Apple's new MacBook Pro gets a refresh, but is it enough?
Solid build ; Great screen ; Fast and powerful ; TouchID fingerprint sign-in ; Improved keyboard ; Long-lasting battery life
Keyboard still not perfect ; Design is looking tired ; Touch Bar still not a must-have
Don’t expect it to feel like anything has really changed compared to the 2018 model - the tweaked keyboard, brighter screen, new processors and must-have-it Touch Bar don't make this Mac upgrade worthy for existing users. That said, it's a great entry...

The entry-level MacBook Pro grows up, with a revamped screen, a Touch Bar, and more powerful innards
Superb display ; Surprisingly powerful ; Keyboard seems improved
Only two Thunderbolt 3 ports ; Touch Bar remains under-supported ; Expensive RAM updates
Once hard to love, the entry-level MacBook Pro has with this update been transformed into a great buy

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's best ultraportable laptop, thanks to stylish looks, an excellent touchpad, and long battery life.
Expert review by : Dan Seifert (theverge.com)
The latest entry-level MacBook Pro is surprisingly competent
Snappy performance ; Quiet fan ; Class-leading trackpad ; Bright, sharp display ; Touch ID is excellent
Keyboard reliability is a real concern ; Only two USB-C ports and… nothing else ; Just average battery life
Hopefully this will be the last MacBook Pro where we have to worry about the keyboard breaking, as Apple is rumored to release a new design in the next year or so that utilizes an entirely new keyboard setup. But until that happens, if you’re looking...

Apple MacBook Pro 2019 review: The new Magic Keyboard is where you will see a marked difference from the earlier MacBook Pro. Overall, the new MacBook Pro 16-inch gives professional users the raw power they need to be better at their work.
Expert review by : Mark Linsangan (appleinsider.com)
Without an event, Apple quietly announced an updated base model 13-inch MacBook Pro that featured new quad-core processors, Touch Bar with Touch ID, T2 Security Chip, True Tone display, and an updated butterfly keyboard. Is this new $1299 laptop worth it?
