is the OLED bar waterproof and if so what is the IP rating? Update (10/29/2016) Sad isnt it. For a premium device to not address these small but important things. Is Apple thinking of a way to move forward technology wise or just is it just a way of adding to the cost of possessing an Apple device? For example the optical drive. What was the point of removing the optical drive? CD/DVD/Blue Ray discs are still very much in vogue all over the world? Thinner and equally efficient laptops have found ways to incorporate the drive in their bodies? Was it so difficult for Apple? I do doubt their intentions—- selling us things in the way they want to making us imagine that we are buying what we need!
The MacBook Pro systems as a whole are not waterproof! The keyboard, trackpad and the new Touch Bar are not designed to be spill proof - Sorry ;-{ Update (10/29/2016) First, I don’t know of any laptop system that is waterproof. Computers need ventilation so there is always at least two openings (in & out for the air to flow). Phones & tablets being small and being a flat input panel can be more resistant to spills they are still not fully waterproof it’s still not possible. It’s thought the Samsung phone failed due to over doing its tightness so it couldn’t cool properly when it was charging. As to the optical drive point Apple is not the only one that has dropped it. All of your ultra thin systems don’t have it built-in. I do agree, Apple is over fixated on thinness which is wacky! There is a market that wants a more useful quasi desktop system than a true desktop. There is also a market for a real MacBook Pro system that is designed for a real pro. The new MacBook Pro here is not a Pro’s system! Its somewhere between a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, I’m hoping Apple sees the light here too! The market is expecting a real Pro system not this. I expect the real PRO to show its face at Apples new Campus II in the late spring next year.
