Unfortunately, the Touch ID also does not work with Windows 10. The LED lights that power the Touch Bar do turn off after defined user time though to save battery. In other words, those are static, presets that never change. However, unlike in macOS you the Touch Bar never changes based on the app being used and those functions are non-configurable. I find that result surprising if only because mentally I was prepared to hate Apple's new keyboard design, but I don't. I do agree though that it's a very divisive feature amongst users and one that you either get used to or you will forever loathe.
In fact, I type just fine on it and sometimes even prefer it. While I agree that the new 'Butterfly' mechanism for the keyboard and very low key travel is different, I surprisingly do not hate it. Plus, like the Surface series it has a less-wide aspect ratio (16:10), which I prefer (seriously, I think PC manufacturers need to go to 3:2 or 16:10 at least).īattery life is on par with most Ultrabooks in this category, and I can get 6 to 8 hours depending on some settings. I will point out that because there is no digitizer the display is sharp, bright, and has an excellent color gamut. Sure, there's no touch screen, but personally, that is not something that bothers me although I get that for some users this is a deal breaker.

Still, Windows 10 on a 13-inch MacBook Pro (2880x1800 though Windows for some reason recommends 2560x1600) is more than fine.
Something like the HP Spectre x360, Dell XPS 13, or a Surface in most cases is significantly cheaper, come with a better selection of ports, have nicer displays, and offer neat things like facial recognition or flip to become tablets. Of course, I would never advise you buy a MacBook Pro just to use Windows 10.
