My problem with it is that my current work setup involves a keyboard, a mouse, and two monitors that are plugged into the laptop that sits to the side. My laptop monitor is used for company email and messaging. The TouchBar would almost be out of easy reach and would not be useful to me in any way. I would have to wonder how many people are in a similar situation.

I guess they could offer an external keyboard with the TouchBar and I could use that.

Yes, how the touch bar will work when the focused application is in full screen in a second monitor is anyone's guess...

Why would that make any difference?

It wouldn't if you are still using the keyboard on the laptop.

Makes me wonder how common it is for someone to use a second monitor off the laptop but still use the laptop's keyboard and trackpad.

Maybe I didn't understand his remark. Obviously if you don't use the touchbar it doesn't work. And if you don't use the trackpad it doesn't work, etc.
