Bought this for my daughter for Christmas, who is a college junior. I gave her my brand new 15 inch MacBook Pro a few years ago since her Windows laptop died. I wanted to replace the older MacBook Pro since she needed more memory and a lighter laptop. She loves this one with the Touch Bar.

Love my MacBook Pro! Purchased one for myself years ago and didn't even entertain any other options when it came time to get my husband a new computer. Macs systems are so easy to use. The MacBook Pro is powerful and sleek. Love it

Pretty good Mac with a new touch bar that changes depending on what's on the screen.
This is the first one I've had . Used to own PCs but the transition was pretty easy and simple to understand.
It does suck that it doesn't have a USB port but you can but an adapter if you need it.

Upgraded from a mid-10 MacBook Pro. Love it!

I upgraded from a mid-10 MacBook Pro to this new one. Same size screen and keyboard, much smaller and lighter package. So much so that I considered buying the 15 inch model, but decided that the 13 inch is perfect for my needs which includes a lot of travel. Excellent "schlep" factor. One significant adjustment was required however. The keyboard! Because the computer is so thin, the keys have much less "travel" and have taken me a while to get used to. Also, I've read that the butterfly keys have been problematic with duplicate letters being entered with one keystroke, and problems with dust making individual keys inoperative. Once I adapted to the lighter touch needed while typing, the duplicate letters issue went away. Regarding the dust issue, I haven't encountered anything like it but I've only had the machine for a couple of weeks.
Overall with the solid state "hard drive" the machine is very fast and I like it a lot.

Really happy with this Mac. For my son for school. The Touch Bar is a wonderful new addition. We are a Mac family and prefer the Mac to PC, have not been disappointed in 10 years, since we made the switch to Mac. This computer is sleek and works well. No complaints.

Haven’t had a computer at home since 2007, so figured it was time. My days of college had me familiar with using a Mac, so treated myself after establishing my own business. Super easy to use, battery life is great, and overall—worth the price.
This review is from Apple - MacBook Pro - 13" Display with Touch Bar - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Silver

I love this laptop. The touchbar has so many uses and shortcuts. I wasn’t sure if I would use it at first but now I use the touchbar with almost everything. This laptop is also very nice and runs very well for me.

I bought this laptop to try the Apple MAC system, pretty different with Windows, but what most expressed me is the design of the lastest MacBook Pro, really beautiful and powerful, extremely with the touch bar, I like the design, hope it will be kept in the future design.

I’ve never had MacBook before, but since I bought MacBook Pro, I love it. Great design and very light weight. Touch bar features will change in any environment and it will work amazing if you have iPhone. You can answer your calls from your MacBook easily.

This computer is a lot different from my previous computer. Just have to play around with it. I plan to use the spreadsheet. My last computer didn’t have that. I like the fact it is perfect size and light weight. The battery once charged last for 3-4 days.

I bought this laptop to help me in my graphic design program. It's done great so far, holds up with my Adobe programs and word processing. Highly recommend for anyone doing digital art, ESPECIALLY with the touchbar! Changing colors or brush sizes quickly is a breeze!

My son has wanted this for awhile. After checking all reviews I decided to purchase it. He absolutely loves it. Perfect size and light weight. He said he is very happy with this item. He likes the touchbar, speed and clarity. Has everything offered that he needs.

We got this computer for my wife’s school projects and job. It’s running really fast. Also the touch bar comes in really handy when you are working on a word document or any other thing because its changing according to whatever app you are using at the time.

Best Work Laptop

I bought the touch-bar version because it was on sale at $1,499 from $1,799 at Best Buy, otherwise I would not feel justified to pay another $300 to what is available in non-touch bar version. May be the touch-bar is effective and productive to those who use it for Video Editing or other intense work, but for regular students and regular working professionals the touch-bar is a merely a fancy feature (does not make big difference interns of productivity).
I really love the MacBook Pro because of its robustness, virus-free and long life compared to Windows Laptop. All these are met and I am happy with my purchase. I wish the keyboard can be little less noisy, because sometimes when I am intensely typing in conference meetings other people can hear it as background interruption.
Overall I am very happy and recommend this product.

I was a little hesitant on buying this computer because of the price - in addition to the Touch Bar. However, the speed bump is great vs the base model and I've actually gotten great use out of the Touch Bar. It actually helps my productivity.

This is a great Mac to get started with. Easy to learn on and great features. Definitely like the Touch Bar. Almost didn’t do that and I am really glad I did. Only disappointing thing is that it requires an adapter to be able to use HDMI or USB devices.

So far we love this computer, very light weight battery lasts a long time. I like the finger print Touch ID for remembering passwords. Like all apple products it is not cheap but so far we are very happy with our new family computer
