Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is half as big and twice as powerful as my previous MacBook Pro. It's great for traveling, keyboard is fine for typing, beautiful display, good sound volume. Unfortunately, there are only two ports. To plug anything in, eg; film cards, USB devices, etc, you need an adapter or a hub. The hub I tried DID NOT work with the CD/DVD Superdrive 's USB plug. It needed an adapter, which worked fine. Bluetooth, and Airdrop are good.

I’ve owned and purchased a ton of macs for myself and my business. This particular model needed to be smaller, to be portable. I’m s a great size, powerful, quick. I am however angry that Mac eliminated all the ports. But that’s what they do!!

I've been a PC guy for my entire adult life. Built, worked on, used professionally and for gaming. I got tired of my work laptop being so slow, and wanted a Unix kernel machine for some work related learning, and decided to try a Mac. I am delighted with my Macbook pro. Productivity is much improved, even over my 3 monitor PC setup. I Grant you that some of that productivity is due to having a faster machine to work on, but a large part is the desktop switching inherent to Mac OSX, and not having to pick up my phone ever few minutes to answer a text (since they show up on my Mac). Brilliant. There is no way around it... There are things you just can't do on a Mac they way you do on a PC. For my situation, that is a tiny price to pay outweighed by the massive upside. Pros: FAST. Light, easy to lug around. Decent battery life. Continuity features between iPhone and Mac (instant on personal hotspot, calls/texts on computer, application handoff). Sturdy. Amazing multitasking using multiple desktops. Amazing screen (even at 13") Cons: abysmal storage space. Lack of ports (only has 2 USB C connections and a 3.5mm jack). EXPENSIVE. Keyboard design issues (Google it, but they extended warranty coverage to 4 years for the keyboard). Accessories are expensive. Overall, I can't believe how great this machine is. I'm very disappointed my bias against Mac to keep me from this level of performance for so long. I cannot recommend a MacBook pro enough. That being said, skip this model and get the 256 gig SSD model instead. You'll fill up 128GB before you leave the parking lot, unless you're prepared to go with an upgraded iCloud storage account (not a bad idea anyway).

I purchased this laptop to replace my 2011 MacBook that I gifted to my sister. It is solid, well build, fast, and light. I miss having conventional ports, but I have a magic mouse and wireless printing, so I'm all set.

This machine lives up to the hype, it's great. Battery life is excellent, screen is beautiful, keyboard is oddly appealing, but there the "issues" we all know about. The lack of ports and an SD card reader, frankly sucks. I had to give in and buy a dongle the same day I purchased the machine. The plus side is that the machine looks sleek without all the holes on the sides and the USB-C charging is rather nice. I am overall happy with the replacement of my old friend (mid 2010 MBP).

Love the new slim design of the mac books. Same apple performance so you know what your getting. Dislike that it doesnt have any input slots for anything. So you will have to buy adapters for sd usb av etc

This is a great laptop i've had it for about a month and is just as great as my older one was. I do wish that they had more ports though, and it heats up after prolonged use.

I knew that I wanted to get a Mac and used to have a MacBook Pro so I automatically knew I wanted another one. I love this new one! The only thing I'm not too happy with is only having 2 ports, especially when I need to charge my computer because then I only have 1. It's super fast, the picture quality is outstanding and it's as easy to use as my other one. I would highly recommend this computer to anyone looking for a new one!

I was going to get an MacBook Air but BestBuy had such a good deal on the Pro I couldn't turn it down. It has a beautiful display. It is easy to use if your in the Apple community (easy to use if you're new to Apple too. My only complaint is the lack of ports. I don't mind the keyboard but it won't be for everyone. All in all a great computer for most needs.

I’ve had other MacBook pros and airs a this is definitely a great item. My only issue is the lack of USB and other ports. It’s a pain to have to use an adaptor.

This Apple MacBook Pro is fast and has great screen resolution.I opted for the smaller size screen as it's lighter for carrying(especially biz travel) - don't need a bigger screen, and when I'm plugged in at work I simply connect to a full size desk monitor (which gives me two displays to work with). Not thrilled with Apple's decision to minimize ports - that limits flexibility IMO, and it's a pain to pay more to add peripherals needed for office work. That's the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me. Other than that, I'm very happy with the product's performance.

Light and nice but some of the slots on the older model is removed and you have to buy an adapter so not so nice. New electrical cable not compatible so can’t share with the older model.

I had done a lot of research and was skeptical about this purchase. I am an Apple fan and I have many other Apple products (iPhone, iWatch, iPad) but I couldn't justify spending over $1000 on a laptop when I don't use social media, edit pictures or films, etc. Just a nursing student who has to do a lot of research and typing. However, after mixed Youtube reviews and many issues with Windows (and the stability of my previous Apple products) I made the leap. It has been well worth it. Microsoft office has been better, the simplicity (once you get used to the switch), the ability to link my iCloud, and the ease of everything) has made this first time purchase well worth it. The lack of all the extra ports is not that serious. Adapters are available and most people use online storage anyway. I've bought all of my previously mentioned Apple devices from BB; actually this is the MacBook the customer service representative helped me pick out. Very helpful! This is a must have!

This is an execllent laptop and I love how it works with my iPhone and iPad! It works so smooth! My only issue is that it only has two ports on there, requiring me to purchase adapter hubs. Overall, it was a great purchase!

This computer is a good college laptop. Has enough power to handle photo and video editing, while being light and portable. Solid battery life. Great Screen. One downside is needing adapters to use any of the ports.

Wow! This Macbook is so sleek compared to older models and so much lighter. My only complaint is that it is frustrating to have to buy a bunch of adapters because of the style of ports, but it does charge quickly!

Many improvements over my previous MacBook--speed of the processor, outstanding display, better touch keyboard, much lighter weight. Fewer ports, but thunderbolt port plus device gives me adequate connectability for my use.

Fast, light weight, long lasting battery. Not enough ports.

Recently had to replace my Macbook Pro from 2011. This is, of course, half the weight, which I love. While it pretty much does everything I need it to for work, I hate not having ports and the inability to review a disk or memory card if I need to. Yes, I get that I can get an adapter and the reason they're so slim and lightweight is yada, yada, yada. I also wish they'd left the little pinhole light on the end of the charging cord (orange charging, green charged). I seldom have my sound turned on and am always unsure if it's charging unless I open it and look. Mirroring is another issue. All in all, though, I have no major complaints. Love Mac quality.

Its super fast very slim the only drawback i felt is it has nly 2 USB-C ports, it doesn't have any other ports.
