The good A massive touchpad dominates this incredibly skinny, high-powered laptop. The screen really pops, with less bezel and wider color range. Adding space grey as a color option gives it a bold, mod look.
The bad This version leaves out the amazing new Touch Bar. It’s more expensive than the model it replaces and has only a pair of USB-C ports plus a headphone jack for wired connectivity. The shallow keyboard takes getting used to.
The bottom line While it’s missing the buzzworthy Touch Bar, the entry-level MacBook Pro is effectively the redesigned and updated ’Retina MacBook Air’ that you’ve been waiting for.
