NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD CHROME ON 10.13 high sierra. It caused my new macbook pro to crash every few minutes. Even after I deleted Chrome the issue persisted. Upgrading to Mojave seemed to solve the issue, but I don’t know if there would be a problem if I installed Chrome again.
On another note, one of my usb c ports has already stopped functioning and it crashes my macbook to plug in anything. I use a wacom tabled that required a usb plug. Apple says they will help me with that.
I use my macbook pro for standard design purposes (photoshop, illustrator, etc.) generally ok, touch bar is pretty cool, i like the quieter keystrokes and it came with high sierra. If I could afford it, I’d definitely get the 15” instead. A 13” couldn’t really handle a large photoshop file with a bunch of smart objects.
I think I was unlucky with this macbook pro that I’m using, so it’d still be good to get if you need one.

This is my second MacBook and I love it! Way faster than the 2015 model. I was hesitant spending extra money for the touch bar, but I actually use it pretty often and it comes in handy. It's also very sturdy.

I ADORE my MacBook Pro! It works with the Adobe Programs much better than my old laptop did (may it rest in peace). I also love how it can pair with my phone as a hotspot, a feature I didn't even know I had. This laptop also has great apps to get the creative juices flowing. I love being able to send text messages through my laptop, and I also love listening to podcasts with the excellent speakers! This laptop may be difficult for non-Mac users to adjust to, but I was in their same shoes before I bought this and I was able to transition to Mac with some curiosity and help from others.

I switched over from a PC and I got the hang of it right away! It works so nice and it’s so simple! I use it for college school work mainly and it’s super thin and light in my backpack! Great product overall

TouchBar isn’t really needed

This is my second MacBook and it has been running pretty well, so far. It started off running a little slow but it has picked up a little bit since I’ve had it. It is much lighter than the older models. I would give it 5 stars but I’m not really a fan of the touch bar and the new sockets. I wish they would have left us with at least 1 USB socket but that’s Apple, forcing you to adapt to their new changes.

I was stuck between a few different MacBooks. But after seeing the screen differences and how thin and light the MacBook Pro is, it was and easy choice. The Touchbar is incredibly helpful and convenient.

This is my third Macbook in 12 years, and its the best one yet. Still getting used to the touch bar, but I love the fingerprint ID and the new apple keyboard. It's fast, sleek, and just outright awesome.

It doesn’t get much better than this laptop. It is all about style and performance. The screen quality is great as well as the performance. Get this computer for web browsing or work.

I had decided to go ahead and get a new MacBook to replace my late 2013 model that I have had since Jan 2014. I went to Best Buy and found this one and decided to buy it. It works great, fast, great battery life and love the touch ID. Only complaint is that it does drag and slow way down when I run Final Cut Pro, otherwise not a single hiccup with this model.

I bought this computer because my old mac (I had it for ~7 years) broke just as my semester was finishing up with all my final projects due. I also bought this computer when Best Buy had a sale on it! This computer is great and looks really sleek. The fingerprint to unlock the computer is convenient as well. I mainly use my computer now for work/projects and browsing the web. I love the TouchBar and the different features it has especially in Word and PowerPoint and when I’m reading PDFs. Only downside to the computer is the ports. I wish it came with a USB/HDMI port and not the thunderbolt ports which required you to buy an adapter.

Bought this a few months ago when my 2009 macbook pro became unusably slow. After using this computer since then, I don't know why I waited so long. The touch bar is growing on me as well.

We love this computer. It is so fast and the design is very beautiful. We are very happy with it. It is a little smaller than we usually get but it hasn't been bad at all.

I am so blown away by the MacBook Pro with touchbar. I initially only got it because my husband is bougie, but it is so useful in Office and other onboard apps. Worth every penny

My MacBook Pro is small and way easier to use than I would’ve thought. It’s lightweight and I travel a lot, so it’s great for carrying around and not feeling like I’m carrying textbooks.

Yes many of us may be locked into the APPLE world but this laptop truly performs! Found a faster processor in a previous model for cheaper! And the Touch Bar is amazing.

Love this MacBook Pro! Fast processor, butterfly keyboard has grown on me, and love the Touchbar (never thought I would use it much). Wouldn't change a thing.

My 2018 MacBook Pro is beautiful. The retinal display is stunning. The touch bar is very convenient and helps make switching from Windows to Mac easier than I thought. I read some reviews saying there was a glitch in the sound, and I think I am experiencing that, although it just may be Netflix. It’s hard for me to know. Over all, I’m pleased with this purchase.

Bought to replace a 2013 MacBook Pro that was beginning to suffer from old age. I couldn’t believe how much faster, smaller & lighter weight the new MacBook is! Great buy!
