89.6% Apple MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2016, 2.9 GHz i5, Touch Bar) Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
The better 13-inch Pro? The MacBook Pro 13 Touch Bar is Apple's new 13-inch flagship model. Besides the obvious OLED display above the keyboard, however, there are more differences compared to the entry-level model with function keys. Is it worth the $300 premium?

As you'll have seen in our long-term review on the first page, battery life inconsistencies might be a problem, but equally might not affect you at all. At worst you're looking at a six-hour machine. With such great processing performance, I think it's an acceptable, if slightly annoying compromise, but not everyone will agree.

Hands on: MacBook Pro review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
To say the new MacBook Pro is a massive improvement over the previous model would be an understatement. It's more portable and more powerful, not to mention more enjoyable to use. But it's tough to justify the premium for that Touch Bar, no matter how cool it is.

100% Review: Apple MacBook Pro
Source: PC Authority English Archive.org version
Despite the pangs of loss for SD card slots and traditional USB, these are without question the most refined, high-end laptops that I’ve ever used. If you can stomach the increased prices and single-minded connectivity, and you just so happen to be sold on the macOS way of doing things, then there’s simply nothing to touch them. And even if you’re a die-hard Windows fan, don’t be afraid – the new MacBook Pros might be just the change you’ve been waiting for.

80% Apple Macbook Pro 13-inch with touch bar review: As good as it gets, barring the price
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
Built for professionals and enthusiast, the Apple Macbook Pro 13-inch with touch bar does hit all the right cords when it comes to the performance, sound, battery and the (not-so-gimmicky) touch bar. The design is very Apple, yet modern. Yes, it did give us a hard time when we wanted to connect USB drives to it and we had to scramble to find a hub. Then there is the price, which is on the (very-very) high side. This one costs a whopping Rs 1,72,900. Well, if the price wasn't as exorbitant and premium as this we wouldn't call it Apple, would we?

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
This is a fast machine, of course, but maybe not quite fast enough for some tastes; it's worth reflecting on that maximum spec of 16GB of RAM, which may hold this machine back from a role in genuine pro settings. We're somewhat hopeful for a March update to add the option of more RAM and Kaby Lake processors.

MacBook Pro Touch Bar vs MacBook Pro: Should I buy a Touch Bar MacBook Pro 2016?
Source: Macworld.co.uk English Archive.org version
You want the Touch Bar MacBook Pro. We do, everyone does. But if you want a MacBook Pro this year, the decision is less simple, and weirdly so. At £1,449, the base MacBook Pro isn’t a by definition ‘cheap’ alternative, it is merely ‘cheaper’. If you want cutting edge Apple tech and Touch Bar apps, there is one obvious but expensive choice. You’ll love it though.

Apple MacBook Pro 2016 weeklong review: TouchBar is the best new feature
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
There are changes to the keyboard beyond the Touch Bar. The keys now coming with a new butterfly mechanism. It does feel different compared to my MacBook Air. The response is different, and I’m not sure it’s so in a good way. The keys seem to hit a flat at the end of its travel, and send a small kick up the fingers, which will take some getting used to. Meanwhile, the trackpad has become really big and easy to work with. This large trackpad has been incorporated to let users easily drag stuff from one end of the screen to the other. See, Microsoft, you don’t always need a touchscreen.

The things that make the new MacBook Pro appealing are the things that casual users looking for a family PC might like; a pretty screen, good speakers, snappy overall performance, and a design that’s thinner and lighter than the previous MacBook Pro. In short, Apple made a slightly better MacBook … and a worse MacBook Pro.

The 13in MacBook Pro could be a wonderful computer, but it isn’t. Is it great to use? Absolutely, it’s brilliant, it’s beautiful, it’s almost everything Apple said it was, I absolutely love it … until it runs out of battery. Or you have to dig out yet another dongle to use a sodding USB flash drive, or a card reader, or attach a display. Or you realise that you spent a month’s mortgage money on a computer and are having your house repossessed.

Mossberg: The new MacBook Pro is a fast, slim tweener
Source: Recode English Archive.org version
The new 13-inch MacBooks — even the base model without the Touch Bar — are costly. And they may make pro users unhappy. But, for everyday Mac lovers — users of the Air or maybe the older low-end Pro — they are now your only thin, modern option with a full-fledged processor. The Touch Bar has potential, but it’s not magic. The battery isn’t likely to deliver on Apple’s claims. You can’t count on liking the keyboard. But, if you’re a Mac devotee ready to move past the Air — not back to a lower-powered MacBook — this is what Apple is offering. Take it or leave it.

The launch of this year's MacBook Pro caused a lot of consternation among the Mac faithful, with complaints focused on higher prices, the wholesale move to USB-C, storage limits on entry-level models and a 16GB ceiling on RAM. Those latter two prompted my colleague, Computerworld freelance writer Michael deAgonia, to go on an extended rant during my "Mingis on Tech" show. (See the video below.) He's not alone; columnist Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has doubts as well.

Review: Apple MacBook Pro With Touch Bar
Source: Wired Magazine English Archive.org version
The new MacBook Pro is a terrific laptop and, like the super-skinny MacBook, a clear indication of where most of the computing world is going. But comes with growing pains while your workflow and other devices adjust to a new way of doing things. I can eke another nine months or so out of my old Pro before springing for the upgrade. You probably can too. But we all need to start getting ready for the one-port, no-wires, un-repairable future now, because it’s coming.

For the Mac faithful: Should you upgrade from an older MacBook Pro? Yes, provided you're willing to move from USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 2 devices to USB-C–Thunderbolt 3. If you have a 2014 or 2015 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, you should probably hold off, unless you really, really want the Touch Bar. The benefits of the new processor and screen alone aren't worth the trouble of getting used to the new keyboard and USB-C interface. If you're considering the base-level MacBook Pro, we think it's worth the extra $300 for this model, for its faster processor and the Touch Bar's potential utility. And if you need a larger screen, the 15-inch MacBook Pro might be the right choice, since it delivers more memory, a powerful Core i7 processor, and discrete AMD Radeon graphics, but it will cost you at least $2,499.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is the best-designed laptop in the world, without question. But this base-spec model is unbalanced: it costs too much for how fast it is compared to the competition and it has too few ports. Apple will be hoping the version with Touch Bar is a more attractive proposition.

13-inch MacBook Pro review: Too many tradeoffs
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
For someone in my shoes, this 13-inch MacBook Pro is preferable to the 12-inch MacBook in Apple’s current lineup, and a solid replacement for my aging 13-inch MacBook Air. Its speed gains over the early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro are marginal, but the graphics performance is much improved. If this machine isn’t Pro enough to do your best work, the Touch Bar models (especially the 15-inch version) have better specs—or you could try to hold out even longer for next year’s models, which will hopefully have Kaby Lake processors and perhaps 32GB of RAM.

With its solid feel, bright bold screen, clean lines, large touch pad, and svelte three-pound frame, Apple's new entry-level MacBook Pro is a very good light laptop. If you've been waiting for a Retina-screen replacement for the 13-inch MacBook Air, it's well worth considering, since a redesign of that laptop seems unlikely, at least anytime soon.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
