Apple MacBook Pro 2018 MR9U2 Core i5 2.3GHz 8GB 256GB 13.3in Reviews

Verdict: I didn't want to have to move to MacOS but my area of studies made it so that I had to acquire a computer with this OS in order to run MacOS exclusive software. Nevertheless, after learning how this machine works, I must admit that it has a lot of advantages and I feel comfortable to say that this...

Verdict: The new Macbook 13 is beautiful, it's a gorgeous piece of machinery but does it deserve the "Air" in the title First thing I noticed out of the box is that it's heavy. I do love the secure boot that doesn't allow for any changes prior to booting your computer & the fingerprint reader BUT I had to...

Verdict: Expensive but it is the best money can buy. Super fast, reliable and a pleasure to use.

Verdict: MacBook Pro 13" - 2018 overheats when connect to external monitor thought running just gmail and google search in safari. Just two windows it overheating and loud fan noise. within 30 minutes. Replaced two laptops but issue remains same. Expensive laptop but unable to use external monitor. (:

Verdict: My second Apple computer and I think I'm finally hooked, It is my sofa computer, and keeps me occupied when I'm sitting and looking at Emails. Instagram,Facebook or whatever, just nice to have it right there at the days end. I'm glad Micro Center talked me into this one...

Verdict: Bought for my great grandson who is over the moon with it

Verdict: "Can't fault the ao service. You get what you pay for with Apple and I need the reliability that other manufacturers can't provide so although expensive definitely worth it when it's providing your income. I love the fact it was so easy to setup and not full of bloated software.

Verdict: This piece of kit is second to none. Best all round for design, performance and reliability although I only had it a couple of weeks now. Only down side is the price

Verdict: Sleek & fast, good quality. quick booth time. Superb operating system

Verdict: Things are great about it...love it.

Verdict: The announcement of the new 2018 MacBook Pro lead to many headlines. They were mainly focused on the performance of the new processors, which did not meet the expectations. Apple released a software update one week later, which was supposed to improve the performance.

Verdict: Dual-core processors just aren't enough for real professionals anymore. Graphics work, video editing and photo manipulation require more power than ever. And while Apple caught flack for a lack of power in the 13-inch MacBook Pro last year, the company's update to quad-core chips packs a punch.

Verdict: The true realization of Apple's ultra-thin, ultra-powerful professional-grade notebook has finally arrived, elevated to greatness by the maturation of USB-C, the fixing of a flawed keyboard, and the polish of an increasingly versatile macOS platform.

Verdict: As someone who's been working every day with a 2016 MacBook Pro -- and who is sick of seeing spinning beach balls during heavy multitasking -- I'm happy to report that the 2018 MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar (starting at $1,799) has the serious speed boost I've been waiting for.

Verdict: We're used to Apple's notebooks being impressive, but the new MacBook Pro is nothing short of a work of art. It may not be quite as thin and light as some of its competition, but it makes up for it by being the most powerful 13in laptop around.

Verdict: Apple recently launched a new advertising campaign called Behind The Mac , that focuses on professional Mac users such as photographers, musicians and coders (Apple's current flavour of the month).

Verdict: Still, these changes are all good stuff. Sure, it’d be great to see Face ID on the MacBook Pro, but that won’t happen until a major overhaul. In the meantime, we get plenty of extra power, an improved display, a quieter keyboard, and a battery that gets the machine through an entire day of normal use – assuming ‘normal’ to you isn’t running games and hugely demanding software non-stop. What you won’t enjoy is the impact on your wallet. The base level price of £1749 isn’t too bad, but that only gets you an i5, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage – and you must be mindful the MacBook Pro is a sealed unit. What you choose at the point of purchase are the specs for the Mac’s entire life – bar the potential to use external GPUs. The set-up Apple loaned Stuff would set you back an eye-watering £3599. The SSD accounts for much of that, the 2TB option adding a whopping £1400. But even 512GB costs an extra 200 quid (1TB is £600), and bumping up the RAM to 16GB costs another £180, for some nudging the MacBook Pro from lust territory to ‘What are the alternatives?’ Of course, if you swear by macOS, there aren’t any, bar something old (MacBook Air) or comparatively underpowered (MacBook). So if you do want a shiny MacBook Pro, it’s just the price you have to pay. Fortunately, for the outlay you do get a pretty great pro-grade notebook.
