The editors didn't like
New trackpad takes getting used to
Force Touch gestures aren't that useful
Discrete graphics still not an option on the 13inch Pro
The machine isn't any thinner or lighter than it was a year and a half ago
Not as fast as other (quadcore) MacBook Pros
Memory cannot be upgraded after purchase
Good battery life for light workloads
But it drops off quickly under load
Heavier than many 13-inch notebooks
Only upgradable at time of order. Base Flash Storage capacity is just 128GB. Glossy screen. Ethernet requires adapter. Force Touch trackpad takes a little getting used to
And is of limited use right now
The 2015 updates make only a minor difference to the hands-on experience
While similar high-end 13-inch laptops continue to get thinner and lighter
Windows rivals now offer lighter weight
Higher resolution
If you want a touch screen
You won't find it in Mac land
Not as thin and light as competition
SD Card sticks out
No discrete GPU option
The display bezel is still enormous
Still gets a little hot in your lap
New MacBook hints at more changes to come
The thinner MacBook Air does most things just as well
Force Touch applications are still in their infancy
USB-C port would have been a nice addition
Lowend 128GB version doesn't offer much storage. What Force clicks do isn't always clear
Discrete graphics still not an option on the 13-inch Pro
Force Touch trackpad is a revelation, Outstanding design, build and finish, Strong performance and connectivity
New MacBook hints at more changes to come
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is a more exciting proposition than it might otherwise have been, thanks to the inclusion of the new Force Touch trackpad. Apple has made it clear that the all-new MacBook is the design direction that all future MacBooks will f...

The 13-in. MacBook Pro is not the lightest on the market -- however, for road warriors, students and anyone who wants a great size/performance notebook, this one is tough to beat. When you factor in its full complement of ports, unmatched build quality, s...

Everything we've ever liked about the Retina MacBook Pro line holds true in the latest 13-inch model. The keyboard is still excellent, OS X is still a fantastic operating system, and while it's not the smallest 13-inch notebook around, it's definitely th...
Abstract: Last week's Apple Keynote gave us more than pricing for the Apple Watch. It gave us a brand new, or make that two brand new Macs; one that is sadly not available yet and this one, the new MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display and it brings new generatio...
