I didn’t know it was controversial until I was looking into getting a new Apple laptop. I’m pro-Touch Bar, and I’m not afraid to admit it. So when I saw the chance to get a 2017 refurbished 13″ MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar for just $329.97 (suggested price $1,499!), I jumped at it. I didn’t want to spend the equivalent of a plane ticket across the world for a new computer that didn’t have easy access to volume and brightness controls and a search bar.

The MacBook I went with has a Grade A Refurbished rating, meaning I was guaranteed no dents, cracks, screen scratches, or burns, and at least 80% battery life. For typing in Discord, I like the spelling suggestions on the Touch Bar and the swipe access to emojis. Honestly? I think haters don’t know about expanding the control strip to pause or fast forward music, getting a hue bar to change colors, or the customization options.

Apple innovation is at its best with the Touch Bar’s convenience and speed. This laptop has a lot of room to spare with 512GB Storage wrapped up in a thin and lightweight aluminum housing. With a Dual-Core Intel Core i5 3.1 GHz processor, I don’t have any trouble multitasking or leaving a ton of browser tabs open. And the battery lasts for up to 10 hours without needing to plug in.

Pick up your refurbished space grey MacBook for only $329.97 (that’s 77 percent off the suggested price) until June 29 at 11:29 p.m. PT.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
