13" MacBook Pro - TouchBar or non-TouchBar?

Opting for 128GB will pretty much guarantee it being obsolete in a few years, seriously go for at least 256 or preferably more if you can afford it.

So it's based on your assumption.

I have no idea what anything will be worth in the future. You may wish to think spending $500 more on a machine, it will be worth a higher value...but then you're spending $500 more to begin with.

I’ll remind you that $500 includes two more USBC, a 256gb ssd which would be the same price as the 256gb nTB model in terms of storage, and a Touchbar. Oh and an extra fan. The $500is not apples way of say “oh well just increase the price just because” it is quite obvious, based on history and common sense, that the touchbar model will have a higher resale value than the non touch bar.
