Very limited upgradeability
No performance improvement over Haswell models

Touchpad is very poor when using as 'click' buttons - feels rubbery and you have to press a long way
Abstract: A few weeks ago Apple held an event in San Francisco to showcase the new additions to its product line. Most notably was its new smart watch, the Apple Watch (or colloquially referred to as the iWatch by its fans and detractors alike). There were a few ot...

More than 11 hours of battery life in our tests. Brilliant Retina display with higher-than-1080p resolution. Two Thunderbolt 2 ports. HDMI port. Comes with iLife and iWork software suites.
Only upgradable at time of order. Base Flash Storage capacity is just 128GB. Glossy screen. Ethernet requires adapter. Force Touch trackpad takes a little getting used to, and is of limited use right now
Although the fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processor and Force Touch trackpad are minor updates, this year's 13-inch Retina Apple MacBook Pro is still an easy top pick for high-end ultraportables....

While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability....
Faster CPU and graphics than the Ultrabook competition, same lovely Retina display, excellent Force Touch trackpad
If you want a touch screen, you won't find it in Mac land
It's easy to call many of Apple's products overpriced, and justify the added cost with build quality, excellent tech support and the cost of admission to OS X Yosemite. In the case of the 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display, you're actually getting a good...

Retina Display, Faster processor, Superb battery life
Force Touch underdeveloped, Unchanged design, Base storage feels small
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...
Abstract: The fans have spoken. It wasn't enough last year for me to compare Microsoft's Surface Book to Apple's MacBook Pro 13. Silly me, I figured a dual-core 13-inch laptop should go up against a dual-core 13-inch laptop. But nooooo, fans cried: For this to be a...

Abstract: Despite how far smartphones have come in the last eight-odd years, as productivity devices, they're still a little too restricted to get serious work done. They're undoubtedly fine for quick tasks like replying to emails and scheduling appointments, but...
