Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports Review
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2017 with two Thunderbolt 3 ports and function keys, model A1708 (MacBookPro14,1). 13.3-inch 2560x1600 Retina display, 8GB memory, 54.5Wh battery.
This is the no Touch Bar 13-inch, sold in Late 2016 and 2017 under the same A1708 number. Its battery is the A1713. The Touch Bar A1706 looks the same from a distance but takes a different battery, so check the model number on the bottom case before ordering parts.
Replacement parts
Battery: Apple A1713 (54.5Wh). The display is replaced as a complete assembly on this model rather than as a bare panel.
