Type More EfficientlyĪpple has integrated the predictive typing present on iOS to the Macbook Pro with the Touch Bar.

You can even pan through YouTube videos if you are watching with the Safari browser. Moving your finger across the scrubber will pan through the video or skip to a certain part of a song. When playing media, you’ll notice that there is a media timeline in the Touch Bar along with other media controls. Swiping your finger left or right to adjust volume and brightness is faster and much more intuitive than clicking and dragging with the mouse. Tapping either one of these will present a slider that is manipulated through touch. The Touch Bar features a brightness and volume icon. Tapping them will pause, play or skip tracks, without having to switch to the app first. When you listen to music on your Macbook Pro, you’ll notice that the standard music controls are residents of the Touchbar.

Fortunately, the Touch Bar renders this unnecessary. In order to skip to a particular track, you would have to stop what you were doing and switch to iTunes. Whether you love iTunes or have a fondess for another music player, there is one persistent problem affecting your music enjoyment. I think it’s safe to say that virtually everyone has used their laptop to listen to music.
