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
Retina Display, Faster processor, Superb battery life
Force Touch underdeveloped, Unchanged design, Base storage feels small
The 2014 13-inch MacBook Pro was arguably Apple's best laptop, and the 2015 model is better still. If your next MacBook needs to be reliable, powerful and practical, the newest MacBook Pro is the only way to go....

Trackpad can take some getting used to; Trackpad might pick up on wrist movement and there's no way to control it;
Beyond the teething process that is the new trackpad, the Apple MacBook Pro is practically perfect, arriving with the ports you need and performance you demand, as well as a weight and battery life that makes it very, very tempting for many.We find it par...

Although the fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processor and Force Touch trackpad are minor updates, this year's 13-inch Retina Apple MacBook Pro is still an easy top pick for high-end ultraportables...
We're rather in love with the new MacBook Pro, but as with many love affairs there are irritations.The trackpad is huge and wonderful to use; but it's so big that the keyboard has been pushed up to make room, as well as flattened down to make the laptop s...

Retina display, Doyble RAM, Processor speed bump
Not huge update, Battery life, MacBook Air instead
The Pro's performance is still excellent in this respect, anyway. If you have specific needs that prioritise lightness and battery life, you might consider the 13-inch MacBook Air, but for the majority of users, this entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro wi...

Abstract: When Dell released the first XPS 13 early on in 2015, it fell agonisingly short of greatness. The design was there, the core hardware was fast enough, but a series of niggling little flaws prevented it from mounting a genuine challenge to the best ultrapo...
