The Macbook Pro 2016 edition, the most expensive Macbooks yet, have now come out with the Touchbar feature that users have mostly used it to serve their emoji needs and other text predictions while writing. The touch bar that Macbook Pro is implemented, is likely being used primarily by content creators and other creative professionals as showcased during their launch keynote last year.

Microsoft Office, on the other hand, has found the Touch bar on the new Macbook Pro variants, to suit their application needs. According to a report from the Apple Insider, the Redmond-based corporation will roll out an update for Macbook Pro users letting them make use of the Touch bar to sync in progress with their office applications suite. The update will be providing quick access wherever available in their applications.

The report also confirmed that the update would be in compliance with all their applications, hiding top menus like formatting in a word to be accessed on the touch bar. The initial testing procedure was available to all beta tested, eight days before final release. Additional details from Engadget also revealed that their voice calling software Skype to receive support very soon.

The touch bar features will include improved features like inserting data into files or hyperlink text in the document directly on the Touchbar. Powerpoint users meanwhile will receive control-specific commands that will help in the quick creation of any presentation. The update is free of cost to all Microsoft users with a subscription.

However, the touch bar might not prove to be very beneficial after all due to the constant necessity of users looking down whether their current operation was precise or not. This was, in fact, pointed out in many reviews online. It might be beneficial to speed up things but however, the primary concentration still stays on the screen. Things might change after continuous usage but the cost, however, cannot be justified.
