The editors didn't like
Very limited upgradeability
No performance improvement over Haswell models
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

Fairly heavy (compared to the Air)

Unchanged design

Not much
Touchpad is very poor when using as 'click' buttons - feels rubbery and you have to press a long way
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display isn't a major leap forward in technology, but it didn't need to be. A better processor, battery life, faster storage and a Force Touch touchpad make it a worthwhile upgrade for those using almost any non-Retina...

The 2014 13-inch MacBook Pro was arguably Apple's best laptop, and the 2015 model is better still. If your next MacBook needs to be reliable, powerful and practical, the newest MacBook Pro is the only way to go....

The MacBook Pro 13.3" is still an appealing product and performed excellently in our tests. The changes made to the 2015 model aren’t monumental, but they do make the device even more of a pleasure to use. If you’re looking for a top notebook (and if you ...

Macbook Pro 13in (2015) Apple hasn't changed too many parts of the MacBook Pro for 2015. There's a new trackpad and the latest generation of Intel CPUs, which deliver better stamina as well as a chunk more power. Owners of recent models needn't offload t...

It's not as glamorous as the super-slim new 12-inch MacBook, yet we're pleased by the quiet but significant updates in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The new Broadwell chips and updated integrated graphics should lead to improved real-world performance and ...

The MacBook Pro is meant to be Apple's most powerful laptop for professional users, so the fact that the new Broadwell processor only just matches the performance of its Haswell predecessors is disappointing. The improved battery life is always welcome, o...

Fairly heavy (compared to the Air), no discrete graphics, no exterior design change
We've been bigger fans of the MacBook Air than the MacBook Pro in recent years, opting for lightness over the chunkier powerhouse, but that's changing with the release of the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro. The gap between the two is now more defined, m...
Taken as a whole, 2015 sees the 13in MacBook Pro become an more attractive proposition than ever. It's light, powerful and obscenely long lasting. The high-DPI display and all-round quality alone are enough to make us wonder why we'd spend £1,000 on any o...
