Note that the version with function keys has a 2.0 GHz processor and 1866 MHz RAM, compared to the base touchbar configuration with 2.9 GHz and 2133 MHz.
You can configure it up to a 2.4 GHz i7 for $300, bringing it to the same price as the 2.9 GHz i5 and touch bar. I don't know how those two processors compare.
- devrelm 10y agoLooking closer, I'm pretty sure that the non-TouchBar model is just the previous model. It has the 4th gen processors where the TouchBar models have 6th gen processors. The non-TouchBar model also still has the "smaller" touchpad and the same ports & layout as the previous models. The body itself even has the same finish as the older model. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just the previous model.
- wlesieutre 10y agoNot sure where you're looking, the non-touchbar model is physically identical to the touchbar except that it has a function key row and two less ports. Definitely the new model, it's the same thickness, same screen, same trackpad. See the tech specs if you want to confirm: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/ http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/
- sliken 10y agoThe non-touchbar model also has a 5kwh larger battery. Not a bad deal for $200 cheaper.
- devrelm 10y agoPardon. I was looking at the 15", which doesn't offer a non-Touch Bar model: http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLQ2LL/A&step=config# http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLQ2L... At the time, I wasn't aware that there was a new 13" non-touchbar model.
