13" Pro wayyy better than the 12" MacBook.

Just got one of these in 256gb last week, so far I love it. Performances in apple pro apps (final cut / logic) are insane. Such a great machine to work daily with. Snappy and the keyboard isn't bad at all. Just different but so far I'm getting use to it and love typing on this machine, even though it's clicky and loud. The speakers are the best. Being a musician, I can totally see myself mixing tracks on them. So far a great experience, I'm just concerned on how well it will age. My last one 2010 mbp was strong as a rock. These new one are very refined piece of tech but don't feel as strong as older models.

just bought the 13.3" MacBook Pro, (December 2018 new on eBay), after 5.5 years with a 13" MacBook Air. I love the Pro, better screen, larger trackpad Plenty fast enough for my needs.

I've had the computer for about three days and I'm totally in love with it. Actually, I prefer the thinner, chiclet keys way more than the previous model although I didn't any qualms about the keyboard while using but the difference to be able to slide my fingers seamless across the keys without any rejection is great. It's fast, reliable and doesn't need a software reboot after the battery dies, it just wakes up. The productivity of the device almost makes me not as angry about not having the multiple ports that were in the last model.

I'm hoping for a 4 core 13" MacBook Pro release in June, with a more reliable keyboard. If they don't address the keyboard issue, I will actually consider getting a refurb 2015 model...

Your video quality is amazing! Keep it up

I bought the base model of the 2017 Macbook Pro 13" and I love it.

I have a ‘17 MBP 13” as well. I opted for the touch bar/512gb model. Best Buy had a pretty good sale on it and I wanted the larger storage option. Love it. I agree the touch bar isn’t a “must have” but the extra ports and the context shortcuts on the touchpad is handy when I’m typing and not docked.

I don’t mind the keyboard, I don’t have any issues when using the magic keyboard when using an external monitor and then switching to the MBP’s keyboard when I’m out.

Apple should'nt have change their function keys from physical to touch bar. I think they would be better off if they just improved on the mechanism and reliability of their physical keys and also getting rid of the Power button and move it to the side. They should have placed the "Touchbar" in the lower part of the LCD bezel I think that is a win-win design for Apple.

MacBook Pro should stay 1200$ price for the base model, the MacBook should be 999$, or 1050$. The MacBook Air should be NO MORE THAN 900$. Like fr Apple wtf how are you gonna charge the same price for the OBVIOUS better product.

3:01 Dude you're making me cry again :(, but still it's one of my fav song

with a keyboard cover there will not be any problems with the keyboard!
I have the 2017 since it came out and have no problem with the keyboard!

[SergeySenigov]

Is it worth considering 16Gb RAM custom model?

[terrry]

those people wanting to buy this model... wait for a refresh and expect at least a year but if you need one right now just get the new air or touchbar

[shilan]

Should I wait for the new releases or just go ahead and buy this?

[tpc]

got mine 2017 refurbished around 1k which is a steal so glad i got this i was gonna get 2015 adn still expensive so found one on apple so why not get newer one around a good price so

[confideans]

question !!!! I just bought the mac book pro with touch bar but i need to use excel with short cut keys. what is the best way??? Window + Ms word + Keybord + mouse????

[elins]

Are they still selling thel with bad keyboards or has this been addressed? As the 2018 model is like 400$ more

[rhodesshah]

I have the same basic spec 2017 model, and I can say with certainty that the shared CPU-GPU graphics are NOT twice as fast as the graphics on the 15" model as stated.
