Today’s Apple event unveiled the new MacBook Pro — thinner, lighter and sporting a bunch of futuristic innovations.
First, the laptop sports an OLED touch strip — called the Touch Bar — which sits atop the keyboard. It will offer contextual controls, depending on your action. The bar also has a Touch ID button, located on its far right.
