Need the MacBook Pro touch OLED bar instead of the function keys?

Earlier this week the network to sources of preparing a MacBook Pro with more delicate body, fast iron, Siri is available. According to rumors, Apple will present the device at WWDC 2016 with a very unusual "trick" - OLED-panel above the keyboard, which will replace the row of function keys.

The original idea of ​​Mac and, in theory, offers several interesting features. We are all accustomed to using shortcuts on the OSX, but in the future may become more accessible and easier to use. It is not known yet if OLED improve the navigation bar by the system, but guarantees a few weeks use conversion MacBook Pro keyboard.

Apple plans to convene the panel until it has not been confirmed, however, there are several hypotheses about its use in applications.

For example, if you use Safari commands like opening a new tab or a screenshot of the screen, the buttons can be displayed on the OLED display panel and appear only when working in the browser. Of course, now for such purposes, the CMD button is used. But click on the function key much easier than using a key combination.

Another possible application is available on iTunes. Instead of clicking the right mouse button and search for the "Add to" Next ", you can use the тачбар OLED screen, which will significantly shorten the time.

Many use keyboard shortcuts in programs such as Final Cut Pro or Pro Logic. The panel above the keyboard can analyze user activity and displays shortcuts. Therefore, eliminating the need to study key combinations to perform some action.

Of course, in тачбаре should always be the similar to the brightness adjustment buttons, so that the space for specific applications very little.

Another advantage is that Apple is not necessary to change the portable hardware component, the addition of new functions. For example, Siri does not need a key to the physical keyboard, you can take on the touch panel.

The same goes for Apple Pay. The system detects that the website where the user is allowed Apple Pay, and displays on the panel of the corresponding key. Click the button automatically populates the information for payment and delivery of the goods. This feature is especially useful if you have Touch ID.

On the other hand, these changes should be treated with some caution, since the complete replacement of the function keys OLED implies that the bar should always work properly and show exactly what is needed at this time.

Also no time to neglect the battery. The new MacBook is thinner and lighter, so the working time and under threat. Another screen, though small, will not increase the computer a couple of hours without recharging.

Perhaps, after trying once тачбар, you will not want to return to the buttons. And you as think?
