It’s gargantuan and responsive heavily customisable and gives a real impression of moving parts, even though it’s a mere vibration feedback hitting your finger whenever you tap. What remains the same is the excellent trackpad. In Photos you can swipe through all your photos and in Music you can change tracks hardly stuff that’s going to revolutionise how you use a laptop.

I still haven’t been convinced of the Touch Bars’ merit. This makes somewhat of a difference, but I still hit the bar more times than I would like. The Touch Bar itself, which remains on all models, has also ever-so-slightly been moved further up to try and reduce the number of accidental touches. There’s a physical ESC key, the TouchID sensor is now separated from the Touch Bar and there’s an inverted T layout for the direction keys. There are a couple of other tweaks that sound small, but make a notable difference on a day-to-day basis. It really is a pleasure to type on and a massive improvement if you dislike the previous keyboard. This gives you more travel – Apple says roughly 1mm, which is 0.5mm more than before, which in turn creates a more responsive keyboard. What I have yet to suffer, rather luckily it seems, is anything getting stuck inside the keys causing the keyboard to break.įortunately, Apple has listened to complaints when designing the MacBook Pro 16-inch, and ditched butterfly mechanism completely and brought the scissor switches back. While the larger keys and comfortable layout were great, the lack of travel led to many more typos and accidental presses than I would have liked.
