We've been over this a few times, but let's list the differences between the $1,499 MacBook Pro and the Touch Bar model. Differences between all three MacBook Pros Specs at a glance: 13-inch 2016 Apple MacBook Pro (Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)Дў.9GHz Intel Core i5-6267U (Turbo up to 3.3GHz)ДЁGB 2133MHz LPDDR3 (soldered, upgradeable to 16GB at purchase)Дўx Thunderbolt 3, 2x Thunderbolt 3 with reduced bandwidth, headphonesДЎ1.97' Г— 8.36' Г— 0.59' (304.1 mm Г— 212.4 mm Г— 14.9 mm)Д§20p webcam, backlit keyboard, threeВ integrated mics But the biggest question for buyers is whether the Touch Bar is worth it and what it adds to the experience that you canвЂ™t already get if you keep the latest version of macOS installed on your laptop. WeвЂ™ll spend plenty of time with all of those things. So, yes, these new laptops have new CPUs and GPUs, new designs, new ports, and new screens. And it's the biggest thing about these Macs thatвЂ™s truly new-Macs in the last half-decade have gotten thinner and lighter and have better battery life than before, but, Touch Bar aside, they all still run basically the same software in basically the same way. ItвЂ™s AppleвЂ™s answer to the touchscreen, a model that Apple steadfastly resists in its computers even as Microsoft and its partners embrace it. ItвЂ™s a melding of AppleвЂ™s traditional Intel-driven software platform and the companyвЂ™s own homegrown chips and its touch-driven iOS platform. This little touch-enabled strip represents a bunch of things. The new design of the MacBook Pros is nice, and AppleвЂ™s decision to put in nothing but Thunderbolt 3 ports has prompted a fresh wave of dongle talk, but the signature feature of the new MacBook Pros was always going to be the Touch Bar.
