Refurbished MacBook Pro 2018: Touch Bar and more
Sure, people remain firmly divided over Apple’s Touch Bar, the thin, customizable LED strip that sat above the MacBook Pro’s keyboard for a few years (just check out this Reddit thread). But really, any tool that helps streamline your activities is technically a win. And since this 2018 MacBook Pro comes with a grade-A refurbished rating, it’s a double win. Grade A means it arrives in near-mint condition with slight cosmetic blemishes, if any.
Not only can you customize the Touch Bar for different applications, giving you quick access to your favorite tools, but it’s also incredibly useful for things like browsing through timelines in video editing or sending emojis in a snap.

More specs
The love it/hate it Touch Bar isn’t the only feature of this refurbished 2018 MacBook Pro. Its 13.3-inch Retina display features True Tone Technology. That means you get stunning, vibrant colors and the ability to adjust the screen based on ambient lighting, which is easier on your eyes whether you’re burning the midnight oil or sitting in a sunlit cafe.
You’ll multitask like a pro with the 2.3GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655. From everyday tasks to creative work like photo editing, this MacBook Pro can handle most needs with smooth, responsive performance. However, because it doesn’t run on one of Apple’s M-series processors, it cannot handle the upcoming AI tools known as Apple Intelligence.
If you’re constantly on the go, you’ll love that this refurbished MacBook Pro from 2018 offers up to 10 hours of battery life. That should be more than enough to get you through your day without constantly searching for an outlet. Plus, the 512GB SSD ensures you can boot up in seconds and access your files without delay, all while giving you plenty of storage for projects, apps and media.
And did we mention the ports? With four Thunderbolt 3 ports, you’ll have the versatility to connect to external displays, high-speed data transfer devices, and much more — all at once. You might need a dongle for a special connection, though. If so, consult our guide to the best USB-C hubs and dongles around.
