Don’t care for the Touch Bar? Then the entry-level 13-inch model is the one for you, being the only one without the touch strip.
Otherwise, the 13-inch Macbook uses an Intel Core i5 chip and 8GB of RAM, while the 15-inch model uses a Core i7 chip and has 16GB of RAM. All of the new laptops sport four USB Type-C ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Apple is also promising “up to ten hours” of battery life for the laptops.
