I use this as my mobile office. It has all of the performance of my office workstation but with the desired portability and great battery life. Adding the option to run Windows (and the work apps that I need) without giving up the Apple advantages is a real plus. The only downside is the price for these features... But it is worth the investment. Be sure to protect your investment with a good case!

I replaced my first MacBook Pro, which I bought in 2006, ( 4gb, 215 gb hd ), in August of 2016. According to Apple's specs, this is the most powerful and capable 13 inch MacBook they have. It's capacity and performance are far above what my old MacBook could provide. I need to stay with a laptop on no more than 13 inches screen size for international portability on a variety of flights. This is the machine that has managed to fit the bill, and I was already familiar with Macs and the Mac op systems as opposed top PCs. The Retina is a noticeable improvement. However, I wish they had retained the optical burner and drive, like my old MacBook Pro had. Aside from that one complaint, this machine is darn near perfect, I just hope it lasts as long as my first one, ( nine years )!

I chose this model because I was looking for a portable/lightweight laptop that didn't sacrifice power and storage. This laptop fits that bill perfectly. The 13" screen and keyboard work great for me.

Found a great deal on this performance MacBook Pro. I run a lots of graphics for my engineering design, BIM and CAD. This computer can handle everything. Boots ultra fast, battery is great. I would surely recommend this MacBook Pro if you are out in the market with over $2500 in pocket and need super performance. Go for Apple Care also, it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

I purchased this item to replace my late model 2008 Aluminum Macbook, which was still running like a champ, but I wanted an update. This Macbook is amazing. The size, speed, screen, and styling are second to none. I know this laptop is going to last me as long, if not longer, than my previous model.

Great upgrade to my 2008 Macbook. I love the speed, how light it is and how well it works. Also, the Apple guy at best buy at this location was fantastic and did everything he could to get me the best deal. I wasn't planning on buying yet but was hard to pass up that deal. Thanks

I am not a Macbook user eversince. I just recently purchased this product in replacement of my 8 year old laptop (definitely not an Apple product). It's initially challenging as I am used to my old laptop. As i get the hang of it, i am definitely amazed w/ what this product can offer. Definitely worth it!

We've always wanted a Mac, and this special build with 1 TB fit the bill. Love how lightweight it is. Only had it a short time, and we've already done some video editing with it.

This PC is a workhorse. Love Apple products and the seamless transition across all devices - MacBook, Ipad, iPhone. The large hard SDD size and powerful 1.7 Ghz processor make multitasking a breeze. The quality of Apple products goes without saying......
