Uncertainty of Touch

I am not sure how touch bar works. Which apps support the touch bar apart from Apple apps. How good is the fingerprint scanner? Do I really need it and Where is the power button?

Power Button

I definitely need power button. Even though MacOS is pretty stable there is always the scope of error, I often force shutdown when my MacBook freezes. That is when power button useful. I cannot have the same flexibility with touch bar.

Fingerprint Scanner

Touch ID on Mac hurray, security would improve a lot. But, I am unsure about its workings. I have been using Moto E4 Plus for a month now. its fingerprint scanner way more responsive than my iPhone 6’s Touch ID.

Pricing

In India Apple products are pretty costly a MacBook Pro 15 Inch without touch bar cost me 2007 dollars, with touch bar it would start from 2800 dollars.

At the same time in the US, touch bar version starts from 2,399 dollars.

I don’t want to pay 800 Dollars just for the sake of it is new and has a fancy touch bar. Even though there are hardware improvements, the MacBook Pro 15 Inch 2015 is powerful enough to get the job done.

If you are looking for a laptop for video editing, then MacBook Pro 15 Inch 2017 is worth a try.

Apart from above points it lacks USB port, MagSafe and Glowing logo, All this led to buying MacBook Pro 15 Inch 2015 and retain the missing features.
