Apple Unveils M2

Personally quite like the touchbar. It's not great, but I like it more than function keys. In particular, I like that when I'm screen recording, I can use the touchbar to stop the recording. It's a trivial little thing, but it's cool.

I'd be less annoyed by accidentally touching the touchbar all the time if it were positioned at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top of the keyboard.

Hey, Apple: why not just lose the touch bar and make the whole screen taller and touch sensitive instead, huh?

I'd be fine with the bottom of the screen being touch sensitive or something, specifically where it wouldn't align with the keyboard, but they can't even get their anti-glare coating to not erode permanently when you get some finder grease on it. Not optimistic that a touchscreen would be done very well on macbooks.

Same here and I can't remember accidentally touching it. Even if I did so did I with F-keys as well (F1 in AutoCad uuh - on regular keyboard as well).
