About This MacBook Pro

This device is a BTO/CTO device which is nearly identical to MPXQ2LL/A. We have listed this device separately as it has been configured with an upgraded processor when compared to the base model. This has been done to make it easier to catalog as well as easier to read.

The powerhouse behind this device is a Core i7, 7th Generation “Kaby Lake” 2.5 GHz processor which featured both an integrated graphics card as well as the opportunity for a dedicated card. A Butterfly Mechanism keyboard is incorporated into the MacBook Pro to allow users to have a comfortable experience while typing.

This is an improvement from previous designs and provides a signature feel to all Apple devices. This model is only offered in two colors, either silver or space gray. There are no USB ports provided on this device with only 2 Thunderbolt “3” ports provided with the intention for Apple to lead the adoption of USB C-type devices.

Common questions

Is MPXQ2LL/A the same as A1708?

Not exactly. MPXQ2LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A1708 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What MacBook Pro is model A1708?

A1708 is the Apple A-number shown for this MacBook Pro family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 3164 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.
