No complaints. However, if you are planning on installing Microsoft Windows onto your MacBook I would highly recommend the 256gb storage option. Windows will honestly take a little less than your storage (70GB).

Apple is such a well rounded and trusted brand. I already have a iMac which I use for music making and video editing so when I purchased the MacBook Pro for my wife so she could edit on the go, we were not let down as the transition from desktop to laptop seemed minimal. The MacBook Pro is just as powerful and fast as the iMac, and even handles multitasking without slowing down other programs. The battery life is good the sound is incredible. My only complaint besides no USB, is that memory storage can go fast, as you would expect for a laptop, however thats why their are external hard drives. In all if this is a computer your are looking into for editing or creating music by all means pick this up.

I had a hard time deciding between this and the 2017 MacBook to replace an old MacBook Air. The MacBook is lighter and has twice as much internal storage. This 13" MacBook Pro has a larger, brighter screen and more powerful processor, and weighs about the same as the MacBook Air. In the end, the larger screen and better processor won me over. One concern was that the keyboard would be horrible. After a little more than a week of use, I've adapted. It's not a great keyboard. I'm still getting used to the up/down arrow keys being positioned differently than on the MacBook Air. The short-travel keys are not as comfortable to type on for long periods of time, and it's resulted in my missing a few letters every now and then. But I'm gradually getting faster and more consistent on it. It just sucks that the user has to adapt to it instead of it being designed to better facilitate the user. Another concern was battery life. The MacBook and MacBook Pro are both officially rated at 10 hours of battery life, but from what I read, I was concerned the MacBook Pro would have trouble actually achieving that. Using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to do general media consumption and basic tasks, I'm seeing about 6-9 hours of battery life depending on load. That's not terrible, but disappointing when the advertised battery life is 10 hours. Overall, though, this is a great laptop. I just wish it had come with 256GB of internal storage for the price.

This most recent model of Macbook Pro (2017) comes in a slick design and offers great and fast performance. The Retina Display is amazing. The only caveat for the model I purchased is that it comes with only a 128 GB hard disk (you can get the bigger storage hard disk for a higher price though). I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.

Bought this with the 150$ off sale and 100$ college student discount. Also had 1% ebates...came out to around 260$ off which was great. The deals brought it lower than the Surface Laptop which was one of my top choices. The build on this laptop is great. Solid screen with around 450+ nits and the Apple trackpads are great as usual. The butterfly keys are loud, but they start to feel real nice to use once you get used to it. I also really like the improved generation (I had the 2015 mbp13) and the weight difference is definitely noticeable even if its only a .5- 1 pound difference. The Space Grey looks really sleek and solid. 256gb model is definitely a necessity. I originally had the 128gb but I decided to future proof a little more and go with the 256gb since storage is not expandable. (For someone who flies drones, and does editing 4K videos as a hobby, space can fill up quick). I do believe though that 128gb is still doable if you just use it for basic uses (word processing, youtube, surfing) Touchbar- I really feel its a gimmick right now. is it nice? Yes. Is it worth a 300$ upgrade? no way. Overall, when you get this at a discount, it is a solid laptop, with solid customer service, and if you use other apple products, the ecosystem is a no-brainer to connect to rest of your mac devices.

I want to start off by stating I teetered on returning this computer for days. It wasn't a bad performing machine, but I wasn't sure the value was there, and I say that as someone with 10 Apple devices attached to my id. I'm no stranger to the Apple tax, but I just didn't feel this computer was as deserving. Its also important to note that I purchased this laptop when it was on sale for $1049. Above this price and it gets even harder to justify. The truth is, however, what choice do you have if you want a MacBook these days? The MacBook Air is priced lower, but is an aged design dogged mostly by its pitiful screen. The MacBook pros with touch bars are wildly more expensive for their gimmick feature that has been a quantitative failure. These more expensive models also needle$$ly hold the extra ports and higher clock speeds hostage from the non Touch Bar models. I'm a touch typing software developer, I like having the row of physical function keys. There's also the 'Macbook' but its generally the same price for vastly less CPU power in exchange for high base storage space. I really considered that model but the 'Pro' was on sale at the time, 128GB is in my opinion ridiculous for a 'Pro' computer. I'm getting by on it, but this laptop is, for me, not my primary machine, I use it on the go, and then work mostly on an iMac at home. I dunno, its just not a great time for apple laptops at the moment. The USB-C revolution hasn't arrived yet. None of the iPhones can even connect to a MacBook without a separate cable purchase. The pricing seems high, even for Apple. The MacBook lineup is central in an unexpectedly, currently, disjointed ecosystem for Apple. I'm going to say 'Yes' to the recommend to a friend question, but the truth is it would seriously depend. I think most non-power users would be better served by the 'MacBook'. I think that the Air is past its time and the Touch Bar models are a gimmick, and if this is your only computer don't even bother with the 128GB model.

I upgraded from an older MacBook that has lasted me 9 years (who keeps a laptop for 9 YEARS?! Talk about QUALITY!!) and I needed something that was light and fast & had the capabilities to handle all of the programs i use for school and i wanted something i wouldn't have to replace in 2 or 3 years. After lengthy debate and research i decided to stay with Mac. I'm used to the system, and I wanted something that would last a long time, and I would be able to easily transfer my files and setting over to the new machine. I chose to get the 10GB version because I have a 2TB external hard drive & various clouds for my files. I don't use iTunes like I used to (that was the majority of my space on my old Mac), I don't keep pictures, etc. SO I don't need that much space. This was cheaper & I get the same quality. It's great!!

I ABSOLUTELY love this laptop! I have the absolute base model for this MacBook Pro, and the only complaint that I have would be that I am almost out of storage as I have the 121 gb flash storage. I feel like this computer packs a MASSIVE punch in performance despite being the base model for this laptop. Apple gives its consumers a type of amazing status with their products. I feel like I am envied, and like I have class with this device!

This is by far the best apple macbook for someone in budget. Yes the Macbook Air is offered for 300$ cheaper yet for the quality of this product, the bright and crisp display, sturdy built quality, quality of parts and finish and overall its the latest generation processor with the latest deisgn. I suggest you go for this or the 256 GB model to save money and still get the same experience rather than going for the touch bar model which is a little expensive if u are on a budget. Prefferred over the Air as I have both for different purposes! Highly recommend product and combined with the best prices at bestbuy, it is a bang for the buck !! Bestbuy service is always excellent!!

Size is great for on the go computing, and not too much flash to deal with, just a great computer for a great price that doesn't take up too much of a desk. Lightweight too for travelling.

+ Great battery life (from apple in charge of hardware and software together) +Trackpad is of very generous size and very very buttery smooth +Unibody metal design, built like a tank +Super bright screen, good for outdoor use +/- Retina display; is nice, but realistically just a "marketing ploy"; 1920x1080 would've been fine, but this is just fine too, how close is your face to your laptop screen? - Keyboard has very low travel - Lowest spec only has 2 usb c ports - No more MagSafe 2 magnetic charger - Lowest spect for $1,300 only comes with 128gb; I can do with 128gb, but for this premium price at least 256gb. $200+ to upgrade from 128gb to 256gb is a greaaat deal Apple

I bought this laptop after returning my other Windows laptop. On paper, configuration looks lower than other Windows laptops available in market but when it comes to the speed there is no comparison. 128GB hard disk space is little less but you can easily expand it by buying an external hard disk for much cheaper price than upgrading to 256GB model. It's small, sleek and stylish and doesn't feel heavy on ur lap even after long hours of usage. Although display is small but watching a movie is still a pleasure on Retina display.

I'll start by saying that I do have a bias towards Apple products. I love the attention to design and the reliability of the software and hardware. I bought this computer specifically to be used for school and web browsing. It only has a 128 GB solid state ( my iPad has the same amount of storage). Most of what I work on is uploaded to a cloud service, such as iCloud or OneDrive. For what I need it do, it works perfectly. The keyboard feels good even if the keys are pretty flat. You get a responsive click that just feels good. The Force touch track pad works wonderfully and makes it feel like you are clicking when you in fact aren't. This model came with two USB C ports and a 3.5mm headphone port. I bought a USB C 'hub' that allows me to connect USB devices, an HDMI cable, a USB C port with which I can charge the computer. I don't love the lack of ports on the computer. Although it would be wonderful to one day have a universal connector that can perform various tasks, we're not there yet. The lack of ports is a slight inconvenience, not a cool minimalist design. Overall this laptop is great, and I would buy it again if I had to. I only weep for the days when MacBook Pro's were powerhouses equipped with sufficient storage and not fancy netbooks with decent processors.

I always wanted an Apple laptop and it didn't disappoint! Great build quality with the all aluminum body. Super fast, just wish it had a bit more built in storage.

If you are a MacBook enthusiast like me then you will LOVE this computer. This is a computer for people who DO NOT game or run multiple programs that consume a lot of processing power. However, if you are like me that and hate waiting for programs or sites to load then have no fear this is the computer for you. 8GB of onboard RAM is more than enough for most people but this amount of memory makes it so that you can run multiple programs and change between them or use them both concurrently without any lag time or waiting for something to load or heaven forbid you see that dreaded pinwheel. Yes the hard drive storage space is only 128GB, however it is a solid state drive (ridiculously fast and has no moving components) like a standard hard drive which has a disk that spins inside of it. The memory is small at 128GB but I have a 4TB external drive so storage is not no concern for me. If you are the same way the. I can’t stress how amazing this computer is. Again this is not for gamers!

This is just a great laptop. Lite weight yet powerful. Exactly what I needed for classes. Didn't spend a lot on HD space since I use an external hard drive. Worth the money for sure!

Really love my new MacBook, but I’m still getting used to the programs that are way different from my previous windows laptop. I just wished I would have purchase the 256GB rather than the 128GB,but I just invested in an external hard drive. Very happy with this purchase!

I bought this for a personal music studio and for school, it is perfect, altough im going to need to buy an external hardrive due to the limited HD that his one has...

This is a five star computer--the feel, the computing speed, the weight--all are wonderful and meet/exceed expectations. The four star rating is because of the need for external storage due to limited size of hard drive and for attachments to access even the hard drive. Shame on Apple for pulling this stunt; praise to Apple for support and help they have provided many times.

I purchased my 13" Macbook Pro mainly for editing images in Lightroom and Photoshop. I bought the bottom of the line model and was nervous that it wouldn't have the processing power that these programs demand. So far this computer has been able to do all that I've wanted it to and more. I also love that the battery life is long lasting. The only downside I can think of is the hard drive is small, but I bought a 500GB SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD external drive (highly recommended) to take care of my storage needs.
