail, you've got buttons for creating a new message, replying, deleting and - wait for it - an escape key. Perhaps most useful for texting addicts, there's a slew of commonly used emojis when using the Messages app. In Safari, it shows you a list of your bookmarks. While we've been hearing about a potential OLED strip for months now, the Touch Bar actually looks pretty compelling now that Apple has had the chance to fully explain it.
