There's a 13" MBP model that lacks Touch Bar, featuring normal function keys.

Apple is using last year's Skylake processors (6th-generation), not Kaby Lake (7th-generation), even though some OEMs are starting to ship hardware with Kaby Lake right now.

>Retina display

>15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors

No 4K display on the 15" models.

The GPU configurations are as follows based on the order page:

Intel Iris Graphics 540 (13" sans Touch Bar)

Intel Iris Graphics 550 (13" with Touch Bar)

Radeon Pro 450 with 2GB memory (15")

Radeon Pro 455 with 2GB memory (15" top-end)

Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB memory (both 15" models, optional)

As a WebGL developer, I'm really happy to see the Intel HD Graphics 4600 chipset die. It's basically been the performance target for consumer-oriented web applications for years now. Unfortunately, that target will still linger until older models finally reach obsolescence.



The only problem with the non-Touch Pro is the lack of ports :/ Otherwise I'd get one right now.
