The 2016 MacBook Pro comes with a new feature called the Touch Bar: a long slender touchscreen that sits along the top of the keyboard in place of the old function keys. Depending on the application you're currently running - and any customisation options you may have selected - it can display and enable a wide range of functions and controls.
In Safari, for example, it shows tab thumbnails, forward and back buttons and the like; in Mail it shows QuickType typing suggestions and an emoji button. (Mail also offers more general predictive suggestions, offering to move an email to a folder that it thinks is suitable, based seemingly on scanning the contents and/or sender of the message.)
