It’s worth noting that many Windows rivals now have 4K displays, something that Apple has never offered on a MacBook. It supports several scaled resolutions up to 1920x1200, but the absence of HDMI means you’ll need the requisite adapter. Viewing angles are outstanding and there is zero light bleed from any corner or edge. It boasts 220 pixels per inch with an often blinding 500 nits brightness and a P3 wide colour gamut. The 2880x1800 resolution is a dream no matter what you’re looking at, and is, for all day use, preferable to the 13-inch alternative. The laptop has a 15.4-inch backlit Retina display and yes, it looks amazing as we’ve come to expect from Apple. You may not want to carry it in a messenger bag but it’s certainly in the ‘portable’ bracket more than ever before. It’s 1.83kg, a weight that is well distributed. The form factor for a 15-inch machine is impressive, with the Pro measuring 34.93 x 24.07 x 1.55cm when closed. If this turns out to be your first MacBook though, then you will be truly spoilt by the attention to detail, from the precise cut of the chassis to the minimalist cut keys. So far down the product line, it’s still exciting to open it up out the box and still be familiar with the lineage. Long gone is the CD drive, but also carried over from last year’s model is the absence of any ports other than four USB-C (Thunderbolt 3, two on each side) and a solitary headphone jack.Īpple’s design here is commendable in how it is instantly recognisable as a MacBook. The impressive slim form factor is largely possible thanks to Apple’s removal of some, debatably pro, ports. It works well with no lag and the interface is surprisingly intuitive for such unique hardware.Īt first it’s jarring, but over extended use you will start to enjoy its quirks – though if you use many programs that simply need function keys at all costs, it’s going to really annoy you.
From a purely design point of view, it’s great. The Touch Bar itself remains, and it will again continue to divide opinion. As usual, Apple excels in its positioning of the trackpad here it is huge but we never found our palms encroaching on it. There is also a convenient Touch ID fingerprint reader worked into the Touch Bar, while the 15-inch design allows for symmetrical speaker grilles either side of the keyboard.

This means you are faced with a stunning Retina display with pleasingly thin bezels a full size keyboard with Apple’s improved second-generation butterfly keys and that now famous (infamous?) Touch Bar. Our review unit was Space Grey, our preferred colour, but you can go for the classic MacBook silver too. For a 15-inch device it is remarkably slim, keeping an identical profile to the 2016 model. Reservations about the price aside, this is out and out a premium laptop. 3.1GHz Kaby Lake i7 quad-core processor + £190/$200.2.9GHz Kaby Lake i7 quad-core processor, Touch Bar, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, Radeon Pro 560, £2,699/$2,799.2.8GHz Kaby Lake i7 quad-core processor, Touch Bar, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, Radeon Pro 555, £2,349/$2,399.The 2017 MacBook Pro is no longer officially on sale, but you may find secondhand or refurbished models available.

Other MacBook Pro users might include gamers, programmers, and office workers who need a capable Mac with a larger screen than the 13-inches offered by the other Mac laptops.
Traditionally creative pros would have turned to the Mac for their needs, be it design work, editing photos, working with video and animation, or other jobs that require decent graphic capabilities.
The Pro status of Apple’s 15-inch MacBook depends on what sort of ‘pro’ you are. As we said in our preview of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the 15-inch model is more deserving of the name 'Pro' than it's smaller sibling. There are two size options in the 13-inch and the 15-inch models. It’s always an event when Apple launches a MacBook, but in 2017 the then new MacBook Pro simply offered an internal spec improvement rather than radical design overhaul.
