When i purchase this mac, the girls say me is the latest model. But when I open and review the specificacions, it was corresponding to 2017 model.

I am a first time Mac user, having used PC's for most of my adult life. I was skeptical at first, but after just a day or so of you using this Mac, I felt at home. The OS system is smooth and makes worries over virus protection a thing of the past. I installed the software called Parallels on this so that I could still operate my Windows 10 environment and they both work well, making access to PC software as simple as opening an app. The Mac environment flows seamlessly with my iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch and has made me a true believer. The storage is great and it's awesome to be able to boot up fast without waiting for the hum of a normal drive. It's lightweight, durable and has become an amazing tool for work and rest. Love it!

Overall, I am blown away by the ecosystem, and the performance that comes with the 2018 Macbook Pro. The device itself is elegant and refined. There is some discussions ongoing about thermal throttling and keyboard issues that may arise due to dust or debris getting inside the membrane underneath each key. I have yet to experience any of these issues. I have given the MacBook Pro 4 stars instead of 5 due to the potential lingering problems that may pop up in the future. It does appear to be a legitimate concern for most users, and it certainly has been a common issue. I have monitored my CPU temperature while programming, compiling, doing design work, and while benchmarking. I have not seen my MacBook Pro thermal throttle, nor has my performance be substandard during any task. It appears to really only be an issue with the i9 machine while doing heavy 4k rendering and edits. If you are really worried about the keyboard issues purchase Apple Care + within 60 days of your purchase date so that you will be covered for an additional two years of warranty. If you are not too worried about having an issue then purchase your new MacBook Pro with a credit card that provides you with purchase protection. My Visa Signature card offers me an additional year of warranty coverage on my MacBook Pro for free. I would not hesitate to purchase this MacBook Pro again. My only regret was not being an Apple user before I made the purchase.

I had been shopping around for a while when this popped up on a 1-day sale to clear out the 2017 models. I did a ton of research into some of the complaints above the keyboard, as well as the benefits to the newer generation processors- if I'm going to spend $3,000 I might as well get the best and newest! I was a little bit weary to spend that much money on technology and hardware that were already out of date as this will need to last me for a long time (this was an upgrade from a 2009 model!). After talking with a very knowledgeable salesperson, she assured me that this was more than sufficient for almost anything I could ever want to do with it, and she was right! I run multiple graphic design programs at once, plus all my basic programs with no problems, and incredible battery life. The SSD is a lightning fast upgrade from my old hard drive, and the laptop runs cooler than expected. I always thought the touch bar was kind of a gimmick...until I actually used it. The way it offers different layouts and functions based in the program you are using is awesome, it simplifies tasks, speeds up productivity, and gives you a higher level if control in a simple interface. I couldn't be happier with this laptop, and am now thinking about upgrading my desktop as well!

Incredibly fast processing, beautiful graphics, great sound (especially for a laptop), and the touch bar is far more useful than I imagined it would be. I love the access speed of the 1TB smart drive. Everything just occurs on this computer. Fantastic purchase overall.
