alt Hacker NewsIt’s rare but I’ve definitely seen my touchbar lock up or go dark and require a restart.
It also could get mad hot on my 2016 MBpro when video editing. Still love(d) that computer though…

I still own a 13-inch MacBook Pro 2019 with the Touch Bar, and I believe it’s the last Intel-based model.
What a nightmare. ‘Mad hot’ even on… just being alive.

Yeah, it locked up on me every couple months or so. Very glad to see it gone (as the primary ESC + F-row input).
I also would not mind it in addition to regular keys, there are some great interactions in there. But it's an extremely poor keyboard-emulator. Splitting off the escape key made a huge improvement, but it's nowhere near enough.
