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

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

Need for dongles will be inconvenient

Connectivity issues with 2.4 GHz WLAN and USB-C devices
Clattering fan on our test model

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

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

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 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
