Best computer ever. Beautiful screen and user friendly

sometimes shuts down for no reason, otherwise I love it.

Nice laptop but apple insurance is high with a high deductible.

Great so far, Thanks Sam for helping me out. Great Service.

Seems good and fast ! Granite I’ve never owned a previous Mac ? ! ?

Have not used this much. As have had apple products in past.

Always wanted a MacBook for work. It didn’t disappoint.

I’m on my laptop all the time actually more than my phone.

To preface, I have used both MacBooks and Windows laptops, and I'm coming to this MacBook Pro from using a Surface Pro 4 since 2015. Design: I have yet to see an Apple product that isn't incredibly well built, and this Macbook is no exception. It feels extremely solid, and the design is timeless... for the most part. It doesn't really bother me coming from the Surface Pro 4 which also had fairly large bezels, but placed next to something like the XPS 13, the MacBook Pro can seem dated. Display: The Macbook Pro's display is gorgeous and color accurate. It gets very bright (up to 500 nits) and has low reflectivity for a glossy screen. The resolution is high enough that at normal viewing distances, you can't make out individual pixels. Additionally, the 16:10 aspect ratio is nice for productivity by giving you more vertical real estate. True Tone is also nice to have but certainly not a dealmaker. Trackpad and Keyboard: Macbook trackpads are the best in the business: period. They're smooth, accurate, and incredibly spacious. As for the keyboard, you should test it out in store before buying (or wait for the rumored update later this year). I personally like the butterfly switches, but your mileage may vary. Apple's earlier history with the butterfly keyboard is filled with stories of unreliability, but I haven't heard any of that about this 4th iteration (yet). Also keep in mind that you are covered for 4 years under Apple's keyboard warranty if you buy this Macbook. Battery Life: This is the main reason why I was ready to upgrade; the battery life on my Surface Pro 4 wasn't very good from the start and it obviously only became worse over time. With daily computing tasks (Microsoft Office, many open Safari tabs, VPN, YouTube, etc.) at a reasonable brightness, I can easily get about 10 hours of use. Performance: Performance has been consistently snappy since I got this MacBook Black Friday weekend. Applications open rapidly, and the computer rarely stutters. It benchmarks slower than the latest windows laptops with Ice Lake CPUs, but I haven't had any real world complaints. It's also worth mentioning that this MacBook Pro 13 inch is only marginally slower than its more expensive $1800 counterpart. I/O: As someone who doesn't plug his computer into peripherals often, I'm not too affected by only having 2 thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. Again, this will depend on your personal use case. Speakers: The speakers sound great, but they're still laptop speakers. Touch Bar: I personally enjoy using the Touch Bar, and many productivity apps take advantage of it. Granted, I have never used the function keys much on any of my computers, so that will likely be something to consider. I do think that MacBooks would benefit from touch functionality directly baked into the display, but I know Apple doesn't want to encroach on the iPad. Misc: I don't want this review to seem like a knock on the Surface line of products. I loved my Surface Pro 4, but I just felt like switching back to a Mac for a while. As a tech head, I like to keep one appendage in every operating system (I have an iPad, an Android phone, and a Windows desktop I built). If you're not dead set on a Mac, there are a lot of good options on the Windows side too. Choice and competition is great for the consumer at the end of the day :) But if you do want a Macbook, this is the sweet spot.

Bought for my nephew for school he loves it all the new updates

Overall great product amazing system but keyboard still trash

I returned this item as it was out of my price range
