After so many years of hit-and-miss products, 2015’s model was the last truly excellent 13-inch MacBook Pro we ever got. Only 2019’s MacBook Pro 16-inch has been universally liked, but it’s expensive and too large for most people. Until the MacBook Air gets the Force Touch trackpad and Retina display, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is the Apple laptop to opt for. The new hardware inside also means performance enhancements that are noticeable, taking tasks big or small in its stride and boasting longer-lasting battery life than before too. The marriage of the new Force Touch trackpad and the quality Retina display are an appealing prospect - both of which the Air lacks at present - and certainly worth the extra 500g payload you will be expected to carry around instead of a MacBook Air option.Įven though the ongoing design format hasn't evolved to compete with some outside competition, such as the Dell XPS 13 and its infinity display, we still find the iconic design makes the Pro one of the best looking devices on the market. The gap between the two is now more defined, making the Pro the more exciting option in many areas. We've been bigger fans of the MacBook Air than the MacBook Pro in recent years, opting for lightness over the chunkier powerhouse, but that's changing with the release of the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro.

There's enough resolution, for example, for video editing at native 1080p while leaving enough additional space around the preview for your editing tools. Even up close you'll struggle to spot any jagged edges in fonts thanks to that resolution.īut it isn’t really just about making your fonts look prettier, this is a laptop designed for photographers and videographers looking to work in the field and wanting the resolution to make work both easier and more accurate. It's not the highest resolution on the market, but it's still ultra crisp to look at. The Retina display on board the 13-inch MacBook Pro means a 2560 x 1600 (227ppi) resolution, just like last year's model. Like the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air, which is our normal machine in the office, you don't have to worry about dragging around a charger with you - which is handy as the one in the MacBook Pro box is slightly larger than the Air's equivalent. Obviously the more strenuous the tasks the quicker the battery depletes, but we've certainly found no issues with it in our testing both in the office and on the road. That's more than enough for most people for a long flight or a regular working day.

Claims of 10-hours for wireless web browsing and up to 12-hours of iTunes movie playback on a single charge are a proficient nudge forward compared to the last-gen model. With everything being more efficient - from the RAM and flash storage, to those latest processors - comes improved battery life. But that's all in your head: it doesn't move at all.
For this "deeper" trackpad press you'll swear that not only is the trackpad moving, but that you are pressing it down into a second deeper level. It means that no matter where you press on the trackpad your touch is registered, which helps move you away from the typically lower-area pressing you're most likely used to.Įven more surreal is that when you press physically harder, there's a second response for additional control possibilities, called Force Click. Rather than physically move like a traditional trackpad depresses, Apple has used haptic motors - or "taptic technology" as the company likes to call it - to softly vibrate the trackpad when you press it, rather than the trackpad moving at all. One of the biggest lures of the new 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is the introduction of the Force Touch trackpad. Because it has, and with some very cool tech. But that's not to say the feature set hasn't progressed.
