Ready for a hot take? The Touch Bar is seriously underrated

Claudio Ctin2 weeks ago3 mins

TL;DR: For $379.99, score a refurbished MacBook Pro with a 3.1GHz i5 processor, 512GB SSD, and the surprisingly useful Touch Bar.

Let’s stir the pot a little — the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro is one of those features that’s easy to overlook but genuinely useful once you give it a shot. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just someone who appreciates a little extra convenience, this 2017 MacBook Pro could quickly become your favorite piece of tech — on sale for $379.99 (reg. $1,499) for a limited time.

With a 3.1GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage, it’s built to handle your daily grind with ease.

The Touch Bar adds a layer of customization to your workflow that you might not have known you needed. From volume sliders to quick access tools in Photoshop, the possibilities are endless — and customizable to boot. Plus, Touch ID makes logging in or making purchases a breeze, without the hassle of passwords.

This MacBook Pro doesn’t skimp on the essentials either. The Retina display is as stunning as ever, making everything from photo editing to Netflix binging look crisp and vibrant. And since it’s refurbished with an “A” grade (meaning it’s near-mint), you get all this power and functionality for a smaller price tag than buying one brand-new.

So, why not give the Touch Bar a chance? This MacBook Pro might just surprise you in all the right ways.
