MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (13-inch, Mid-2017) review

 

A faster, but still divisive, MacBook Pro

Stronger processor ; Faster RAM ; Same excellent design

Subpar battery life ; Keyboard learning curve ; Awfully pricey for the parts

The new MacBook Pro is a marked improvement, but clinging onto previously divisive design decisions only continue to hurt it in straight comparisons. While this update certainly doesn’t disappoint, apply due diligence before clicking the ‘buy’ button.

Apple MacBook Pro (2017) review

 

Apple's most powerful portable gets a performance boost for no extra cash. What's not to like?

Plenty of power and long-lasting battery life ; Gorgeous display is basically unrivalled ; Fantastic keyboard/touchpad combo

You’d better be ready to live the dongle life ; Loses cool points versus the Touch Bar model

Performance, portability and a sensible price make this the go-to MacBook Pro for anyone that isn’t tied to a desk

Macbook Pro 2017 Review: 13-inch Kaby Lake model tested and rated

 

We review Apple's new 2017 13-inch Macbook Pro, updated with a Kaby Lake chipset for super-smooth performance.

Compact, yet powerful ; Solid battery life ; Gorgeous screen ; Kaby Lake ; Touch Bar

Pricey ; Integrated graphics

If you already own a recent Macbook Pro model and you’re considering upgrading to this 2017 model, you really don’t need to bother. That performance upgrade is an incremental improvement that simply brings the series more up-to-date, without adding any...

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina review

 

When Apple whacked its super high-definition retina display into its 13-inch MacBook Pro last year , it also managed to make it much thinner. It brought it closer in size to the MacBook Air , and made it a far more viable option for people requiring...

Beautiful, high-definition display; Good battery life; Plenty of power; Solid, attractive design.

No Ethernet port; Still pretty pricey.

The 2013 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro has a super, pixel-packed screen, looks great, has good battery life and gives you a healthy boost of power over the MacBook Air, without bulging out your backpack too much. It'll set you back a pretty penny though.

Apple MacBook Pro 2017 review

  (Rating Hidden)

The previous Apple MacBook Pro was released barely at the end of 2016, and yet it's already getting an upgrade. This seemingly reflects Apple's new product strategy, focusing on small spec updates rather than huge changes. The good news is that the new...

14in MacBook Pro vs 16in MacBook Pro (2021)

 

There are two new MacBook Pro with a choice of M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. How are they different and which offers the best value for money?

MacBook Pro 13-inch (2017) review

 

It's not as Pro as we'd like, but the 13-inch MacBook Pro is still the best mid-sized Mac laptop Apple offers

MacBook Pro 13-inch (2017) preview

 

Who is the 13-inch MacBook Pro for and is this mid-range Mac a good deal?

With all that in mind, and despite everything we’ve written above, if it’s a Mac you want we still think that the 13-inch MacBook Pro is a better option than both the MacBook and the MacBook Air currently.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (2017, Touch Bar) Review

 

The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar gets even better with a processor upgrade, vastly improved battery life, and a slight graphics bump. But the entry-level, non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro is a much better value.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (2017) Review

 

The base model MacBook Pro gets an updated processor and a price drop, making it the best choice for Mac shoppers who want a blend of power and relative affordability.
