High-end model from Apple when it was released between 2016-2017, the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar follows a similar recipe to the 13" model but with double the fans and a million extra pixels. It's not a model that we come across very often at iClinique. Is this a sign of its robustness? We believe it's mostly because this computer didn't sell as well. The 15" Mac is generally designed in the same way as the 13", just larger.
