Solid Laptop for the price that was purchased

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.

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.

I am a Real Estate Agent. I have this computer hooked up to a 29" ultra wide 4k monitor and it pairs PERFECTLY. At any time I will have about 6-10 documents or pages open and it shows ZERO sign of slowing down or lagging. The keyboard took a little bit of getting familiar with, but now I love it and feel very efficient when typing!
One feature that was a total surprise to me is the Apple Watch "Unlock"! This is AWESOME! If you are wearing your Apple Watch and you go to open your laptop, it will automatically unlock the laptop! No codes, taps, or fingerprints required!
Another great feature I didn't know about was how easy it is to switch from one Mac to another if you use iCloud. I literally put in my Apple ID info and everything instantly transferred from my old iMac to this laptop. Including website shortcuts, passwords, settings, screen savers, documents etc!
I don't have the model with the touch-bar but I honestly didn't see the added value it carried for the extra $3-400 price point. If it's ever $150 more and you also get an additional 2 thunderbolt ports then I'd say it's worth it. Otherwise go with the base model and you'll be more than happy!

Although I have other Apple products (iPhone, watch, iPads, etc), this is my first Apple computer...and I love it! I never considered getting one because of the cost, but so far it seems like it's worth the investment. I'm not a techie kind of person, so specs don't really mean much to me. It just needed to be lightweight, fast, user friendly and reliable. So far, all of those conditions have been met - and then some. Battery life is great, I also love the fact that I can get text messages and I can FaceTime straight from my MacBook Pro!

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.

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!

I have been using this for over a month and love it. It's relatively light and compact and the screen is is very bright, a huge improvement over the MacBook Air that I replaced with this one. Its about the same size and weight but much more powerful. The battery life seems much improved as well. The keyboard is a little different then previous MacBooks but after a short time you get use to it. looking into a 4K monitor to use with this as well and will post an update once i have chosen one.

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.

This version is lighter, thinner, brighter, faster, and runs longer on a charge than the 2011 version it replaces. If this one holds up for as long as the old guy did, we're golden!

Not deserving of 'Pro' but still a nice laptop

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.

We are definitely happy with our purchase of the Macbook Pro. Its pretty, its fast, its smooth. The only downfall is getting used to the Mac OS. We actually had a technical issue in the second week and Apple took care of it and sent it back to our house free of charge. Very happy with the service we got.

Best purchase I’ve made in a long time! My son told me that I should try the MacBook Pro since I had originally been using a regular laptop. I’m not that tech savvy. I can’t believe how easy it is to use. It’s super fast and powerful with a clear screen. Holds a charge for a long time and charges up super fast when needed. Lightweight and portable.
