Touch Bar and Touch ID
Strong
Sleek unibody design
Prettier. There's no such thing as a toobig trackpad. The Touch Bar is remarkably wellexecuted. The ability to charge from any port is pretty great
The inventive Touch Bar streamlines work and saves clicks
And Apple has improved almost every part of the thinner
Lighter MacBook Pro
Including a larger touchpad
Faster components and a flatter keyboard. iPhone's Touch ID is handy on the Mac
Too
So light
And so thin. Never buy a laptop without a screen this good. The battery is actually allday this time. There's almost certainly enough power here for you
Attractive and well-built
Thinner and lighter
Retina screen is brighter and more colorful than ever
Impressive audio quality

The editors didn't like
No legacy ports
No signature innovation
You're still paying an Apple premium
This is a pricey 13-inch device
Information on Touch Bar too easy to miss
Limited number of ports
Limited port selection
And need for dongles will be inconvenient
Especially at first
Extremely limited repairability and upgradeability
Intel's CPU speed increases in the last few years have been discouraging
Occasional probl
13-inch Touch Bar model doesn't have the same battery life as the non-Touch Bar model
Need for dongles will be inconvenient

Connectivity issues with 2.4 GHz WLAN and USB-C devices
Clattering fan on our test model
Only 3 ports
Very expensive – especially the upgrades
Poor webcam
But reduced bandwidth for the ports on the right side
Neither USB-A nor HDMI-out
2.4 GHz WLAN issues with attached USB-C device
Pricey
Given the components
Only two ports
Requiring added-cost adapters for most users
Shorter battery life than previous-gen model
Last-generation CPU means some similarly slim Windows machines perform better
Last longer
Keyboard is a step backward from old MacBook Pro keyboards
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports instead of four
Limited to 16GB RAM maximum
And graphics aren't upgradeable
Expensive
No USB Type-A ports
Not as fast as 7th-gen Intel-powered laptops
No SD card slot
Shallow key travel
No USB 3
0 (Type-A) ports
Requires adapters for legacy peripherals
Expensive- what a price hike! More for good looks than Pro work
Oddball butterfly low travel keyboard
No legacy ports except headphone jack
0 ports
High end graphics
Large amounts of RAM

Low
Low pricing
The world is not quite ready for USBC
And you're not either. The Touch Bar needs more customization
And soon. Laptops aren't supposed to be this expensive
Are they?
You're paying a hefty premium for the Touch Bar
Which supports only a limited handful of Apple apps for now. The USB-C-only ports mean carrying a bag full of dongles. The lack of high-end graphics or huge RAM options in the 13-inch model may frustrate ph
It is so
So very expensive. The transition from many ports to one is scary. No one's going to look good in this webcam
Expensive with the Touch Bar
Easy to accidentally hit the Touch Bar instead of the Delete key
The MacBook Pros usher in a new era for personal computing. Apple's refusal to add touch functionality to macOS (lest it cannibalize iOS) has resulted in two workarounds that assist users in interacting more intimately with their technology and the work t...

Excellent all round performance, very good battery life, brilliant touch pad, very good screen
I know what I'm doing more with Windows than with a Mac. But I must say that this entry level 13 inch MacBook Pro makes the thought of switching extremely tempting.Tags AppleMacBook ProRetinaUSB Type-CUSB-CPrevious article Review: Oppo R9s smart phoneThom...
Beautifully designed and built, Brilliantly bright and clear screen, Second-generation keyboard feels better than the first, Trackpad is massive, Battery life is good, especially for the size and specs
Keyboard won't be ideal for all, Only two USB/Thunderbolt ports, No SD card slot
We're going to sound a little different from many of the other reviewers, but we actually think it's good that Apple jumped to USB Type C and Thunderbolt 3 without including the standard USB port, and it's not the first company to do so.HP did so earlier...
