Touch screen or touch bar?

[lanakaryatna]

I choose Touch Screen because touch bar is not good

touch is good but can't see how better it is compared to FULL touch screen!!!

hmm.. a whole screen to play around with vs a narrow strip. seems like a no-brainer.

 

[ajcletus500]

screen for sure

A better question would probably be to ask whether fixed Fn keys or a Touch Bar is better.

This question is a bit like asking if I would drive a car or a poor imitation of a car.

Why would you buy 1/20th of a touchscreen when you could get a full touchscreen?

Exactly. Touch Bar is basically are more advanced FN keys that offer different functionality for different apps. Touch screen is a completely different thing.

different but not unrelated. it's Microsoft's and Apple's respective answer to how to better interact with your machine. and in that regard, i prefer Microsoft's answer.

Honestly, if (and only if) more applications supported a touchbar then I'd choose it over a touchscreen. By that I mean shortcuts which are actually useful and not a typing assist which actually slows you down rather than speeding you up.

I think touchbar consume more power

Touchbar is pointless. If you're working on a project you dont want to look down all the time

True i mean your basically driving another screen

At that small size and resolution though it's probably a negligible difference.
