Microsoft introduced its Touch Bar in 2009

Many have been the times that we have discussed the issue of whether or not Apple is the attempt of an idea implemented in its products. We all know that Apple is a specialist in reinventing things, that is, using something that has already been invented and totally turning it around to do with that particular thing something that had not been done so far.

With the arrival of the Magic Mouse Apple did not invent a mouse, but it reinvented the concept of it, with the Magic Trackpad the same and now it seems that with the touch Bar they have gone the same way. 

It is clear that a laptop with a touch screen in its entirety is a device that is not comfortable to use and it is that while in an iPad a good touch screen is essential as well as the possibility of Apple Pencil that those of Cupertino have implemented the new iPad Pro, in a laptop what has to prevail is a good keyboard.

Apple is clear about it and instead of implementing a touch screen in their latest Macbook Pro laptops, what they have done is to improve the keyboard with the second version of the butterfly mechanism released in the 12-inch MacBook and provide the laptop with a second screen , in this case OLED, small and tactile, the Touch Bar. 

Now, this concept we have to say that it is not new and it was Microsoft that in 2009 presented an idea very similar to what they called Adaptive Input Devices that in the end it has not implemented in any of its laptops but that, now that Apple has done it, we will see in less than a rooster crows in Microsoft laptops. 

We attach a video in which you can see that the idea that Apple has implemented in their laptops already existed and those of Cupertino, once again what they have done is reinvent what already existed and for my taste in an exquisite way. They have implemented in one place all the functions of the laptop in addition to Touch ID. Bravo Apple! I'm looking forward to trying that Touch Bar.
