2017
2017 models. It's best to pay more and get the 2018 models, especially for 13 inch MPB.
What is the difference in specs and price?
Quad-core i5 in the new 13" vs dual in the old is the main change. This is about $700 cheaper though (compared to pricing on the Apple site) and a lot of people won't notice a substantial difference in performance (single-threaded performance is similar between the two).
Thanks
The 2017 model is dual-core processor, the 2018 model is quad-core.
Substantial processing power increase. Useful if you do any editing/gaming/encryption stuff.I bought a 2018 one yesterday for $2370
Thanks. I am looking for my teen for school. I can get the 2017 non touch bar with 256 gb including 3 years warranty for around $2265. Not sure if extra few hundreds $ will be worth it for the touch bar and latest version.
@yht: the deal above is pretty good price, but only 1 year warranty though.
@StuBalls: Yeah, I was thinking to go to OW to beat price the $2265, should go down to $2151.75.
How did you get it for $2,370? That’s a very good price
@Trio21: ebay 20% off. The store - sydneytec.
@StuBalls: Is $2289 for refurb 2018 256gb or $2549 for refurb 2018 512gb worth it?
@EnergicAU: In this case, you can get a brand new one for only $80 more. So it is definitely not worth it.
If you were saving like $500 then maybe worth considering refurbs.
this or the Microsoft surface laptop i7 7660U 8/256 for $1470?
Is this in same store? I saw in MS eBay store they were more like $1600-odd
Was a recent deal 20% off Surface products

I have been using Microsoft OS for my whole life and it has always been outdated in a very short time and I can forget about the resale value. But it doesn't look like the same with Apple IOS. Am I right?
Ummmm… How does the OS get outdated??
What I meant was using non Apple product with Microsoft OS.
@yht: Then sure, I'd agree that resale value is usually less for Windows PCs. Partly offset by the much lower price for same specs though.
wow such high prices for underpowered laptops…. :o apple values their IOS highly.
WTF,just bought the same but without touchbar for same price in jbhifi one week ago
You're not missing much. Touchbar is not really that useful.
for 2017 13/3" 256
GPU 640 - 650
Th port 2 - 4
touchbar no - yesI felt I missed a Million
whys it not really that useful? every app has different shortcuts. seems like it would be useful if you actually use it. some things might be quicker than the keyboard shortcuts or moving the trackpad/mouse to the toolbar in app.
Hmm.. maybe I just don't like to use it or haven't really take the time to make the most of it. Probably the only useful bit I use is access using Touch ID. Apart from that, I don't feel like missing out anything if there was no Touch Bar. My personal experience anyway..
Also, with the Thunderbolt port.. 2 is enough for most use. I only have ever used 2 simultaneously, one for the dongle the other for charging. Though I could really just charge from the dongle. I can't imagine times when I'm going to need more than 2.
I have two MBP's (with and without the Touchbar). I absolutely love it. With BetterTouchTool you can assign scripts/functions to it. I prefer it, but each to their own.

this deal is way better
Yeah.. That was eBay 19th B'day special :)
I’m with zlasuka, waiting for them to have another sale or will holdoff and wait for the 2019 model.
Now that I know the 2018 model has been sold that low, everything else seems like a rip off.
Yeah its ok but there were other items sold for less like Bose QC II for $296.10 and Switch for $341.10, Airpod for $170.10 during eBay Birthday
I do not think , 2018 model will go that low soon along with these :)
a pity sydneytec isn't cheaper like the previous price. would be willing to buy if so.
With PEARTREE 20%, it would be:
PRICE LESS 20%
MR9Q2X 13" Space grey 256gb $2,968.00 $2,374.40
MR9R2X 13" Space grey 512gb $3,298.00 $2,638.40Previous Price
2018 Model 256GB - $1979.10 with Code
2018 Model 512GB - $2159.10 with Code
Newbie question with price matching to OW. Will they price match this? Cheers in advance.
I believe they will match the pre-promo code price. Price matching doesn't include ebay promo codes.
Thanks Dng!
Thanks, was about to buy one from Sydneytec but bought a space grey 256GB from here instead
Yeah Sydneytec jacked their prices above apple store prices zzzz
what year mac? 2016?
