With its sharp 2560×1600 resolution and Apple’s True Tone technology, everything from spreadsheets to movies looks crisp and vibrant.\n\nApple’s Touch ID lets you unlock the device or confirm purchases with a quick fingerprint scan. And it features the Touch Bar, which gives you quick access to dynamic shortcuts.\n\nYou’ll also find four Thunderbolt 3 ports and up to 10 hours of battery life. And since it’s Grade-A refurbished, it arrives in near-mint condition with minimal signs of use.\n\nThis MacBook Pro still holds its own as a capable everyday machine.\n\nGet this near-mint MacBook Pro for just $429.97 (MSRP $1,999).\n\nApple Macbook Pro (2020) 13″ i5 2GHz Touchbar 16GB RAM 1TB SSD Space Gray (Refurbished)See Deal\n\n_StackSocial_ _prices subject to change._",
