The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The Touch Bar replaces traditional function keys and includes Touch ID for fingerprint login, which is convenient if you're used to Apple's ecosystem.
- It weighs about 2.6 pounds and measures less than an inch thick, so it's genuinely portable for a laptop in this class.
- The 256GB storage is on the smaller side for a laptop, so you'll want to think about cloud storage or external drives if you work with large files or keep a lot of apps installed.
As of Aug 30, the New Apple MacBook Pro is overpriced at $389 — versus a $336.44 typical price and a $289.76 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
