The latest MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is designed to provide contextual suggestions depending on what app a user is using. Apparently, Apple's new device is proving to be too good, as the North Carolina law students were notified to disable much of MacBook Pro's Touch Bar functionality.

The Board of Law Examiners of the State of North Carolina rolled out a notice to North Carolina law students with Apple's new MacBook Pro Touch Bar model to disable much of the machine's functionality to be able to use it on the upcoming 2017 Bar Examination. The Touch Bar of the MacBook Pro needs to be set to Expanded Control Strip, wherein the feature displays options without allowing it to show app-specific content, according to 9 To 5 Mac.

The staff member on the North Carolina Board of Law Examiners, Brian Szontagh, stated through an email that students who are planning to take the Bar exam are required to disable the Touch Bar feature for the reason that it can compromise Examination integrity and security. The State Government Office's precaution is pointing out to security concerns regarding cheating.

Nonetheless, pertaining to bar examinations, there are other states who are also coming down hard on the latest MacBook Pro's Touch Bar. For instance, California will not allow applicants to bring a laptop to the upcoming February 2017 Bar Examination.

In spite of that, the Touch Bar on Apple's latest MacBook Pro is so configurable that its users can get games, even if the games are not playable in any practical sense. Removing the feature can make a MacBook Pro more difficult to use, which will force owners to click through menus in order to attain a common task, Apple Insider reported.

That being the case, to disable the Touch Bar feature, the user must first open the System Preferences and double-click Keyboard. From there, open the drop-down menu (Touch Bar Shows) and then click Expanded Control Strip.
