Alongside previous-generation MacBook Pro models, Apple has also listed its 2016 notebook family that come with different hardware but a cheaper price tag compared to the original.

All 2016 MacBook Pro Present on Apple’s Refurbished Store Come Without the Touch Bar

The refurbished models belong to the base model of the 2016 MacBook Pro family and just to be clear, these are the ones that do not feature the Touch Bar. While that might be a deal breaker to some, if you are not going to be using the Touch Bar on a daily basis, then paying the extra money is going to go to waste. Plus, it should be clear that you will experience more fatigue once you start to move your finger from your keyboard to the Touch Bar continuously so only purchase those high-end notebooks when you feel that you can actually take advantage of this new feature.

As for the hardware that you are getting with these refurbished models, those details have been listed down below.

Granted these products belong to the refurbished category but coupled with Apple’s legendary customer service, you are also getting a one-year limited warranty and a 14-day return policy if you are not satisfied with the machine. Though AppleCare cannot be purchased, having a 12-month warranty period ensures that Apple is delivering top-notch build quality from these notebooks. The money that you end up saving can be used to purchase dongles down the road.

Both 2016 MacBook Pro models come with Thunderbolt 3 ports, so you will definitely need adapters and dongles if you are expected to get some expansion out of these machines.
