Thank Rene!

What were you favorite uses for the Touch Bar?

Did you see or use any apps that used TouchID for authentication?

Do you know why the Escape key indented from the left? Is that indent a design choice or because the Touch Bar starts that far in?

How realistic is using the Touch Bar in typical day to day computing, i.e., office work, email, web browsing, educational research, etc.?

How's the key movement on the keyboard? Do you think it will get the Andy Ihnatko seal of approval?

I LOVED how timeline editing, and photo and browser thumbnails showed up.

No apps with Touch ID yet, alas.

That's where the Touch Bar starts. Balances Touch ID on the other side.

How customized can the touch bar be? By this I mean are there limitations to the amount of buttons that can be added to it. Apps like Photoshop would be nice not to be limited. Another question, are all the keyboard shortcuts still available? Thanks!

It's "limited" by physical size, but it can scroll, so devs can do pretty much anything they can dream up and AppKit supports.

Keyboard shortcuts all still there, unless devs remove them, which they won't since everyone else still needs them :)
