My company-issued Lenovo X1 Carbon 2 has a touchbar. I hate it because it's so poorly executed. If I want to use a Function key, I have to cycle through the options to get to the Function key ... uhh ... functionality.

What's that? I need to disable/enable wireless adapter? Oh! Just cycle through a few screens and touch the utility panel.

Oh no!!!! I forgot to mute my speakers and now I have to cycle through the panels to get to my speaker mute button.

I can't really tell how Apple did theirs, but I sure hope that they did a better job than Lenovo.




The best 'feature' is when you overshoot the (horrific) backspace key and the stupid utility launches on your screen. I think you can rest easy Apple's will be far-better implemented than Lenovo.
