The 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at the same $1,299 as this new MacBook, but with only half the storage. PT tonight, the same time as the Apple Watch, and should be available in store - presumably in limited quantities - on Friday, April 10.)īy way of comparison, the 13-inch MacBook Air starts at $999, but a similar 8GB/256GB configuration will cost the same $1,299. (The MacBook can be ordered online at 12:00 a.m. More expensive build-to-order models are available, too. In the UK and Australia, the prices start at £1,049 and AU$1,799 for the base model and hit £1,299 and AU$2,199 for the upgrade. A second version, priced at $1,599, adds a 512GB hard drive and a tiny processor speed bump. Unlike other laptops with removable drives or RAM, everything here is (permanently) packed into a tiny custom motherboard that leaves maximum room for a large battery. Starting at $1,299, it includes a high-resolution Retina screen (much sharper than that on the Air), 8GB of RAM and 256GB of solid state storage. as soon as I've scraped enough some dough for a real, powerful linux notebook.The 12-inch MacBook is a system that ditches the Air and Pro monikers and returns to a simpler designation not seen since the classic black and white polycarbonate MacBooks of the mid-2000s (the ones you still occasionally see in coffee shops despite being their being discontinued in 2011). I'll be happy to sell this, although I do like the machine fundamentally. Because they're not extensible or serviceable I expect that these machines will not retain value in a similar way to the older macs. Although it's nice, I can't really justify it anymore from a value perspective.

I suspect this is the last Mac product I'll buy. No chance of keeping it running into old age, really, or giving it a second life and gifting it to a college bound cousin in four years. I didn't want a 15 incher, and that's what I would have had to get anyway to drive the displays as I wished.Anyway, since it's not extensible it's also not really repairable after 3 years.

I wish they were extensible (can't imagine the speed gain from soldering to the logic board is worthy of note as long as you're using less than the max ram available), and one really wishes they provided a slight ram upgrade and graphics card for this form factor.

Why put 3 outputs if only two can be used? Sure the Retina display is nice (there's a github repo that lets me make full use of those pixels) but at 13 inches it's not impressive on it's own and it's deceptive inability to drive 3 displays while having 3 outputs was more than a little disappointing.For the price, not a bad buy. I somehow missed the memo about the lack of extensibility (I thought that was Airs only) and finding out that the Pro could not do the task that elevated it above the Air regular Mac Book models I was considering (driving 3 displays) really blew my mind. Being unable to upgrade the ram later is a real pain. the card is rather gimpy and the speed doesn't leave one with the feeling one normally has handling a pro. The base model MBP doesn't deliver on the MBP brand speed with the base ram and graphics capability. Apple retains an excellent performance to size ratio which is why the Macbook Pro is so popular today. Noise is normally almost silent except when heavy video editing and games.

The SSD is upgradeable (many videos on the internet explaining how) but Apple doesn't want you too so it won't be easy plus it will void the warranty. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard and non-removable. Expandability is perhaps the worst quirk of the Macbook Pro with Retina Display. Durability is great with the unibody metal enclosure. This screen is awesome and maybe one of the biggest selling points (hence the name.Macbook Pro with Retina Display) haha.
The display is the best display I ever used with great viewing angles, high contrast, and popping colors. Battery life is great during web browsing and watching videos easily lasting more than 10 hours, but falls to only 2-3 hours during video editing and gaming. I didn't find my self using the new force touch trackpad at all.
No dropped frames during video editing and gaming performance is reasonable with its Iris 6100 graphics.
While it doesn't have the ultra thin design of the new Macbook or the battery life of the Macbook Air it has an incredible amount of power for its size. The Macbook Pro is in my opinion Apple's best laptop.
