Apple - MacBook Pro - 13" Display with Touch Bar - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Space Gray

Indeed, is the answer to transitioning to this over from a Air. Perhaps you have a different experience but since I’ve recently received this MacBook. I have now both Air and Pro but this MacBook gets really hot and I am only doing the same things side to side from my air and seems to get to hot while my Air stays cool. I needed this for school so I could work on my photography and now I’ve seem to have to use the Air more because I’m afraid that the Pro heats up and I don’t not want to chance any mechanical failures and for just about 1800 dollars and that’s getting one that’s opened box, certified And looks New only came missing was that actual box. Boxes are penny’s over what you get inside them but. This heat thing does worry me and I’ve made lots of calls but pandemic is hard to communicate so I hope this works out. First in college and already two MacBooks. Fingers crossed I guess.

I love this MacBook is just great, i own another yes!!

I had such excellent help in selecting the right Mac product recently. The Best Buy sales person took his time to explain the differences between one laptop and another and showed me the latest features and their benefits in certain uses. I felt very comfortable making my selection because I was better informed than when I first entered the store. I was able to order the laptop -- it was not available at that time in the store, and it was shipped to the store for pick-up at a time that was convenient for me. I had the option to have it shipped to my house, but since it required a signature, I did not want to risk missing the delivery. Best Buy made it work for me and my situation. I really appreciate the outstanding service.

My family had the MacBook Pro since around 2009 2010 and it was finally time for an upgrade. When I say upgrade I mean New lol. We couldn't do our homework, apply to jobs, watch youtube, or even check our emails. I'm gonna be honest since I bought the latest model, there isn't much of a difference to my old one. I like that these newer laptops are lighter in weight. Some new things I noticed are the new clear screen, Siri, Touch Bar, new different usb slots, the keyboard clicking sound, like only a couple of new updates since the 2009 2010 model. Also there's no disc slot so I guess CDs are history lol. Not complaining but i thought I just point out those details for other people. The thing with Apple is that they make long lasting laptops. I figured I spend two grand to get the newest one and see how long it will last me and my family this time around. Heres hoping another 10 years lol or until I graduate. Overall its a great laptop and definitely and upgrade in the end.

Seriously, we love it. We replaced my wife's ten year old MacBook with this MacBook Pro and it's a big hit. We replaced my ten year old MacBook Pro with an iMac 21.5 inch and I'm wishing I'd just bought another MacBook Pro. I'd recommend staying away from the iMac and just getting a MacBook Pro. You'd think the desktop would be faster, less glitchy, etc. But it's not. Get the laptop.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter thinking it would encourage her to work hard to get the best grades she can as an entering high school freshman during this very difficult transitioning year in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic! While we have yet to see results ...her enthusiasm, motivation, determination and diligence with assignments, and the ease with which she can get things done...are already evident!

Great computer but couldn't Apple have left just one old fashioned USB port for us luddites. Most people, like me, will have to also purchase a dongle or other device to bridge to traditional USB drives. Otherwise, I love this computer, which is closer to the weight of a MacBook Air than previous MacBook Pros.

I love the screen quality. I also own a MacBook Air 11”. This has a much better screen which really benefits my photography. For day to day stuff I could’ve lived with my air as it has a superior keyboard and form factor in my opinion. Battery life doesn’t seem anywhere near what’s stated, However it seems to be improving. I think I have to make sure it’s not hunting for WiFi or I’m not using external devices. My external hard drives seem to really drain the battery quicker than my old Air. I also miss the MagSafe connector as I have little children in the house. I suppose I could still buy an adapter. All and all it’s a great computer, very quick, and solidly built. The gentleman at the store was very helpful as I had many questions. I have no regrets on my purchase. I have yet to really find a use for the touchbar.
