MBP - non Touch Bar BUT with tb3?

[tiger$tyle]

Hey all,

I think I know the answer to this – but is there a MBP with 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, but *without* the touch bar?

I need Thunderbolt 3 for work – and I need all three ports. But as a power user, hate the Touch Bar. It's beyond pointless.

You all know this – any solution that needs your eyes on the keyboard when you're used to shortcuts without looking down is a huge step backwards.

I can adjust Brightness, key lights, volume, etc etc without looking on the standard keyboard. The Touch Bar is... well, it sucks.

Luckily, I'll mainly be using the computer - 15" if it exists, 16" if not – with an external keyboard, so I don't have to worry too much

Thanks!

Thank you for stating YOUR opinions about the Touch Bar. Not all of us agree with you. I'm a power user and need it. Just because you hate it doesn't mean other power users share your same feelings or needs. And the answer to your question is no.

I'm a power user, and I love it.
