There are even a couple of really attractive Chromebooks, but none of them combine all of these elements into one package like the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. People can finally buy powerful and beautiful notebooks running Windows. The Windows and now ChromeOS worlds do a better job of competing with the Apple MacBook Pro in terms of design and looks today, but they can’t beat Apple’s build quality and overall user experience. Add awesome performance and great battery life, and you get the best 13-inch laptop available.

For now, the keyboard is adequate, and with some minor adjustments it could go from being something that's easy to like to being easy to love.Few laptops combine beautiful hardware, an easy to use operating system, and feature-rich bundled software that all works together as well as Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. We're confident that this could be alleviated with a little bit more travel – say, up to 1mm or even 1.5mm. In comparison, the new Pro's keys are cold, harsh and calculated undoubtedly efficient yet lacking in personality. The wobble of the MacBook Air and Pro's keys almost gave them character as you bounced from one key to the next. Typing never becomes uncomfortable, but it is curiously unsatisfying. The unfortunate part is that hammering on them for hours a day, as we have been for the past week, starts to feel like a chore after a while.

The switches' clicky nature allows you to settle into a more comfortable typing rhythm, and it's possible to bash out plenty of words in a short space of time. It offers a much improved typing experience over both the 12-inch MacBook and previous MacBook Pros. It has allowed Apple to achieve the machine’s slim dimensions, features per-key backlighting that results in zero light bleed, and its enlarged keycaps make sense considering the MacBook’s newly enlarged trackpad.

On the plus side, the new keyboard is a fantastic fit for the new MacBook’s aesthetic. Want to use a mechanical keyboard and a wired mouse? Then you’re going to need a USB-C adapter that provides additional USB-A ports. In fact, the 13-inch MacBook is more compromised than the Air because, assuming that you want to keep one USB-C port free at all times to charge it, that leaves you with a single port for connecting devices. However, Apple’s decision to only include two ports on this entry-level MacBook Pro is an unfortunate limitation, and it also positions the machine as a direct MacBook Air successor.

The multi-talented USB-C standard allows you to connect peripherals and hook up external displays to your MacBook while charging the machine at the same time.įar more versatile than USB-A and capable of much faster transfer speeds (40Gbps versus 60MBps), USB-C is undoubtedly the future of connectivity. All of the above have been replaced with two Thunderbolt 3.0-speed USB-C connections. Previous 13-inch Pros featured a healthy array of connections – including HDMI, mini DisplayPort, two USB-A ports an an SD card reader.
