However, before you feel bad, some MacBook Pro users have something else to say. More are saying that the laptop has a solid battery life that can last a full day of heavy use. In general, the majority find MacBook Pro's battery life great.

Meanwhile, one of the greatest features of the latest MacBook Pro is the addition of its Touch Bar. Unfortunately, for those who will be taking bar exams, MacBook's Touch bar is not welcome.

Apple Insider reported that test takers of North Carolina Bar Examination should disable MacBook Pro Touch Bar during the bar exam. A proctor will ask the takers if they will be using a laptop and an ExamSoft technician will check and ensure if the said feature is disabled.

The board didn't explain its new policy. However, there are speculations that the move is associated with cheating. Touch Bar suggests phrases and words, and students can add predictive texts.

The Verge reported that Colorado is doing the same thing. However, it cited that banning of Touch Bars during the exam is due to compatibilities issue. The new feature is reported to be "not compatible with the security features of the ExamSoft software."
