| [* red] A rudimentary inspection of the outer case reveals a new model number: ***A1706***. | |
| [* black] [http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/|According to Apple|new_window=true], this MacBook Pro's dimensions match ''exactly'' with those of the [guide|72415|"Escape Edition" machine|new_window=true] we tore down a couple weeks ago. Do we believe it even for a second? Yes we do. | |
| [* black] One thing that ''is'' noticeably different is, of course, the port situation on the starboard side. This Touch Bar-equipped machine packs two extra Thunderbolt ports, so you have twice as many places to plug in your dongles. | |
| [* black] We also threw both machines on the scale, and found the Touch Bar version weighs about 20 grams ''less'' than its counterpart. We're chalking the difference up to this laptop's smaller battery. | |
| - | [* icon_note] The Touch Bar is pretty, but it's missing ... something. |
