Overall:
I bought this laptop for school and it's been amazing so far. It's light, powerful, and well-designed. The display is crisp and colorful. You can really notice a difference using this machine. Apple invests a lot of craftsmanship and technical expertise into their flagship products and it shows.
Performance has been fantastic for me. I'm not much of a gamer and I wouldn't recommend this machine if you're just planning to game on it. However, most games run pretty well on it.
The price means you won't get the best specs for the price, but you're not just paying for specs. You're also paying for the clean build quality, the sleek form factor, and Apple's ecosystem. You'll be hard pressed to find another machine this powerful that weighs just 3lbs, gives you 10 hours of battery life, and provides a comparable user experience.
All of the ports are USB-C, which means you'll need to get adapters if you want to use USB or HDMI. Apple's definitely looking towards the future with this design choice, but it's still a pain since widespread USB-C adoption will take some time and, right now, most of your accessories will be using USB or some other connector that's not USB-C compatible.
Not a huge fan of the Touchbar. I use the escape key a lot and not having that tactile feedback was somewhat disappointing. I haven't used the Touchbar itself that much except for volume and brightness control, which it does a great job at. It's a mixed bag for me. The Siri button can be extremely helpful if you have a quick question or somewhat annoying if you accidentally hit it while reaching for delete.
As a CS student, it's an excellent choice since you can develop for almost any platform without resorting to virtual machines. I'd recommend this laptop for anyone who's majoring in CS or really any engineering field. The price premium was definitely worth it for me.

I haven't always been an apple fan, but after some time with an iPad I decided if I was going to get a computer it would be an apple. After purchasing my MacBook Pro 13 3.1 ghz touch bar I instantly fell in love with it. It was so easy to set up, I never had to adjust any settings to make it work right, it just worked right after I signed in with my Apple ID. I use my computer primarily for school and it runs fast and reliable which is what I need. As much as I use to love windows, I can never see myself going back to a pc. I was even reluctant to get Microsoft office, but since I get it for free I did install it. NOW as far as hardware goes I am absolutely amazed. The touch bar is extremely useful, as sometimes I cant spell the words I attempt to type, it pops them up with correct spelling and I just tap to fill in whatever I was trying to type. A lot of new computers have touch screens, it seems the touch bar compensates for the usefulness of a touch screen without the added effort of having to clean fingerprints all of the time. The physical durability of the computer is amazing. I am in love with the solid state drive. I have accidentally dropped the computer against a table and into the floor and I really did expect it to be broken, but it turned out to work just fine with a small dent in the corner. There are just few nicks on the corners of my computer from the falls, but the computer continues to work great. Another noteworthy feature is the extremely loud and clear speakers which are amazing for such a small device. Overall the 2017 MacBook Pro 13 3.1 ghz is probably the best purchase I have made.

Thought I'd never own a MacBook as I was HP fan. But this MacBook has changed my opinion about MacBooks. It is easy to navigate. Light weight. Love the new keys on the keyboard! Starts up very quickly. And oh...the TouchBar...LOVE IT! Love the Dock at the bottom as it really does come in handy and your desktop is not all cluttered with shortcut icons. And it very easy to add or remove programs. Yes it has taken a little bit of time to get the hang of the way things are done when you open a program but I think it is a much better. And once I got use to the "title" of a program...like "Finder" being what Microsoft computers name "File Explorer"...it was so easy to use. The updated Touchpad is wonderful! It is very responsive to the lightest touch and you can set it up in different variations according to your likes. You can't go wrong with this laptop!

I'm upgrading from a mid-2011 15" MBP and wow, this thing is a powerhouse compared to my old one. The retina display is simply stunning, it's design is gorgeous (I love that it matches my iPhone 8 Plus and iPad) and it is extremely light! All my work is a breeze on this! I can run Lightroom and Photoshop while listening to music on Spotify all simultaneously without any issues or hiccups. The butterfly keyboard took about 5 minutes to getting accustomed to, but I love it now! Aside from Touch ID, I don't really use the Touch Bar as much as I thought I would. I always forget there are shortcuts there for some apps or when I get a prompt. Maybe over time I will gradually use it more often, but at this point, I feel like I could have gotten the non-Touch Bar model and still been as satisfied, however, I do not regret my purchase!

Before this product, I had a Macbook for 9 years. These laptops are made to last! I once was a PC user going thru laptops every 2-3 years because of how slow they would inevitably become. But once I made the switch to Mac, I really can't go back.
This product and lightweight, sleek, and incredibly fast. I personally use it for surfing and school purposes. But I also use it to edit movies and record on Garageband. And boy, does this keep it. No slowing down, handles my work with ease.
Best of all, fast startup/shutdown and long battery life.
You will not regret a purchase like this.

This is the Best MacBook Pro ever! I love how light it is! I went with the 13 inch one with the TouchBar for mobility and it packs a punch! I love how I can log in with my finger print and the TouchBar is way more functional than I thought! The Display is brilliant and it charges so much faster than my 2015 MacBook Pro! Apple for life!!!

I bought this laptop with the intentions of using it primarily for all computer related things for my YouTube channel. Specifically iMovie to edit as I am a newbie and am not ready to fork over the money for Final Cut Pro yet lol. This is my first experience with a Mac laptop. I do have an iPhone and an iPad as well. It works seamlessly with all of my Apple devices and really makes the video editing and file transfer process a breeze (I was originally shooting videos with my iPhone 7 Plus)! I originally thought the electronic touch toolbar at the top would be a fancy add on that I really would not use but I find myself using it all the time! Especially in iMovie and when writing video descriptions. I think it is a very nifty feature and love that it is included in this model. I have zero complaints and am very happy with my purchase! Without it I know I would not be able to do all the things I’d like to do for my channel.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this laptop. I've been in IT for the past 7 years and have been into computers all of my life. I grew up with Macs in school long ago and drifted away from Apple over the years as most do, but for the last 10 years I've alway been envious of MacBook owners. Well I finally got one and it hasn't been a disappointment at all. This laptop is fast as lightning, the OS is amazing, the hardware is sturdy and worth every penny, and it pairs perfectly with my 2 year old iPhone 6 plus.
I still have a Windows PC (Sony Vaio) that is decked out but it never gets used now. This laptop has taken over my life. The capabilities and options available and the power is intoxicating. Apple really hit a homer with this laptop.
P.S. Don't forget to grab a case (I recommend the inCase Snap Jacket from Best Buy), a USB dongle, and a Thunderbolt 3 hub for USB, Ethernet, and HDMI.
A:I went to store at Madison heights, MI and they declined to match this offer. So if anyone is able to get those headphones for free, please post it here. Thanks
A:The Macbbook Pro 13" with the new touch bar is regularly priced at Best Buy for $1799. The price on their website today is $1649 ($150 off). This model has 256 GB.
Hope this helps.....
