While the Touch Bar model starts gets a 2.9GHz dual-core Core i5, the standard model gets a 2.0GHz dual-core Core i5. Then there are the hardware differences that were mentioned on stage. Now on surface it seems the lack of Touch Bar is the only real difference, but turns out there's more.Īpart from the obviously missing Touch Bar, the standard model also does not get Touch ID, which means no fast authentication, no quick user switching, and no ability to pay using Apple Pay online.
