The Retina display is sharp and beautiful, with a black bezel around the edge that's wider than competing Windows models, which makes it feel just a tad dated – but I'm honestly splitting hairs given how premium the rest of this machine feels. The Touch ID sensor on the power button, however, is still a hugely welcome inclusion for quick logins and security checks, though I wish Apple would implement facial recognition already to keep up with its Windows-based competitors. It's not a deal breaker by any means, and perhaps I'm just a fuddy duddy who refuses to get with the times, but it's not for me. I often find the shortcuts I actually want are buried behind an extra tap-to-expand gesture, because the rest of the bar is wasting space on something useless. But in practice, it just feels a little ham-fisted. It's actually very satisfying, and hopefully the lack of moving parts means one less point of failure.Īll that said, I'm still not in love with the touch bar – in theory, it's a great idea, giving you different shortcuts based on the context of what you're doing. The trackpad is large, smooth, and still one of the most accurate you'll find on the market – though instead of a physical button, you get Apple's Force Touch haptic feedback that simulates a click feeling. ![]() Still, I found it comfortable enough for casual browsing and longer writing sessions alike. It has significantly deeper key travel than the previous version, but not quite as deep as the MacBooks of old. The keyboard is, thankfully, the new-old "Magic" keyboard designed to replace Apple's disastrous butterfly design. The unibody aluminum finish is clean and understated, with a black Apple logo on the lid and a thin, lightweight chassis you can easily fit in a backpack.
