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.

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.

Outstanding speed; Longer battery life; Attractive design

Expensive

"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.

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

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

Things are great about it...love it.

The price may not have changed since last year, but the 2018 version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro does deliver stronger performance and good battery life, which help to justify its premium price tag.
