The editors didn't like
Little else has changed
Including the lack of ports beyond a single USB-C connection. You still can't get more-powerful mainstream Intel processors
Still only one USB Type-C port
Price hike puts many more powerful Windows machines in contention

Personally we've always found the MacBook's 12in screen a touch too small for day-to-day use, which makes the arrival of a souped-up and Retina-equipped 13in Air exceptionally pleasing.As far as we're concerned this is a no-brainer; the Air is ahead on mo...

We've always been a huge fan of the MacBook and this update improves the experience even further.It is a stunning piece of technology but owning one does come at a high price and we can't help thinking that £1,249 is simply too steep.But if you want the u...
One Thunderbolt port just doesn't cut it, Not at all competitively priced
No.The MacBook is a good, even great laptop, meticulously engineered and beautiful. Apple itself makes it a tough sell, though, by pricing the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro at the same entry price. Yes, the MacBook is more portable – but that's the only re...

Second-gen butterfly mechanism keyboard makes for improved typing, lovely looking design, solid battery life, excellent screen quality, silent operation
Still only one USB Type-C port, price hike puts many more powerful Windows machines in contention, Force Touch isn't that useful
The 2017 Apple MacBook is one gorgeous looking, capable and long-lasting laptop. The second-gen butterfly mechanism keyboard is a notable improvement over the previous generation too.It's still a controversial laptop, however, given its single USB Type-C...
The laptop's screen can show 4K video and films, Extremely lightweight and small this is the perfect machine for using on the go, Comes with word processing software builtin, Great sound quality one of the best we've seen from a laptop, Plenty of storage
The display isn't a touchscreen, Not ideal if you rely on a CD/DVD drive, Only has one USBC connection, which is not really enough ports for our liking
The new MacBook is the ideal buy if you're after a highly portable laptop, or you own other Apple devices, because this means you'll get access to more features. It's expensive, but the stylish design and ability to cope with everything from web browsing...
Really solid build quality, New keyboard switches feel great, The screen's lovely for general use, Decent battery life
FaceTime camera is 480p, Keyboard is REALLY LOUD, Would be nice if it was 200 quid cheaper, USB-C rather than Thunderbolt 3
This isn't a perfect notebook, then, nor probably even a perfect MacBook. But this laptop is nonetheless ridiculously lovely to use. Yes, I'd like a webcam beyond 480p, and for the keyboard to be a bit quieter, but the unit feels solid, the screen is grea...

With a subtle tweak to the keyboard and better component choices, this cult favorite mini MacBook suddenly feels like it can be your everyday laptop...

The MacBook is stunning but it is cursed with one port in a world that isn't ready for that yet. If you do everything over the air though and want the smallest, lightest ultrabook possible then it is an outstanding, if expensive, option.The Kaby Lake gene...
For now it's clear that the MacBook Air offers the better deal in terms of specs, presuming that you are looking for a light laptop – if weight isn't an issue then there are even better options in the MacBook Pro range.The MacBook is, for now at least, pr...
