However if you do want the Touch Bar feature, then you might be interested to learn that Apple’s refurbished store is now selling the 2016 MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar where depending on which configuration you choose, you could end up saving anywhere between $360-$650, which is actually a lot of money if you don’t mind something that isn’t completely brand new.
For those unfamiliar, refurbished products are basically products that have been returned for whatever reason. How a company refurbishes their products will differ from company to company, but in Apple’s case they claim that that they will do a “rigorous” refurbishment process, and will offer a one-year limited warranty. There will also be a 14-day returns policy offered.
However it should be noted that supply and variations of refurbished products are limited, so if you don’t see what you want, you can check back later. In the meantime for those who are curious, pop on over to Apple’s refurbished store to see what options there are available.
