Is the Touch Bar worth the Price?
The cheapest variant of newest MacBook Pro is priced at $1,499 or less. However, this price doesn’t come with the Touch Bar.

On the other hand, the most upgraded version of the product comes in 15-inch version with the Touch Bar and runs $2,399.
While the newest feature is fascinating, would it that worthy to be a step up in the tech revolution or is it simply a pure work of “gimmick”?

Touch Bar Emoji, TouchID, Retina Display
There are numerous emoji that are featured in the Touch Bar. Now Apple features this to maximize its functionality and allow users to simply slide on the Touch Bar for the emoji to be used.
The TouchID will serve as the security gateway to the iPhone as stated in the report. “It's easy to program your finger -- any of your five digits will do -- through the dedicated button, located to the right of the Touch Bar. You can program up to three different fingerprints, catering to families who share one device.”
Aside from the Touch Bar and TouchID, the new MacBook Pro also comes with an incredibly crisp retina display. Its premium body is available in space gray and silver.
On the issue of ports removal, the company claims that the USB-C ports are the future. However, it somehow falls short from other consumers who are more familiar with the traditional ports.
“Overall, the latest version of the MacBook Pro is all about the Touch Bar. Is the novel concept reason enough to purchase the new MacBook Pro? No. But it's a sweet bonus to arguably the best performing laptop on the market.” said by CNNMoney.
