The MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.9 13-Inch (Late 2016 Retina Display, Touch Bar, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) is driven by a 14 nm, 6th Generation "Skylake" 2.9 GHz Intel "Core i5" processor (6267U). This CPU has dual independent cores on a single silicon chip, a 4 MB shared L3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 2133 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM (upgradable to 16 GB only at purchase), 256 GB or 512 GB of PCIe-based flash storage, and an integrated Intel Iris Graphics 550 processor that shares system memory.
This notebook also features an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam, a slim, backlit "second generation" butterfly mechanism keyboard with an integrated new "Touch Bar." This touch-sensitive control replaces traditional function keys, adapts to different applications, and provides Touch ID login. It also has a large "Force Touch" trackpad.
Additionally, it boasts a high-resolution 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen 2560x1600 (227 ppi, 500 nits) "Retina" display and an integrated battery offering an estimated 10 hours of use.
Available in silver or a darker "Space Gray" aluminum, this notebook weighs just over 3 pounds (1.37 kg). Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, four "Thunderbolt 3" ports (USB-C), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Compared to its predecessor, this model introduces a completely new, thinner external housing available in an additional color. It features the aforementioned "Touch Bar" and a larger trackpad, but swaps a variety of ports for just four Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. Internally, it offers a more advanced processor, architecture, and graphics, plus better speakers, but with reduced battery life.
