Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great size, Touch Bar is convenient, speed matches my needs, no lag time streaming movies, good battery life.

Wonderful fast computer. I like how it shuts down and starts up in like 3 seconds. I thought my wife was going to use the touchbar more often than she does. It is nice to have I like using it but it’s not really a necessary upgrade. Like it can save you time going between tabs on the computer, but if you learn the keyboard shortcut that is even faster than the touchbar lol. Still a wonderful computer. Only bad part is you have to buy an adapter because NOTHING USES USB-C PORTS!!!!!!!!!!

I upgraded to this laptop from a mid 2012 MBP. The first thing that I noticed was how much lighter and streamlined the design is now, I was a little worried about losing the USB-A and the SD slot but I purchased a USB-C dock that has all the ports I need. The performance of this machine is top quality. I use it for light photo editing and song creation along with standard browsing/emails/streaming. I see this laptop lasting for several years.

I’ve been waiting for Apple to add the quad core processors to their 13” MacBook Pros for awhile. I was so happy to get this new model due to that. The build quality is amazing. I love the huge trackpad. It’s accuracy, smoothness, and gesture controls are unmatched by any other notebook computer. TouchID is my favorite part of the Touchbar as it makes logging in to the computer, websites/apps, and paying with ApplePay so easy and secure. Additionally, I’m finding the Touchbar and it’s customizations very useful too. Video scrubbing, audio scrubbing, and predictive options for moving email to different folders are great examples of its uncustomized uses. I’ve already customized it to make other features easier for me like screenshots, opening new tabs, and moving YouTube videos into picture-in-picture mode when I’m multitasking. The processor is fast and handles my browsing, emails, video watching, and light video editing well. I haven’t done any heavy video editing yet, but I believe it will do a very good job with that as well. The absolute best part of any MacOS product, though, is how well it works with the ecosystem of other Apple products. Photos and videos I take on my iPhone XS are automatically available in my iCloud Photo Library for pulling into editing on my MacBook. No need to transfer anything with wires. I can pickup right where I left off with iMessages, email, phone calls, and other documents from the phone to the MacBook and back again. My airpods are super simple to switch audio sources. I’m extreme happy with this purchase.

This is my third MacBook Pro. Super fast and much improved than previous generations. I chose the open box item since it was much cheaper than the new one. It fit my needs and thus I was able to save major $$. I definitely recommend the laptop, fast processor, improved keyboard and super clear display. One setback was I have buy extension ports since it only has USB-C connections. All in all, Best Buy!

Upgraded from a MacBook Pro 2012 to this one. Much thinner and lighter, the screen is amazing, and the touch bar is a plus. The touch bar changes depending on what application you are using, and can be customized. The screen has low glare and can be viewed from side angles easily and in places with a lot of light. The new keyboard takes a little bit of getting used to if you haven't used the new butterfly design on the Macs. This MacBook has no problem handling everyday things and can also handle heavier applications with the 8Gb memory and i5 processor. The biggest downside I have found with this computer is that it ONLY has USB-C ports, nothing else. You WILL be needing adapters to connect things such as USB, SD cards, ethernet, and/or HDMI. Although inconvenient at times, the USB-C ports are also very powerful and can support many things at once. Great and powerful laptop, very happy with it.

Was in the market for a new laptop for college because my last one was starting to die and I was getting tired of carrying the massive thing around. My computer programming professor recommended a MacBook too me but I was a bit skeptical. I ended up going into a store to see it and fell in love. Its lightweight, fast, and can do everything I want on it. Awesome laptop. Would recommend.

Upgraded from 2012 Macbook. Was easy transition/migration to the new one. Features are awesome, blazing fast and after getting used to they keyboard I like it. Speakers are awesome, touchbar is pretty nifty and this seems to weigh half of what my old one did. I am on it all day for work, and taking 3 online classes as well... perfect solution!

I've used the laptop for almost a month now and I am blown away. Performance, screen, battery life, and build quality are all exceptional. If you have never owned a MacBook and you're looking to jump in, now is the perfect time at $1,199 or $1,399 with the discount. This is the best value MacBook for the performance you're getting in a long time.

Coming from an older Macbook Pro 15 inch, I wanted to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro 13 inch. 13 inch Macbook pro is the perfect size for traveling or on the go. This Newer model of the 13 inch Macbook Pro with touch bar is a great upgrade for Apple, because now you are getting a quad core processor which is great for your computer running faster and you are not only paying for the touch bar. If you are looking for to upgrade to a new Macbook that is 13 inch, I would recommend investing into the macbook pro 13 inch with touch bar instead of settling for a macbook air or mac pro 13 without a touch bar; because they only have a dual core processor and an older version like Intel 7th Generation . It is not cheap by any means, but having a quad core processor is better and will keep your mac running fast and smooth in coming years. Now is the perfect time to get this 13 inch macbook pro with touch bar because it has the latest Intel 8th Generation Quad core processor for speed and battery efficiency.

I am an artist and find that I really have enjoyed learning to use the touch bar that is new with this model. It does run slower than a previous model I had that was 16GB ram... it is noticeable. However, I plan to buy a desktop model for the processing power and use this as my travel computer for jobs. It is very light and easy to maneuver.

Its a wonderful computer and so easy to use. I could be bias cause I had a MacBook before, my old one was really put to work and the fan wouldn't shut off so I upgraded (it was almost 5 years). I was able to quickly get set up, and then within a day I was able to explore and figure out the new lil things. I LOVE THE TOUCH BAR!!! Overall a great computer!

I upgraded from my MacbookPro 2014 - nothing like the speed of a new computer. I have PC laptops but I never use them except for certain things that dont place nice with Apple. Not having to deal with a virus in 4 years speaks for itself. The touchbar is something to get adjusted to but is nice having shortcuts right at a fingertouch without having to use keyboard shortcuts.

I had two desktops and switched to laptops and I will never go back. Bought a Dell in 2007. It got a real bad virus. Was always a Dell fan. I looked, but i bought a Toshiba chrome book for backup and it’s a nice little laptop. My passion project is that I want do my family genealogy and I have family photos that I wish to put together into a lifetime chronologic order. I miss my parents so bad, both deceased. My family took tons of photos. This laptop was in the top five for photographers. I haven’t gotten into my project yet. My dad used to develop his own photos. A lot of my photos have faded over time. Been playing with it and this laptop can fix that. The sales guy showed where I can put music to my videos. I spent a lot more money on this laptop than that Dell, but it’s worth it. Because I have over 100 photos, you have to have the Touch Bar. That’s a necessity. I bought a new camera also. I’m in the market for a printer to print slides. Some slides were in the Bahamas. We fished for our dinner. My mom made grouper stew and conch salad and we swam at Man O War Cay. He built a cute little house on an island. My dad took photos from a plane over our island. We had a Chinese junk also. I miss all that. I’ll get my pictures out of those boxes with this laptop.

Powerful, fast, lightweight, love the Touch Bar and bright colors

Fast, light, portable, great laptop! Love the touch bar!

My first MacBook Pro. I can’t say I really need it yet upgrading from a 2 year old air but I love this ansdont regret the purchase. Much faster than the my air and the new touchbar I have found extremely useful for typing and spell checking as I go. I didn’t think I would use that feature much but I was very wrong. Highly recommended.

The MacBook exceeds my expectations. It is lightweight and fast. Because I am new to MacBook, I am still learning. Definitely takes some getting use to. The battery life is great. I once used the MacBook for 8 hours straight while familiarizing myself with some of its features and it was still going strong. The touchpad comes in handy when having to enter passcodes. Just the touch of your finger instead of typing in. Still learning the touchpad features. I like that my MacBook syncs with my other Apple devices: iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad Pro. I receive my text messages and emails, and can use Siri and FaceTime across all devices. A great feature for Apple Watch users is being able to wake the MacBook screen with watch without having to enter passcode. If you’re wearing your Apple Watch while using your MacBook and the screen goes into sleep mode, just touch the MacBook pad and you will be logged back in. Your Apple Watch will notify you that AppleWatch logged you into MacBook. You must select feature in order to use. So far I am loving my new MacBook.

As with every other Apple product I have ever owned, a device that is built well and just works. Some complain about the price of Apple products. In my experience, in the case of Apple, you get what you pay for. Every Apple product I have ever purchased still works. This includes a 2007 24” iMac that my daughter uses, and even an original 30GB iPod, to name a few. Spec wise the 13” MacBook Pro will not beat some PC products that cost a little less, but when I turn it on, five, ten years from now, I bet it will still work, something that most people could probably not say about their PC. Apple fan-boy? You bet I am. I’m all in the Apple ecosystem because Apple has proven they are several steps above the competition. They are not perfect. No company is. But for me, their products get it done without getting in the way. This is the part where I talk about Best Buy. The online purchase was completed easily and I received my laptop within a few weeks, which is good as I am at an APO. I would purchase from Best Buy again.

The MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is amazing. Overall build quality is excellent and the layout of the keyboard is a really good. At first I was going to get the non-Touch Bar because a lot of reviews said it was not intuitive and just a gimmick. However, I wanted the quad core so I decided to just pay for the "gimmick bar". After using the touch bar for a week and setting up for each program I use frequently, I have been indoctrinated. It really is something you learn to use and make good use of it. I was at Bestbuy for two hours playing with the 13 and 15 inch side by side. Ultimately the 13 won me over because the screen is more crisp. I freeze frame videos and zoomed in on high res images. The 15" sounded better but that was not a deciding factor. The size for the 15" was a deal breaker because it is big. It's no longer a "laptop" at that size. If you're a gamer and need a 15-17" for screen and hardware, then that makes sense. However, the MacBook Pro is a not a gaming platform and it can't be modded therefore it's really a screen integrated desktop. So what can be better? Apple products are expensive but you know you're getting a quality product. Where they fall behind is innovation. It does bother me that I will not be able to upgrade components so that is why I purchased the highest grade I was able to afford. At this price point, it should include other Apple capabilities such as facial recognition and ability to use Apple Pen on trackpad. Also possibility with front facing camera to record directly to iMovie. Down side of this product is cooling. On average the MacBook runs cool. I can use it on my lap and don't feel any heat. Once I start playing Metro 2033 Redux, it gets hot, really hot! I presume it may be the same when rendering hi-res graphics because the process is tasking.
