MacBook Pro 13-inch (2018): A perfect choice for creatives

The 2018 MacBook Pro 13-inch has one of the best displays on the market and is a perfect laptop for creatives and powerusers

Best-in-class Retina display ; High quality build and design ; Thunderbolt 3 ports

Cramped and uncomfortable keyboard ; Touchpad depresses awkwardly ; Port options are Thunderbolt, buy an adapter, or go home ; Expensive

The MacBook Pro 2018’s powerful display and top performance make it a perfect choice for creative types. But the high price and fact that you’ll need to buy adapters if you want more than just Thunderbolt ports, will put off some more casual buyers.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2011 review

The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch laptop comes complete with a bevy of exciting new processors and graphics that give this entry-level MacBook Pro a much-needed boost. It's yet another win for Steve Jobs!

13-inch MacBook Pro review: is this the power laptop to beat?

Apple's latest Pro blows the MacBook Air out of the water

Retina display ; Doyble RAM ; Processor speed bump

Not huge update ; Battery life ; MacBook Air instead?

Apple MacBook Pro 13in (Late 2011) review

Apple's MacBook Pro 13in (Late 2011) is available in two versions, at £999 or £1299. We test the top model with Core i7 processor running at 2.8GHz.

The Apple MacBook Pro 13in (Late 2011) looks great and offers the level of performance that you'd expect from an Apple device. Boot Camp means that you can install Windows 7 alongside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, although you'll need to buy Windows first (from...

Apple MacBook Pro 13in (Early 2011) 2.3GHz review

The Apple MacBook Pro 13in (Early 2011) comes in two version, with either 2.3GHz or 2.7GHz Intel dual-core processors. Here we test the entry-level version available for £999.

Other than a relatively small hard drive, it’s difficult to find fault with the entry-level Apple MacBook Pro 13in – a powerful, versatile and well-constructed laptop for work and play. One standout feature for all Macs is that you can now turn them...

Apple MacBook Pro 13in (Early 2011) review

Like most notebook makers, Apple is rolling out Sandy Bridge-powered portables, with measurable speed bumps across the board. In fact, at this point in late March 2011, Apple is one of very few companies that is actually supplying laptops with the...

The MacBook Pro 13in (Early 2011) is very much a swings-and-roundabouts revision to the smallest of Apple’s metal-bodied notebook line. Overall performance is higher – by exactly 15% in our WorldBench 6 test – but graphics performance and battery life...

Apple MacBook Pro 13in 2011 review

Without the quad-core beef of its stable mates, can the miniest MacBook Pro still tempt?

Arguably the perfect MacBook, if you can resist its big brothers' quad-core processors

Apple MacBook Pro 13in 2011 Review

Arguably the perfect MacBook, if you can resist its big brothers' quad-core processors

It's terribly easy for your eye to stray from this 13in MacBook Pro to the others on Apple’s webstore. The 15in and 17in versions flaunt their quad-core processors and AMD graphics switching in such a

Apple MacBook Pro 13in Core i5 laptop

Review Guilty, your honour. In mitigation, I would like to assure the jury that I do not automatically adore everything with Apple branding on it, nor have I any intention of jacking off over a Steve Jobs biography. I just happen to like the current...

Here’s what I don’t like about the latest 13in MacBook Pro: it’s so very, very expensive. I can forgive the shared-memory graphics and the lack of USB ports, perhaps also the fairly average processor performance, and I could even get used to the small...

New Apple MacBook Pro 13 Review 2011

The smallest of Apple's new range of MacBook Pros may just be the best of the bunch

It’s not quite the tiny workstation it could have been then, but use it more as an everyday laptop with a bit of raw power and we really can’t see anything else not to like about the MacBook Pro 13in. We'd lean towards the cheaper £999 model out of the...
