Apple - Refurbished Excellent - MacBook Pro - 13" Display with Touch Bar - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Space Gray

this model has retina display 2560x1600 not 1299x1499. It has touchbar having many shortcuts (customizable) alongwith T2 touch ID. no more passwords, just touch like old iphones and good to go. Much better new processor.

It has a more powerful processor (2.4 ghz vs 1.4) and 4 thunderbolt 3 usb c Ports instead of 2. Turbo boost brings the processor speeds to nearly identical standards so now that the lower end models have a Touch Bar, the only difference that would be noticeable to the average person is the amount of ports

I would go with a MacBook Air, Kaity. If you’re mostly doing online courses and web browsing, the Air is more than sufficient. The Pro would be useful if you’re in a photography or online video editing class that would require more power. Good luck and have fun in college!

This is the 2019 model but it is only 2 thunder ports.
