Additionally regarding the Air vs Pro w/o touch bar:
The Air is 100$ cheaper, and has the TouchId scanner and the newer-gen keyboard.
The Pro has a 15W TDP vs 7W TDP CPU with slightly higher performance, and a TrueTone display with higher brightness.
I would probably pay the 8% extra, but overall those things are very close.
- mbreese 8y agoI think the Pro w/o touch bar will probably get dropped sometime soon. I don't think the slightly higher performance of that MBP model will sell enough to warrant the SKU. Especially considering the keyboard differences. If the Touchbar-less MBP didn't warrant a model update with the newer gen keyboard, I could easily see Apple selling through their stock and dropping it.
- Matthias247 8y agoTotally possible. That again would have the result that they increased all their prices by a whole class, without most people recognizing it. The MacBook Air is then at the level of old 13" Pros, and the Pro is much higher (at the previous Pro+Touchbar level). That approach would match what they did with the new iPhones, where the X also moved the price range for an iPhone by a big amount.
