Poll: Would you prefer an OLED touch bar instead of traditional function keys?

<p>Many people have been eagerly waiting for Apple to refreshed its entire MacBook Pro lineup with a thinner design, faster internals, Siri support (http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/24/apple-siri-osx-10-12-2016/), and more. A report yesterday (http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/23/apple-prepping-thinner-macbook-pros-with-oled-screen-above-keyboard-touch-id-for-q4/) said all of that is coming later this year in Q4, but added an additional detail: an OLED touch bar above the keyboard that would replace the row of function keys.</p>
<p>This is a new idea that hasn’t really been suggested for Apple’s MacBook Pro lineup before, but it has a variety of interesting possibilities. But with a significant change like that comes a steep, steep learning curve. The quick shortcuts we’ve all become accustomed to using throughout OS X would have an added twist, but could they potentially become easier to access in the long run? In the end, however, it would all come down to whether or not the OLED touch bar improved navigation enough to warrant a few weeks of relearning how to use your MacBook Pro’s keyboard.</p>
