TL;DR: Save 74% on a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar when you buy a refurbished model at the Mashable Shop while supplies last.
It was once the darling of Apple innovation, but the Touch Bar was tragically cast aside, deemed unworthy of a place in the latest MacBooks. Why? Some loved having a narrow touchscreen with quick-access, customizable controls, and some hated it. Others never got to try it — the closest MacBooks ever got to touchscreens.
Want a bite of this forbidden Apple laptop? Though they’ve been discontinued for years, you can get a refurbished 2017 MacBook Pro for $379.99 that features the infamous Touch Bar (reg. $1,499). Orders yours now if you’re interested — we have less than 75 available.
With a grade “A” refurbished rating, the MacBook will arrive in near-mint condition with only light cosmetic imperfections.
Here’s why you want the Touch Bar
Unlike regular laptops, MacBooks with Touch Bars have a changing row of functions at the top of their keyboards. At the top right, you have a control strip to change volume and brightness or use Siri.
But in the middle, the buttons will vary depending on the app you have open. You might be texting in Messages and get typing suggestions, designing in Photoshop and find a rainbow color picker, or trying to perform shortcuts and see function keys appear.
What else can this MacBook Pro do?
You can expect a little extra performance when you’re getting a MacBook Pro vs. an Air. Check out your new-to-you laptop’s specs that make it suitable for everyday tasks and a little beyond:
