Apple MacBook Pro 15 2017 (2.8 GHz, 555)
It is a little unusual for Apple to refresh the MacBook Pro 15 inch in less than a year. However, with Apple’s competitor quick on the trigger they have announced another refresh with the new Intel Kaby Lake architecture and even a slightly more powerful GPU as the default spec. Beginning with its main refresh highlights the new MacBook Pro 15 default spec sports an Intel Core i7-7700HQ, 16 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD and AMD’s Radeon Pro 555. As this is a refresh there are certain aspects that are similar to its predecessor which will be omitted. In terms of user inputs, the MacBook Pro 15 uses Apple’s second-generation Butterfly keys which is similar to its 13-inch brethren, while the keyboard remains comfortable to type on there seems to be a minor keystroke problem whereby the “S” key would not register the stroke or either register it twice. Although the issue should have been rectified by now. Moving along to the display the 2017 model still carries the same panel as its predecessor which for a reminder sake is a 2880 x 1800 pixel IPS panel and does manage a high luminance rating at 523 nits. Along with brightness sRGB ratings are in the 99% range which is good considering that most users buying the Pro variant are most likely media creators or artists which require color accuracy although an even higher score would be appreciated. While storage isn’t usually mentioned about with regards to Apple products the MacBook Pro 15 2017 unfortunately offers 256 GB as default which could be a little bit difficult to swallow considering the prices of 512GB variants dropping in price as of late. Keeping that in mind while Apple does charge hefty premium to upgrade it would be recommended to at least choose the 512GB model since it would help in future proofing your device. In the audio department, the MacBook Pro 15 2017 sports 2 convincing stereo speakers which might be a result of driver improvements considering the 2016 model suffered with its highs being weak. Naturally as this is a MacBook, users should expect good runtimes. The Macbook Pro 15 2017 last 10 hours and 44 minutes while Wi-Fi surfing. However, during gaming with its GPU, the battery life will take an extremely disappointing nosedive at only 1 hour 27 minutes. Overall verdict for the MBP 17 2017 is about satisfactory since this is only a refresh and not an upgrade. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Competitive thanks to Kaby Lake. The updated Apple MacBook Pro 15 gets a modern Kaby Lake processor from Intel and a more powerful GPU by default. Otherwise, however, not a lot has changed. Update: The review is now complete

The 15-inch MacBook Pro would still benefit from a few other pro features, a 4K display for one, 32GB RAM being another. Yet at the already high price point, Apple may well be saving us from staring down a £3,000+ buying decision.

We said earlier it was all about the numbers, but the thing is, you can rarely judge Apple computers solely by numbers. The MacBook Pro may not give you the most bang for your buck, but it'll give you the most style and flair. It's not for you if your work centers on word processing and spreadsheets, nor on advanced workstation apps, but content creation pros will find it an ineffably satisfying partner—an Omega in a world of Timexes.

It's excellent news that Apple has moved to the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors, we are also pleased to see new graphics cards. Performance is outstanding.

Yet at the already high price point, Apple may well be saving us from staring down a £3,000+ buying decision. For now, this is the best MacBook Pro but it comes at a cost that alienates new users and with ports that will frustrate pro users.

The 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro is still expensive, but it's undoubtedly better value for money than last year's Model: our £2,699 (inc. VAT) review unit delivered professional-level performance that would have cost more than £3,300 just a few months ago.

If you're not an Apple adherent, the 2017 Dell XPS 15 Touch is pretty slick in its own right, and is simply faster and more fully featured, only lacking in battery life comparatively. It costs significantly less as tested, and on top of that, delivers a superior graphics card, display, and port selection, and thus remains our Editors' Choice for high-end desktop-replacement laptops.

Apple MacBook Pro 15 review – Apple’s most controversial laptop is still coming on top
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
With a price tag like this and since this is an Apple notebook, our expectations are high and we are happy to say that in most aspects, the new MacBook Pro 15 delivers. There are some things that need to be considered but there are no fundamental flaws in the design, build, hardware, etc. It’s almost perfectly crafted device with few drawbacks – the design is simplistic, clean and the chassis’ build quality is impeccable. The same goes for the input devices, although some users won’t be happy with the keyboard’s shallow keys. In our opinion, it just takes some time adjusting and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them. Speaking of input devices, we can’t miss mentioning the iconic feature – the Touch Bar. We definitely see why Apple went after the Touch Bar instead of a full-fledged touchscreen but the lack of third-party apps support (for now) makes it borderline gimmicky. Still, if most of the time you use Apple’s built-in apps, you will definitely find it useful and comfortable to use.

The latest MacBook Pro delivers a slight performance bump with its Kaby Lake CPUs, but it's not a drastic enough change to warrant an upgrade from anyone who owns last year's model. There are lots of outstanding Windows alternatives out there -- the Dell XPS 15 packs a 4K touch screen for hundreds of dollars less, while Microsoft's Surface Book ($1,499 starting) offers a detachable display that's great for drawing and note-taking. Still, for creative professionals and power users that prefer macOS, Apple's most powerful MacBook Pro is hard to top.

Archive.org versionIt's excellent news that Apple has moved to the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors. Of course the eighth generation chips probably won’t be that far away but if we always waited for the next big thing we’d never get anything new to play with.

MacBook Pro 15in (2017) review
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It's excellent news that Apple has moved to the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors, we are also pleased to see new graphics cards. Performance is outstanding. The 15-inch MacBook Pro would still benefit from a few other pro features, a 4K display for one, 32GB RAM being another. Yet at the already high price point, Apple may well be saving us from staring down a £3,000+ buying decision. For now, this is the best MacBook Pro but it comes at a cost that alienates new users and with ports that will frustrate pro users.
