13 inch macbook pro 2017 vs 2016 macbook pro 13 inch with touch bar.

[The Game 161]

which is the better buy do you think? it's a choice between these two and i think the 2017 is cheaper. what would be the better buy?

The base 2017 version is supposedly faster on benchmarks than the fastest 2016 nTB or TB MBP so I'd go with the 2017 version unless you really need/want the Touch Bar for some reason.

Only you can decide if something is "worth" it to you. I personally despise the touchbar, trackpad, keyboard, etc., but appreciate the improved speakers, screen, and graphics, so if Apple ever extracts its head and makes a 15" without the touch bar and with an improved keyboard/reduced size trackpad I'd likely buy one.

Isn’t the keyboard the same on the touch bar and 2017 MacBook Pro?
