Amazon has slashed $100 off the official price of Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro sans Touch Bar, offering the machine at $1,399 instead of $1,499, presumably for a limited time.

Spotted by AppAdvice, the discount is for the stock 13-inch model, which comes with a 2.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage.

Meanwhile, for anyone still debating whether a Touch Bar equipped MacBook Pro is for them, Red Sweater has released a free Mac app that simulates the OLED keyboard strip as a bar on the screen.

Touché is essentially a test bed for developers, but still includes a fully functioning Touch Bar that dynamically changes based on the app currently in use, allowing anyone curious to see how it augments the physical keyboard.

On a more frivolous note, Facebook iOS developer Adam Bell has managed to hack Apple's new Touch Bar to run classic first-person shooter Doom.

Due to the low demand
Really. How do you know this? Any numbers supporting "Low demand?" Or are you Apple bashing again.

I was sceptical at first, but seeing DOOM on the touch bar has definitely sold the idea to me.

Those must be some fun sales numbers to look at with Apple already slashing prices on products and accessories just weeks after launch

All well deserved after this joke of a product
This discount is from Amazon not Apple.
