I am a fan of Apple Products and I love my MacBook Pro - 13" display. It is small, light, and works like a champ. It does exactly what I want.

I'm not a editor of any sort, but this MacBook Pro has been perfect for me since I'm integrated into the Apple eco system. Between my Apple Watch, iPhone, AirPods, the MacBook works so well with all of other tech. I typically use my MacBook for internet surfing, word documentation, and listening to music. I purchased a MacBook Air previous, but I was disappointed by the battery life and returned it. But this 13" MacBook Pro has great battery life even having a Quad-Core processor. I don't regret buy this machine for my lifestyle!

I am and will forever be an Apple guy. The upgrade to my wife's MacBook Pro was a must. There are a lot of similarities to her previous MacBook but with some cool new features. The newer version does lose some points for eliminating a basic feature like the USB port. I can see eliminating this in the Air version but I would have expected this feature to be standard on the Pro. My wife is a teacher and needs to have a USB port to connect various components to her computer. They do offer and adaptor and I was able to purchase one on sale directly from Best Buy (thank you) but Apple always seems to find a way to get you to purchase additional pieces to your devices when they release a new product. All in all, my wife loves her new MacBook and the additional features like the Touch Bar. Although she is has had a MacBook for the past five years, this new one took some getting used to for her.

I bought this to replace a 2010 17" dual-core i5 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. It was a machine I loved, but after a decade, it started experiencing frequent kernel panics, and eventually would not start at all. This was the best machine I could afford brand new, and while it lands in a spot similar to Apple's MPB lineup as my 17" i5 did in 2010, this machine is so incredibly fast due to its all-flash architecture (WHICH I HAD NO IDEA WAS A THING that I could have at the price paid... I thought only Mac Pros were like this,) that I almost feel sorry for the old me that was stuck with what I now regard as a rickety old JOKE of a machine... and that was a computer I loved! I was most apprehensive about the dramatically smaller screen on this model as compared to my old MBP, but the Retina display makes this machine *feel* the same as the 17" did in terms of sheer pixels to work with, if a tad smaller, naturally. In short, I am writing this review for anyone who has never used a Retina (re: flash-bashed) machine before, and is still slogging it out on an old-school HDD-based Mac; switching to this (or similar) gives you the same feeling you had the first time you got an iPhone, GPS, or the Internet... you wondered how you ever muddled by without it!!!! It is that much better... like using an iPad in terms of speed and instant response. I am in love with this razor-thin computer, and I have not even said one thing about the color gamut of the screen, or the Touch Bar, or the 10,000 other improvements, because just the sheer SPEED of the this beast has my mind BOGGLED. LOVE!!!!!!!

What can you say about them? They are a luxury experience from unboxing to operation. I’ve been a windows pc guy my whole life, and this is my first Mac. Always ready to use, battery lasts all day, gestures are wonderful once you get a hang of them (very quick to learn) and the operating system is fast and capable. I was not sure about no function keys, but I’ve grown to enjoy how useful the Touch Bar is. Easy operating system for everyone to use, young and old. It’s a great computer.

Very nice laptop. Thin and fast processor help make this a winner. Touch bar takes a little getting used to but nice touch. Only complaints are small hard drive and ape care is way to expensive when they also charge you a copay. Not worth getting the coverage.

First time owning a Mac book after using my wife’s for a while love it. Especially the Touch Bar it makes using it much easier. Long battery life better screen and display.
Only thing I miss is the usb 2.0 not included. Have to buy another accessory for it.
Laptop comes with a USB C charger wish it came with the magnetic tip charger for the older version which I think is much safer and prevents tripping over the charger and dragging the laptop with you.
Longer charger would have been a plus.

Love it, I am by far more impressed by this model MacBook Pro than I was by my previous MacBook pro which was a 2014 model. And I was in love with that one too. The Touch Bar is an awesome new addition to the MacBook Pro that I never anticipated, so it was a great surprise. I would definitely recommend this model MacBook to anyone that is in the market for a dependable, fast and just all together fantastic laptop. It might not be cheap, but remember you get what you pay for. ;-)

It's a good laptop with some cool features. The battery life lasts pretty long, and the touch bar is really handy to have. Only problem is the USB port, you have to buy an adapter and no CD drive. That was a deal breaker for me so I ended up returning it.

I love this laptop!! I have been a MacBook lover for years, but my last MacBook Pro was 9 years old and it was time for a new one. I really wanted the super expensive one but I couldn’t afford it so I got this one and I’m no longer disappointed about not getting the one I really wanted. This laptop is awesome!! It is perfect for my needs and is not a pain to lug around. The battery last forever but most things do when they were new...but I do love it and have no regrets about purchasing it.

Almost a year later and it’s still running great. This is my first MacBook and I love it. Only issue I have is it over heats a bit and of course space. But since I’m using it just for school work it works great

I tried out the MacBook Air and loved it, but a few days later this one went on sale so I made this purchase. I use this for my online classes and I haven't had any problems at all. The speeds are incredible and the typing experience feels natural. I really have come to enjoy the touchbar as well. I had trouble at first with the flash drives because the computer was not allowing me to eject them. I tried 5 different flash drives and each one had the same problem. I talked to Apple support and they were not able to find the solution. The Macbook Air I had for a few days had the same problem. I figured out that quicklook was running in the background and you have to go to the activity monitor to force quit it each time. Besides this small problem, I have nothing but good things to say about this MacBook Pro!
