3 Touch ID & Keyboard
The 13-inch entry-level MacBook Pro does not have a Touch Bar. The new MacBook Air doesn’t have one either, but it actually does have Touch ID integrated into its top row of keys unlike the basic MacBook Pro shown above. That may not be a deal breaker for many, but Touch ID does mean better security and convenience.
There is also the question of the keyboard, which could be a deal breaker. The 13-inch MacBook Pro without Touch Bar sports a second-generation Butterfly keyboard, which has had notable problems with dust or particles in the past. The MacBook Air has Apple’s third-gen keyboard with silicone dust protectors.
