However, the base-13 inch model packs the speed with a 2.0 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor and an SSD storage with 256 GB. It also boast an 8 GB RAM that is upgradable to up to 16 GB coupled with an Intel Iris Graphics 540 GPU. If users wish to have the Touch Bar feature, consumers has to shell out extra dollars for the 13-inch model with Touch Bar.
