This MacBook Pro is a thing of beauty. Its fast in every way, so light that I can carry it every where, and it has yet to crash on me. Connects to my Apple TV's around the house without a problem. Now as for why I am disappointed is I needed to purchase a USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter. Its the only way to be able to charge my phone with it. I need to use one to connect my portable hard drives and well anything that needs a USB port. The adapter was only $10 but its the principle that they could've added at least one on the Pro.

Macpro in2017 is an amazing product, not just display, but is fast initiation and easy to use. The only weakness is you need to buy extra usb adaptor in order to transfer the documents.

I was always a PC user. I decided to buy a Mac after using one of my friends for years. This MacBook is the best purchase I’ve ever made. It is so fast and has about nine hours of battery life if you take off that apps you don’t need. It’s lightweight and different from the MacBook from 2012. I love the keyboard. The only downside is that it does not have a USB port BUT, to buy an adapter is only $10 at Best Buy. Best Buy is the best place to purchase Apple products because they do price comparison with Apple. Including their student discounts. They also price match Apple care which now covers drops, cracks, total destruction - everything except lost/stolen MacBooks. I am loyal to Best Buy. And now that I purchased this Mac, I will always go back!

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 wanted to buy a new laptop for professional programming, and since Windows is too annoying (it does all sorts of things in the background without telling you) I decided to buy a mac. After some research I found out that this 8GB-RAM 128GB-Storage Macbook Pro is already good enough for me. First, some extra stats that are not listed in the specs, if you want to do the research: Resolution: 2560 x 1600 Storage taken by OS: 28GB Pro: 1. Good CPU & 8GB-RAM is very powerful for a laptop used for work. 2. SSD means super fast loading time. Opening a project with JetBrains IDEs (include: start IDE, load project, finish background tasks) used to take around a minute on my old laptop, but now it only takes a few seconds. I even tried loading a game (Stellaris) and the loading time is probably 5 ~ 10 times less than before. 3. Retina display gives a very good resolution for a 13 inch screen. Cons: 1. 13 inch is kind of small. Although Retina gives you a good resolution, the small font size is not ideal if you want to protect your eyesight. (I'm planning to get a secondary monitor; will update then) 2. There are only 2 USB-C ports, and you need to buy adapters for USB/HDMI or other kinds of ports. I bought a multiport adapter which costed $69. (see pic) 3. The bottom of the laptop is completely sealed, and there are only two small air outlets on the far side (see pic). The laptop got really hot during my test run with Stellaris. But since I will only use this laptop for work it won't be a problem for me - just something for you to consider.

I've used MacBooks for a little over a decade. This is the 4th I've owned, and my least favorite so far. What I love: I use my Pro primarily for photo processing. I love the retina display, reliability, processing power, and battery life. It's why I own a MacBook Pro. Specific to this version, I love that the speakers are now on right on top, and that the new charger does not use magnets. However, I don't want to give Apple a lot of credit for simply fixing their own bad designs. What I find annoying: This pro has two USB-C ports and a an aux port. That's it. No USB ports, no SD card, no DisplayPort or Thunderbolt Port. I thought I could live with it, but it's absolutely aggravating. I need a $30 adaptor to pull images off my SD card, another $30 adaptor to transfer them to my external hard drive, and once those two are plugged in, I'm out of ports. I can't even charge my computer while transferring images but that uses one of the USB-C ports. What I hate: The keyboard and trackpad. You use them for everything you do - and I hate them. The keys are difficult to press, too big, too flat, too close together - something. I can't tell you exactly what it is about them, but I hate them. And I hate the noise they make. Similarly, I hate the trackpad. I can't tell you what it is specifically about the Force Touch trackpad that makes me hate it so much, but I absolutely do hate it. At this point, I don't care if the machine is beautiful or powerful, it is almost too annoying to use, and that makes it fairly useless to me.

This review is really intriguing to me because this MacBook “Pro” is amazing for me and people like me that have a desk job like I have. I put the PRO in Quotation marks not because it is not a pro machine; but because pro has been confiscated by many to mean video/photo editing at 5K and 7K raw files. I call this mac a pro computer because professional means so much more than that. This computer is pro partly due to the fact that when combined with the rest of the Apple ecosystem everything from sending/sharing files to having all of your contacts and Apple products just work without fuss. Now, I know that the hero there is the software not the hardware; however, when combined, this computer can not be beat. When it comes to the hardware, the screen is gorgeous, the weight is perfect and the aluminum construction is top notch; but to mention that the keyboard is a pleasure to type on. Why does this matter to me; well it matters because my job requires a great deal of typing and interacting with docs of all kinds. The typing experience on this computer is simply amazing and puts it over the 12 inch MacBook in my opinion. This is where software and hardware come together to form something special. I have the base model which is up to the task with everything I have thrown at it so far. Everything even includes the one time I had to edit a 4K video at 60 fps. The major issue people point to with this computer is the inclusion of only 2 USB-C ports. I for one have not had to live the dongle life as almost everything I do happens with iCloud. Once the doc is saved on my computer, it is automatically saved to all of my other Apple products! I did purchase a USB-C docking station that has all types of ports in the back and connects my laptop to a 4K display, all with just one cable! In other words, I never find myself needing an SD card, Ethernet connection, USB port or Video Out port while out on the road. I only need those things while in the office and the docking station works great for that. In my opinion this is the best MacBook Pro for office professionals! Super glad that I have it.

Absolutely love this computer. Super fast. Easy access to applications. Convenient to use. However when purchasing this computer you will need to buy additional accessories for it. Apple made it so that there are no USB ports, therefore you have to buy a dongle or other accessories to fit your needs. Other than this minor flaw, this computer is great.

This is my first Apple computer so I don't have much to say apart from the fact that, just as I fell in love with iPhones, I'm never going back to a PC. I purchased this mainly for video editing but because of its portability and other attractive features it's my preferred device for most other things as well. I store large-sized files in an external hard drive, plug in to work with them, and have not had any issues so far. Please note that this computer has a Micro C type USB port, which means that an adaptor is needed in order to plug in standard USBs.

After being stuck with a few other styles/brands that were cheap and easy, I quickly grew frustrated with all their various interface quirks. With my MacBook Pro I am amazed at all the built in features and ease of accessing things I need. I am a blogger so the size of memory was somewhat daunting but a quick fix was an external hard drive which is honestly more convenient! The lack of USB ports may seem off putting if you are transitioning to Apple's newer models, however you will find amazing plug in bars and converters. Personally I love that I don't have a zillion empty plugs waiting for dust to find its way in. Everything about this is perfect for my blogging, photo editing, and just basic school and work functions!

Traded in my 2011 MacBook Air for a new MacBook Pro and wow! The display and colors are so vivid, faster, and doesn’t weigh much at all. Only downfall is the headphone port is for the older style headphones (3.5mm headphones) and it doesn’t have a plugin for the lightning connector headphones. It wasn’t a big deal but just a heads up. Oh and there’s no USB port, only 2 USB-C. I had to purchase a USB-C to USB adapter to use my flash drives and such.

I love this laptop. It’s lightweight. I can take it everywhere. Battery life has been good so far. No major issues. It sucks that it doesn’t have any ports like HDMI, SD, USB but the dongle I bought has been working just fine. I can edit pictures, everything is super fast and I like the connectivity between my iPhone and my Mac.

Lightweight and fast, had the features I need. Had to buy an adapter since it doesn't have regular USB ports which is annoying

This is my first Macbook and i am completely satisfied with the product. Great looks..excellent processing speed..great display and good battery back-up.I was a bit skeptical in the beginning to shift from Windows to Mac but i should say that i dont miss the flexibility that windows offers as Mac has it all and more to that, the build of laptops is extremely sturdy and solid.The retina display is just perfect and the keypad&touch pad are pretty responsive. The only thing i miss are those extra ports to connect devices, which should have been accommodated somehow on the Mac, but luckily there are many adapters available to convert the USB-C to technically any other port. I got one for $40 that can convert USB-c to DVI/VGA/HDMI/USB. All-in-all, its a great product and worth that extra buck you pay for it.

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

The new MacBook Pro is really thin and light which is a must for me in purchasing a laptop. It has two USB-C ports and you immediately need an adapter for your devices. I wish it came with at least two more ports and maybe for the price Apple could have thrown in the adapter. The display and colors are absolutely gorgeous. In terms of battery life, I find the 10-hour claim to be almost true.

+ 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

This is a reliable and easy computer to use. Apple computers rarely get viruses so the need for an antivirus software is not needed, which is great! It’s light weight. The space grey is astheticaly pleasing color. I love that it’s easy to navigate and I can sync my phone to my computer. The only downfall is that it lacks usb- lightning, hdmi, and sd ports. It only comes with 2 usb-c port and the earbud jack. That is my only disregard but other than that love this computer!

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.

The screen and the keyboard are my favorite features with this Macbook model. The large trackpad does not bother me, and the speed is great. I am also glad that this Macbook has two fans compared to the Macbook air that I previously had. I wish this model has at least two more USB C ports with an added USB 3.0 port. I do not mind the dongle life, but not when they are $50 plus.
