A:AnswerAll new Apple products sold by Best Buy carry the same warranty as if you bought the item from Apple directly. The included warranty provided by Apple for a MacBook Pro is for 1 year. You can, however, purchase extended coverage known as AppleCare.
The AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook Pro extends hardware repair service and technical support coverage to three years from your MacBook Pro's original date of purchase. You can only purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan while your MacBook Pro is covered under Apple's One-Year Limited Warranty.
A:AnswerIt does, Select a 13" MacBook Pro without touchbar and then you can customize it as the next step. Below I'll put a photo of part of the page how it looks in my iPhone. BestBuy doesn't have all of the customization combinations available.
A:AnswerI believe this is Best Buy's model number.
I was curious too, but I can assure you that this is the Mid-2017 model 13 inch MacBook Pro with no touch bar, 1.5 GHz i7 Processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage.
A:AnswerYes it is an Intel Core i7 model; it's 2.5GHz instead of 3.5GHz because it is the non-Touch Bar model. To get the 3.5GHz you would have to purchase the computer as a custom-build directly from Apple.
A:AnswerThis is 2017 model. I just purchased and received it, and confirmed with data I found online.

As the link shows, it has a Introduction Date of June 5, 2017.
A:AnswerNo. I think that is just an Apple promotion. I bought this for $200 off (including student discount) during the 4th of July sale. Happy customer.
A:AnswerYou would have to purchase this directly from Apple. Best Buy will only sell the 1TB on the 15-inch model. The storage on these cannot be upgraded after you purchase them.
A:AnswerDEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE UPGRADE TO A MACBOOK PRO. IT HANDLES LIGHTROOM AND PHOTOSHOP WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN TRADE IN YOUR MACBOOK AIR AS CREDIT. YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK A SALES ASSOCIATE.
A:AnswerThis is not the touch bar model. It is original from Apple, but a customized model. If you go to Apple's website and chose the model without Touch Bar and Touch ID, you have the option of upgrading to the 2.5GHz dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, with Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz.
A:AnswerThis system supports "Turbo Boost 2.0" -- which "automatically increases the speed of the active cores" to improve performance when needed (up to 4.0 GHz for this model)
A:AnswerI had the same experience - frustrating. So, I finally drove to the store and made the purchase. Unfortunately, after I got home, I realized that this is not the touch bar model that I thought it was, so I am going to get a refund. Wasted time!
