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

In last year's line-up, moving from entry to middle models of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display meant gaining more memory and more storage. With this year's range, it will cost you £200 just to add another ‘128 GB' (actually a change from 121 GB...

I've always been a fan of the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Though my personal preference is for the 15-inch model, the 13-inch modeled I tested are attractive laptops in their own right. If you're have a older non-Retina Mac laptop, it's a good time...
