If you want to blame the $1,800 price on anything, blame it it on the Touch Bar because the updated 13-inch MacBook Pro doesn't come in a version with the regular function row. For my specific case, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is off the table it's simply too large for my needs.īut let's go down the list of reasons why I'm not pulling out my credit card without hesitation. In short: I need a new laptop, and although I like what the updated MacBook Pros offer, I don't love them. And the Retina display's anti-reflective coating has started to wear off, but I've been too lazy to bring it to Apple for what could be a free repair. The MiniDisplay Ports constantly can't maintain a stable connection to the two old Apple Cinema Displays I have (the displays work fine with a Windows 10 laptop). The Intel processor and integrated graphics are too slow for crunching 4K-resolution videos and chokes hard for streaming 4K videos on YouTube.

Some of the keys on the keyboard are cracked after suffering who knows how many thousands of words on Mashable. But, five years on, it's on its last legs. The fully loaded laptop, which I bought with a sizable discount from B&H, has served me well over the years. It was one of the last of this particular model to come with a full suite of ports (full-sized USB, SD card, MagSafe, etc.) before Apple redesigned its notebook lineup in 2016, dropping all ports in favor of USB-C. My own personal laptop is a maxed-out 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. See, although I review consumer tech for a living, I'm still a consumer and vote with my own money. This isn't a full review of the new MacBook Pros - I haven't seen or used them in person and we'll have one soon enough - but my honest opinion on what Apple's announced.
