Until then, most MacBook Pro owners will still likely own a few accessories and devices that connect over USB-A. Once this reversible connector has become a standard across the industry – this decision will make complete sense. The Cupertino company has eschewed the plethora of ports available on previous models (USB 3.0, HDMI, Thunderbolt 2 and SDXC cards reader) in favour of the flexible Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type-C. This notebook range traditionally contains the no-compromise models – with the best displays, most ports, and fastest processors.Īpple has made a number of bold choices following its most recent redesign of the MacBook Pro range, which debuted in October 2016. MacBook Pro is the crown in Apple’s laptop lineup. MacBook Pro (Without Touch Bar From £1,249, With Touch Bar From £1,749) MacBook is also the only netbook to ship in four colours, mirroring the iPhone 6S lineup with a choice of Rose Gold, Space Grey, Silver and Gold. When Apple Vice President Phil Schiller unveiled the company's razor-thin netbook to rapturous applause back in March 2015, he told the whooping crowd that they were experiencing "hashtag MacBook lust."Īnd it is difficult not to ogle at the razor-thin shell, svelte bezels and stunning Retina display. But we’ve had a few near misses while waiting for a back-up to an external hard drive to finish with a dangerously low amount of battery.Īpple prides itself on its refined industrial design – and it’s worth saying that the MacBook is easily the best-looking laptop to ever leave Sir Jony Ive's studio.
However, the decision to only include one port means you cannot charge the laptop while its connected to another device – like an iPhone. This new reversible one-size-fits-all port is fast becoming a universal standard for modern laptops, tablets and smartphones. The MacBook only boasts one port to charge and connect accessories. MacBook boasts 10-hour battery life, the same as the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but not quite the all-day capabilities of the MacBook Air.Īnd when you need to charge this new laptop, you will have to do it over USB-C. Unfortunately, this svelte design does restrict the amount of power packed into this lil’ laptop. The notebook tapers to a jaw-dropping 0.35cm (0.14inches) at the svelte end of its wedge design.įor comparison, that’s about half the thickness of an iPhone 7.
