Quick take video review: Apple's 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is an exciting upgrade

I hadn't used Secure Notes yet because it's too much of a chore to input a password. Thanks for noting how the new MBP will make this convenience with Touch ID.

It's not professional grade.

Since when does the "Pro" portion of the MacBook Pro mean it's only for supposed Pros? Apple only uses this designation to separate it from the lower end MacBook. Is any laptop actually powerful enough for real professionals? People are making too many assumptions into how Apple labels a product. The only true Pro Apple product was/is the Mac Pro. Everything else is less than what a Pro would actually want in their equipment. The problem with my statement is there are not enough professionals to justify creating a separate line of computer products. Of course, speed freaks and geeks will buy the Pro line equipment just because but there aren't enough of those to justify the additional R&D and expense to build them. The old Mac Pros were affordable when compared to other computers but the new Mac Pro was lights out when it came out and had a price to match. I don't know how many Mac Pros were purchased but it doesn't appear there were enough to justify continuing development of that product line. Apple might surprise everyone and upgrade/replace the Mac Pro when Intel and Nvidia/AMD finally come out with something that justifies the upgrade but maybe they won't, pushing the MBP as the best way to provide professional tools to those who actually need them.

What the heck does that mean? "Professional" for whom? You probably do a fraction of the data processing I do...

Well you don't sound verry professional so it might be the perfect machine for you.
