Overview
Have you become annoyed of seeing your local Starbucks awash in silver, medium-sized laptops, sporting that glowing Apple logo? Well, Apple has remained confined to the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch design from the last four years, adding on engineering excellence to endure through multiple product cycles. This decision drove Macbook fans wild, as many itched for a newer, faster MacBooks– and ended up with the “new” models that looked the identical as what they already owned. Finally, the wait is over, and it’s unfortunate that MacBook fans have been left starving for an update as the new MacBook Pro’s price is hard to digest.
The base 13-inch model of Apple Macbook Pro 13-inch without the Touch Bar will cost you $1,500, a $200 upcharge over the former MacBook. In case you want the Touch Bar model of the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch we examined, you’ll have to spend out $1,800, in which you get a processor upgrade as part of the deal. Seriously, $1,800 is a lot for an Apple MacBook Pro 13 with an Intel Core i5 processor. The sharp increase in price means that you can only obtain a Core i5 Apple MacBook Pro at prices on which you could get Core i7, and perhaps a RAM upgrade as well. Can the new version of MacBook Pro live up to the expectations set by its price? Check out in our Review on the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar.
