Watching the apple event and the various demos of the touch bar reminded me of this onion video from 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA

I really needed a macbook upgrade (I've been using the same machine since 2008), but I have a feeling that the touch bar will fail and be removed in the next generation of macbooks. But buying the macbook without the touch bar means settling for lesser specs (and given that I'm thinking about buying a machine that would last me another 8 years it feels like a bad choice).
