The editors didn't like
Lack of ports
Only USB Type C
Very
Very expensive
Short battery life
No USBA ports
No ethernet
No native display ports
No upgrading after purchase
Lack of Touch Bar-supported apps limits its usefulness right now
Not a huge real-world jump in power from entry-level model
You'll need adapters - at least in the early days
Cramped and slightly rattly keyboard with almost unusable arrow keys
You're paying a hefty premium for the Touch Bar
Which supports only a limited handful of Apple apps for now. The USB-C-only ports mean carrying a bag full of dongles. The lack of high-end graphics or huge RAM options in the 13-inch model may frustrate ph

It's been a long wait for a new MacBook Pro, and in many ways it feels like this new 13-inch model has been worth it. There are just so many positives about the machine that make it a joy to use – from its svelte dimensions to its eye-popping display, gre...
Maybe, but it's only a sure thing if you're a devoted Mac fanIf you're looking for the best all-around MacBook in the 2016 lineup, you should definitely get the one that has an updated Retina screen, fast Intel Core i chip, plenty of ports, and a great ke...
As good as last year's model was, I felt like a really needed an excuse in order to justify buying one. This year's model, however, with its better battery life, faster storage and quicker CPU is a laptop that needs no such vindication. If portability is...

The Apple MacBook Pro 13 with Touchbar being tested for this review is a great notebook. Durable but stylish as usual, very versatile but with a price that is difficult to reach the end consumer, it has technical features that can satisfy the prosumer ran...

The 13in MacBook Pro could be a wonderful computer, but it isn't. Is it great to use? Absolutely, it's brilliant, it's beautiful, it's almost everything Apple said it was, I absolutely love it… until it runs out of battery. Or you have to dig out yet ano...

Phenomenal keyboard, Apple's thinnest and lightest MacBook Pro to date, Truly staggering disk speeds
Major price hike, Features Thunderbolt 3 ports only, Touch Bar only available on most expensive model
If you can stomach the eye-watering price and you don't mind going without the traditional complement of ports, the new MacBook Pro is one of the best laptops money can buy. Speed, power and razor-sharp design sensibilities make it an absolute delight...
