Since its introduction in 2016, the MacBook Pro as we know it today has produced mixed reactions from its users. People love the combination of size, weight, and performance. But there are legitimate issues that make people hesitate or even regret buying...
I often say in laptop reviews that if you bought last year's model, you probably won't find the speed results compelling enough to upgrade. But this year is different for anyone who uses multi-core apps. Six processing cores is, well, better than four, an...

Buy from Apple After a month of use, here’s the definitive review of the 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Apple’s newest 15-inch MacBook Pro proved controversial when it launched at end of last year. It was late and featured changes to the desi...
After using the MacBook Pro for a month – and a huge range of laptops aimed at designers and artists over the years – I have come to suspect that it's not really aimed at creatives. It has the look of something designers would use, and so will appeal to b...

Which brings me to my one real gripe with the new MacBook Pro: its price. This is a good laptop with a lot of big upgrades, especially for anyone coming from an old MacBook Air. And it is definitely a better computer for the average person than the MacBoo...

I've been using the new MacBook Pro (13″ with Touch Bar) now for several weeks – determined not to use my gut reactions as my formal review. With time now passed and some solid use-cases out-of-the-way, I think I can call it – this is a sensational device...

To Touch Bar or not to Touch Bar; that is the question. At least, it was the question with the 13in MacBook Pro. The answer, somewhat surprisingly, was 'not to Touch Bar', as its overall usefulness is still a bit questionable and the Touch Bar version of...

There's no denying that the 15in MacBook Pro is a flawed device. Its battery life is much weaker than expected, its choice of connections means you need to buy adapters, and its headline-grabbing new Touch Bar just isn't that useful right now.Yet despite...

My biggest point of contention with this year's line-up has been that I thought Apple skimped on storage and RAM while boosting the entry price for the MacBook Pros with Touch Bar. I felt Apple was nickel and diming its customers, especially considering t...
