^ Would be used for app and web developments mainly TC: 200
No
I find it annoying tell you the truth
Nope.
Find a older model without touchbar from offerup at a much better price. Since you are doing web development you may not need a lot of CPU and RAM
Thanks. Most of the time would go on iOS dev and I'm going for a refurbished. But it seems a 3.1ghz or above dual core comes with touchbar. I wonder is it makes a difference
Buy a used one from Offerup rather than refurbished from Apple
The touchbar is nothing special, but the specs are better.
Touch Bar and keyboard are shit on the new Mac. I’d gladly trade the new one for the older keyboard with just better hardware specs.
The keyboard is better than the older one IMO, the TouchPad is what's worse.
Really? I find that the latest model has no travel distance for the keys. If feels like typing on some touch device
No
TouchPad is worthless for coding and app development.
I agree with you. But we can buy an older model without the useless and annoying touchbar. We get all the goodness of Apple ecosystem and avoid the shit hell hole of windows and PC
seems in refurbished options only with touchbar I can bet good specs. example: 16gb ram i5
Na. You would do fine without one. Its just gimmicky.
