Note: These mid-2018 models have the v3 butterfly keyboard and are not part of Apple's 4 year keyboard service program.

Compared to yesterdays non Touch Bar deal, here are the main differences:

2017 Non Touch Bar:
- 7th gen dual core (15W cpu)
- v2 butterfly keyboard (under service program)
- 2 Thunderbolt ports
- No TrueTone display
- Iris 640 graphics (64MB eDRAM cache)
- Bluetooth 4.2
- One 45mm fan (for cooling)

2018 Touch Bar:
- 8th gen quad core (28W cpu)
- v3 butterfly keyboard (not under service program)
- 4 Thunderbolt ports
- TrueTone display
- Iris 655 graphics (128MB eDRAM cache)
- Bluetooth 5.0
- Two 43mm fans (for cooling)
- T2 Chip (Offloads tasks such as camera, audio, system management from CPU, allows "Hey Siri")
Good point I didn't know 2018 isn't covered but... I have a feeling Apple with include it in the near future given that some had issues with v3 as well.

Picked one up with my Costco visa which extends the warranty for 2 years. That should cover any potential keyboard issues, right?

Is this deal only for students or is there a way to get this deal without being a student? N I see 512gb one as 1499$ instead of 1399$ on clicking on the link
