0:00 MacBook Touch Bars are back!
0:01 The FlexBar is a 10.8-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback.
0:04 When you open an app, this thing will show you the relevant controls, proving handy for
0:08 professional work, and there's game integration, too.
0:10 Custom macros are recorded and controlled through the FlexBar software, which provides
0:14 full control over your layout, including free icon packs.
0:18 And since it's compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, pretty much anything with a USB port,
0:22 one could argue it's actually better than the Touch Bar we used to know.
0:26 You have to keep it plugged in over USB-C at all times, which can pull it around a little
0:30 bit.
0:31 But how much is it again?
0:32 $185.
