Far and away the most compelling addition to the system, the skinny touchscreen Retina display offers a new input paradigm. The road to transition, however, will be paved with adapters.Īnd then, of course, there’s the Touch Bar. In a few years, perhaps we’ll laugh about all of this, wondering what we were so up in arms about, content with the uniformity and ability to charge from each and load up our desks with giant 5K monitors.
The ports have been - well, they’ve been changed, in typical Apple fashion, a move toward future-proofing with a fair bit of growing pains, like the SCSI and Ethernet ports, optical drive and headphone jack before it. The internals have been souped up, along with the keyboard, touchpad and speakers. It’s slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, while maintaining a majority of its iconic aluminum design language.

A full four years after the last major upgrade, the new MacBook Pro is finally here. I’ve promised to put it out to pasture many times over, patiently awaiting the company to offer a truly meaningful refresh of the line, but each year I’ve held out, largely unimpressed by what the company has had to offer as it diverted resources to other product lines. It’s traveled the world in a carry-on and survived several Apple live blogs and CESes, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion and C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. My 2012 MacBook Pro has been through a lot. Also, the battery’s been having issues for a while. The little black rubber bumpers have fallen off the bottom and, every so often, there’s an audible buzz of a fan rumbling from under the hood that can only be silenced with a swift smack by the heel of my hand. The hinge is loose, so the screen shakes when someone walks by. The anti-glare laminate began bubbling up some time ago, spreading across the screen like an untreatable rash, fogging up the webcam in the process.
