It may be unpopular, but I love the Apple Touch Bar
There's no way these 2017 MacBooks are sticking around for very long. The post It may be unpopular, but I love the Apple Touch Bar appeared first on Popular Science.
I didn’t know it was controversial until I was looking into getting a new Apple laptop. I’m pro-Touch Bar, and I’m not afraid to admit it. So when I saw the chance to get a 2017 refurbished 13″ MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar for just $329.97 (suggested price $1,499!), I jumped at it. I didn’t want to spend the equivalent of a plane ticket across the world for a new computer that didn’t have easy access to volume and brightness controls and a search bar.
The MacBook I went with has a Grade A Refurbished rating, meaning I was guaranteed no dents, cracks, screen scratches, or burns, and at least 80% battery life. For typing in Discord, I like the spelling suggestions on the Touch Bar and the swipe access to emojis. Honestly? I think haters don’t know about expanding the control strip to pause or fast forward music, getting a hue bar to change colors, or the customization options.
Apple innovation is at its best with the Touch Bar’s convenience and speed. This laptop has a lot of room to spare with 512GB Storage wrapped up in a thin and lightweight aluminum housing. With a Dual-Core Intel Core i5 3.1 GHz processor, I don’t have any trouble multitasking or leaving a ton of browser tabs open. And the battery lasts for up to 10 hours without needing to plug in.
Pick up your refurbished space grey MacBook for only $329.97 (that’s 77 percent off the suggested price) until June 29 at 11:29 p.m. PT.
