For starters: What a risky thing for Apple to do, replacing the touchpad that's already the best in its class. With that, I am done talking about the MacBook Pro's hardware.Įxcept for the new trackpad, of course. Oh, and the aluminum lid and chassis are still scratch-prone. Nope, no USB Type-C ports like on the new MacBook - at least not this time around. Big whoop.Īround the edges, you get the same selection of ports: two USB 3.0 connections, a full-sized HDMI socket, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, an SD card slot and a headphone jack.

As before, the machine measures a slim 0.71 inch thick, though Apple is listing the weight as slightly heavier this time around: 3.48 pounds, as opposed to 3.46.

The new MBP, like so many before it, is constructed from a seamless block of machined aluminum, with springy, well-spaced keys and a crisp 2,560 x 1,600 display, framed by a thin, barely there bezel. If you already own a recent MacBook Pro, or have even futzed around an Apple Store, then you know what to expect here. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
