Despite Apple launching its new MacBook Pro range this year, the 2015 model is still incredibly attractive thans to its lower price, great performance and fantastic screen. It makes the MacBook Air look kind of pointless and sets a very high bar for...

This powerful 13-inch laptop has an amazing 2560 x 1600 display and superb build quality.
Superb high-res screen ; Excellent build quality ; Attractive design ; Powerful specs (aside from graphics)
Expensive ; No dedicated graphics ; No Touch ; Decent but not great battery life
Apple’s MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display is a worthy smaller sibling to the earlier 15-inch version, bringing the MacBook Pro and Air lines closer together than ever with its gorgeous, sleek chassis. It’s beautifully crafted, offers great...

The fastest small MacBook Pro yet is a force of nature
Retina Display ; Faster processor ; Superb battery life
Force Touch underdeveloped ; Unchanged design ; Base storage feels small
The 2014 13-inch MacBook Pro was arguably Apple's best laptop, and the 2015 model is better still. If your next MacBook needs to be reliable, powerful and practical, the newest MacBook Pro is the only way to go.

The 2015 update to Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro includes the latest Force Touch trackpad, new Intel Broadwell processors, faster storage, and the promise of an even better battery life. We've been bigger fans of the MacBook Air than the MacBook Pro in...
Force Touch trackpad, improved performance and battery life, Retina display looks great
Fairly heavy (compared to the Air), no discrete graphics, no exterior design change
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. The gap between the two is now more defined,...

Apple's latest annual update to the already brilliant Pro keeps it at top of the laptop pops
Great screen ; Portable ; Versatile in power and connections ; Fancy new trackpad
Still not the first choice for gaming
If it ain’t broke… Apple hasn’t radically changed the MacBook Pro this year, but performance and trackpad changes keep it top of its class
Expert review by : Dan Ackerman (cnet.co.uk)
Over the past couple of generations, we've noted that Apple's MacBook Pro line has received only minor spec updates, while keeping the same basic aluminum unibody chassis. Other premium laptops have shaved ounces and millimeters from their bodies, and...
Apple adds new Intel CPUs, faster memory, longer battery life and its new Force Touch trackpad to the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro, which keeps its generous selection of ports.
The 2015 updates make only a minor difference to the hands-on experience, while similar high-end 13-inch laptops continue to get thinner and lighter.
While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.

Apple makes some teeny-weeny changes to its high-end laptop and makes it a little bit better than ever
Retina screen is still top of its class ; Well-integrated hardware improvements ; Solid battery life
Starting to look a little dated
A few tiny adjustments and tweaks here and there make one of the best laptops we’ve ever seen even better
Expert review by : Andrew Harrison (techadvisor.co.uk)
It was inevitable that the original Retina-class notebook, the 15in MacBook Pro, would be joined by a similarly bescreened 13in model.
The essential specifications of the 13in Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display closely follow the groundbreaking original 15in version. Reduced size here necessitates integrated-only graphics, as well as a more efficient dual-core rather than quad-core...
Expert review by (stuff.tv)
Has the eye-watering price put you off the 15in Retina Display MacBook Pro? Well, the new 13in model is cheaper – and just as impressive
Crystal clear, accurate display ; Even more handsome
No ethernet connection ; No optical drive
What could be the best laptop ever just became truly portable. Expect hi-res-tops galore in 2013.
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
This 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display is the 2015 version of Apple's most powerful laptop. It's processor is excellent on paper and it includes a new type of touchpad. More than a year after release, is this laptop still worth considering?...
