The previous model was no slouch, but the directional speakers work better in environments where you don't have a flat surface to bounce the sound back to your ears (such as when using the MacBook Pro on your lap).Īs mentioned above, more expensive MacBook Pro models (starting at $1,799) come with Apple's new Touch Bar, which replaces the function keys with a wide touch screen with an integrated Touch ID sensor.

There isn't a whole lot of bass, but there is some low end, and the speakers can fill a medium-size room with distortion-free music or movie sound. There is excellent audio separation, with the left and right channels projecting distinct sound that make the stereo speakers seem like they are a few feet apart. Last year's MacBook Pro hid the speakers in the side cooling vents. Perforated speaker grilles flank the keyboard. Unfortunately, you can't use the 27-inch iMac ( at Amazon) as an external 5K display, because the iMac doesn't support Target Display mode the way non-Retina-display iMacs do. If you need to edit 4K video in native resolution, the MacBook Pro will drive one 5K monitor or two 4K displays simultaneously. In any case, the MacBook Pro is ready to display and edit scaled 4K video captured with the Apple iPhone 7 ($288.00 at Visible) or D-SLRs compatible with the DCI-P3 color gamut.

Competitors have higher-resolution screens the Dell XPS 13 Touch's, for example, is 3,200 by 1,800, and the display on the New Razer Blade Stealth ($999.99 at Razer CA) is 3,840 by 2,160 (4K). The display scales the user interface and icons to 1,440-by-900 resolution, and uses the extra pixels to smooth text so letters and numbers look sharp. You'll have to jump up to pricier laptops like the Dell XPS 15 Touch ($949.99 at Dell) if you want DCI-P3 color fidelity in a Windows-based competitor. For example, reds and greens look brighter and more vibrant on the updated Retina display. What this means is that you'll be able to see more colors on the screen, which is of course important to animators, illustrators, photographers, and videographers. The screen has a DCI-P3 color gamut, which displays truer-to-life colors than the last MacBook Pro's display, which is closer to the sRGB color space. The MacBook Pro does look brighter than rivals, especially when the screen backlighting is cranked all the way up. The display is rated at 500 nits, which is brighter than the 250- to 350-nit displays on competing laptops (for example, the HP Spectre 13 ($1,499.77 at Amazon) is rated at 300 nits, but the top dog Dell XPS 13 Touch ($1,198.25 at Amazon) is rated at 400 nits), so it could theoretically overpower those reflections with internal light. There is no matte screen option, to quell reflections in bright rooms. This MacBook Pro, as with the previous model, has a 13.3-inch, 2,560-by-1,600-resolution Retina display. No longer will keynote speakers and professors have to stare into a sea of glowing Apple logos.

The Apple logo on the top lid is now opaque and reflective silver, as it is on the MacBook.

The all-aluminum body feels sturdy, as if carved out of a single block of metal.

The new MacBook Pro ($808.85 at Amazon) line is available in two finishes: traditional matte silver and Space Gray (like our review unit).

This is the way professional-class MacBooks will look and feel for the next few years, and longtime Mac users will have to adapt, like it or not. In any case, the base model is a worthy replacement for a five-year-old MacBook Pro or Air, but be prepared to buy a docking station or dongles to connect your peripherals. The $1,799 version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 15-inch model come with the line's most innovative feature, an auxiliary touch screen called the Touch Bar, but this entry-level model has traditional function keys. But what's really notable is the new chassis with a wider trackpad, two USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports, and a keyboard with butterfly switches similar to the MacBook's. The redesigned ultraportable resembles the 12-inch MacBook ( at Amazon), and features a 6th Generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel Iris graphics and a Retina display with more lifelike colors. The latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro ($1,499) is the least expensive model in Apple's high-end laptop line.
