Customer Ratings & Reviews

I will start with the one thing I didn't like about this product and thats the hard drive space, this is a very fast laptop and the hard drive is fast as well but in 2018 -256GB is just not enough. I would recommend this over any other laptop out right now but get more space up front! On to the good stuff -performance - I decided to get the base Touch Bar model that just came out because I wanted to see if the 8GB of ram plus those new processors would do what I needed it to do. I just have to say it hasn't let me down yet and I was surprised, I use this for video editing and photo editing, along with other graphics art projects and even with many things open it does very well and only gets a little warm when exporting video. I use this thing all the time and the one thing I wish is more hard drive space I haven't even noticed it being slow at all with the lower specs and thats saying something because I normally get the 15" MacBook Pro's but when going from 2015 model I never felt the need to upgrade till this year and the time is right specs wise. - build quality - So I really enjoy the size and quality of this laptop and I know there have been all sorts of things negative about the new MacBooks but I really like this new keyboard and its a dream to type on ( for me at least go test one in store for your self ) this is a big improvement if you ask me over last year. then the chassis and screen all seem to be nice sturdy and great build quality I have not found another laptop that I feel has this same quality build wise. - size - Ok I know everyone wants small and smaller but I think that if these things got any smaller for my pro machine I wouldn't want it. This thing will fit anywhere and having the 13" with this much power is great and I can use it places I never would before. -screen - Im not that big into no bezels like everyone else I would prefer sturdy non breaking screen over a full display any day. But this is on par with what you expect from apple it works and looks beautiful along with the new color match stuff built in to color correct in different lighting ( I turn this off for photo and video editing ). Also this doesn't just flip down on me when I move around and it doesn't have a ton of shake that you see in a lot of small form factor laptops, again this part feels sturdy. - Touch Bar - I love the computer but this I could live with or with out it ... I mean it does provide use and can make selecting things faster and I don't really like touch screen laptops so this is a good alternative. But you would have to make your self learn to use it and sometimes it might be easier to move the mouse sometimes its better to leave your hands and select on the Touch Bar ( but I would like the buttons back they moved like esc, just incase ) - Mouse - I see some saying its to big and takes up to much space but this is the only laptop I have found I like to work with out an external mouse and it feels weird to me when you go to other computers in the house and their mouse is so tiny and can't move screen edge to edge. Then I have not had any problems hitting it while I type and I even made it a point to keep my palms down when I type and still nothing, check that for your self because it could be different with different people. But this part makes working easier and feels very nice to use and touch. - ports - Just have to say it but the ports could at times slow you down a little but I really haven't noticed any differences and I just buy things for the USB C and they work and they are fast. Hasn't been a problem and if you need the device for the power and can afford it I would say get it and grab a few USB C things like SD reader and a few adapters till you get swapped out or just incase and you will be just fine! One little thing when doing things with this SSD and USB C storage things move around pretty quick like photo files ( maybe its a good thing but I would have liked one USB or SD port lol ) Over all I am happy I waited till 2018 to upgrade my personal machine and I think this is the time to get a MacBook Pro because I think the look and hardware are better now than in the last few editions. I would recommend and do enjoy this laptop, I will be getting an external screen for home use and screen size and the external hard drive. Get more space up front and if you know you can't work on 13" then spend a few more dollars and go bigger but for the size and price with the options now to get eGPU and hook up and external monitor this is the perfect travel size and power to boot.

I purchased this laptop in September in store for my new college semester for java coding and for everything. This laptop will not disappoint! It has a beautiful display and the quad core i5 processor makes it very sleek and fast so you can do all your work easily. The design is beautiful with a gorgeous display. It is so slim and portable with lots of power. The absolute only thing is that the battery could have been better by 1 to 2 hours more. Besides that, this 2019 version is amazing and everything you’re looking for in a MacBook, ideal for college students packed with portability and power.

Right from when it came out of the box, i have been thrilled with it. It is replacing my Dell Inspiron purchased in 2017. My first Mac and i really enjoy it. It was easy to set up, runs well and has great battery life. I edit 4K footage from my drone in Final Cut Pro X. There is no issue or lag with the Intel Iris chip. I also record podcasts, and GarageBand makes it a breeze. 10/10 would recommend

This laptop is amazing, I absolutely love it! The reviews I read before buying this said the same thing and mentioned it gets hot but I haven't had that problem at all. The touchbar is awesome and very easy to use; it changes depending on what your doing and gives you easy access to the common buttons you would use! It is fast and very user friendly! And the fingerprint reader is a wonderful addition and makes logging in super easy! Great laptop for college!

I use that Touch Bar constantly. It’s great for listening, editing, and toggling between music. It’s no gimmick, and I’m very happy with the speed and response time of my MacBook. The only complaint I’d have is that the computer is simply too fast to download some of my favorite apps, but that’s not Apples fault I’m sure. Just some app updates, which I’m sure won’t be too far off, will fix this issue. All in all, very happy with my MacBook Pro.

When you think of Apple you automatically think expensive if your anything like me. When purchasing this laptop I was skeptical on rather if I should get a fully equipped HP, Dell, or just get an Apple. Just an Apple was my choice because of the brand name, but also because Apple products are always one of the best designs on the market. Apple products are one of the most durable brands on the market as well. With the fully the aluminum body, touch bar, and superior speakers this computer is undeniable. One thing that I do not like is the ports. There are four ports on the laptop, but the ports are USB-C which makes the normal functions a little more difficult to get used to. When it comes to Apple the flaws or the unexpected changes that may be an inconvenience is also what created this brand as superior and is the reason why they can charge you three arms and three legs for a computer. The brand name is established, the style is second to none, and the computer is also one of the best offered. Once you get past the honeymoon phase then buyers remorse it's overall worth it.

It has super fast processor and the touch bar with word suggestions is brilliant.

This computer is awesome, does everything I need it to do and more. It is fast and reliable especially when starting. The only draw back is I keep on hitting the Touch Bar when working with windows and I keep changing the fonts which can get annoying. Other than that I love this computer.

This is my first mac snd it blew me away. Computing with a mac was my dream and now i am so glad that this laptop is not only fast but very functional. This is the only tech gadget i’ll ever need aside from my iphone.

Apple has always been reliable for me so when it came to picking out a laptop for my business macbook pro was a no brainer. Great for my photo and video editing needs along with the quick load times that made my website building a breeze.

The MacBook Pro is an amazing product it is very easy to use. I would totally recommend it!!

Currently a college student and i recommend this MacBook Pro for students as it will last a long time not like those Microsoft computers.

I’m very satisfied with the services Best Buy provided; MacBook was intact, working perfectly and shipping was fast.

I'm very happy for my purchase; the product it's excellent and I hope to have more good experiences in the future

I Love It... Great MacBook For my Job!!! I Recommend

Specs At its core there’s a coffee Lake i5 8259u which is a quad-core processor with a base frequency of 2.3 Ghz and can turbo boost up to 3.8 Ghz. It has a beautiful retina 13.3 display with a resolution of 2560-by-1600 with p3 color gamut and it is quite bright (up to 500 nits of brightness). The display offers great color reproduction so if you’re a photo editor or video editor, you would be very pleased with the display. The MacBook Pro 2018 with Touch Bar has touch id with a beautiful OLED strip that can be used for different shortcuts. It also has very huge trackpad that is a delight to use. Design This MacBook Pro is carved from a block of aluminum and its truly stunning. This iconic design was first showed off in the 2016 MacBook Pro, at the time; it is by far one of best design laptop. However nowadays Pc manufacturers make computers with different premium materials. It doesn’t mean that the MacBook Pro design is subpar nowadays or anything, it’s still one of the best looking laptop. Performance The geekbench score of the i5 model is 4451 for the single core while 16453 for the multi-core. Performance is really good with this MacBook Pro, it’s better than typical Windows Pc with an eighth generation intel core i5 on paper. Because it’s a custom chip for Apple which has a higher TDP than standard Intel i5 chip found in Pc. The i5-8259u has a TDP of 28w while a common intel i5-8250 found in many Pc has TDP of 15w. Price The price maybe hard to swallow, but the MacBook Pro offers plenty of power, great software (I’m not saying Windows is bad but Mac os has a very deep continuity to IOS, which is very intuitive and can be productive), and the design is pretty good. Pros and Cons Pros-Power, Display, Trackpad Cons-Price, It gets hot I have previously used a Windows laptop and I was looking at the HP SPECTRE X360 but after seeing the MacBook Pro on discount, I bought and I’m just amazed at the performance and smoothness of the MacBook Pro. Is it worth it for college students and overall average users.

I bought this to replace my 2011 Macbook pro and I love it! This Macbook is so fast and light weight. I love the touchpad even though I dont use it as much but I have only had the laptop for 5 days so I am sure I will get more use out of it. I did lots of research before getting this MBP, originally I got the MBA because its cheaper and I dont do any video or picture editing but a few days after I got the MBA I found a great deal on amazon for this MBP and best buy let me price match it so I went with the pro instead which is what I wanted anyway. My 2011 MBP would take about 5 minutes to start but this new MBP starts up within 30 seconds, apps come up very quick, and the browsing is much faster as well. I am still getting used to the keyboard, I like it most days but since I have long fingernails its going to take me a little while to get used to the keyboard. Its very lightweight, I compared it to my old MBP and its much smaller and thinner and I like that because its all about portability these days. I have an apple watch and I love that I can unlock my laptop with my apple watch if I have it on. I also love being able to use my fingerprint to unlock the laptop, pay for things, and log into sites. I am happy I got a great deal, while I did like the MBA I am more of a MBP kind of girl so thanks BB for price matching and allowing me to take advantage of a great deal. Apple never disappoints and always produces quality products, I suspect I will have this MBP for a good 7 or 8 years before I have to get another one since thats how long the last one lasted.

I was looking for a computer for phot editing. I always wanted a MacBook Pro because it’s beautiful design and specs. As a Best Buy member, I was able to finally purchase one do to some membership perks.

there has been some problem with the screen， it will flash sometime. I just buy it two month ago

I got the MacBook pro to replace an aging MacMini. Although my family chose windows laptops, after reviewing the specifications, the previous OSX model seemed to be the best choice, given I've primarily used Macs and was mostly interested in Apple's software (Logic, iMovie/FinalCut, etc). I've been pleased with the results. As many sites predicted although slightly less powerful on paper, the integrated Apple architecture performs well and the machine is quiet, cool, fast and easy to use. I also purchased a few non-Apple USB3 to UBS2 connectors - it's silly that Apple didn't include a legacy port. Although I haven't done much intensive work, the Apple software loads super fast -- as does the overall machine. I haven't noticed any issues with the keyboard as some sites report. The Touch Bar is kinda cool, although I suppose another row of buttons would do about the same. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. There is something about the integrated design / hardware of the MacBook Pro which can't be beat...
