When a tablet won't due.

There are numerous compromises one makes with technology. A phone can do a lot, but it is a tiny screen. You give up the ability to do long form, thoughtful work. A tablet makes consuming media more pleasant, but not so universal in content creation. A MacBook is only a tiny bit more to carry than a tablet but much more versatile and efficient. All you give up with a MacBook compared to larger laptops is extra USB ports. If you rarely plug in a USB device, you won't miss the ports at all. Super thin and light but with a full keyboard and trackpad.

The new MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter.¹ It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display ever. And it introduces the revolutionary Touch Bar—a Multi-Touch– enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to what you want to do, when you want to do it. The new MacBook Pro is built on groundbreaking ideas. And it’s ready for yours.

Yes, having only Thunderbolt 3 ports will require a few adapters to connect to current and older peripherals, but in 2 years this MacBook Pro will still be up to date. I questioned the value of the TouchBar and could live without it but it is something that I find convenient and use with some frequency. I do very much miss a built in SD card slot.

Semi Permanent HD Expansion

Because its smooth tab barely sticks outside of a USB port, you can leave it permanently installed. If you were limited to buying a laptop with a small SSD, this is useful storage for bulging music and/or photo libraries.

Bruce's early recordings give perspective to his recounting of playing the bars in Asbury Park. It also reminds us that great musicians were not always so.
The later work is nice if you don't already own it.

Apple MacBooks only have a single USB-C port but 98% of the existing computers have none. This dual connector design lets you sneaker net files between all computers. Works with Thunderbolt 3 ports, also.

Often copied, but still unique

Apple introduced its all-in-one, uncluttered iMac desktop computer in 1998. It reversed the trend of consumer computers from being a cluttered collection of boxes with a zillion wires to a sleek package that looks good and uses one cable (power) to function. In the process it lost the ability to be upgraded after purchase, but is usually powerful enough not to need upgrading. Skip the cheapest iMac, you may actually outgrow it, but any of them above that are terrific.

Entry level serious Apple laptop.

I love the MacBook's light and thin design with its gorgeous Retina screen, but with low power processors and only the one combo connector, its ability to handle pro apps is somewhat constricted. This MacBook Pro has 2, more powerful, "Thunderbolt 3" connectors and a real i series processors and a slightly larger beautiful display. Basically the same price as the MacBook but a little thicker and heavier but the versatility gains are substantial.

Horrible Update

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you own a Mac and used Quicken 2007 or older you will not recognize this app at all. An hour into the use I still couldn't figure out how to correctly enter a deposit to a checking account. To add insult to injury there is no way to upgrade from Quicken 2004 or earlier. You must upgrade to Quicken 2006 (unavailable from Quicken) then upgrade to Quicken 2007 (try to find it, I dare you) and then you can upgrade. But if you can make Quicken 2007 work on your Mac, never give it up.

I love the keyboard and trackpad and Apple Retina Displays are the best. I miss having multiple USB ports, but with one simple adapter (but about $70) you get all the major ports plus a charging connection.

will this work (bluetooth) with my apple TV; my older MacAir would not, nor could it be connected via HDMI
I would also like to confirm that I could play my DVD's via the onboard burner? and then put them up on my big screen. Would that be hardwired HDMI or Bluetooth?
I also have an external DVD burner. Will these ports drive that? Again, I was told that even the new MacAir would not do that as they are not powered ports and most DVD's require that?

Absolutely. It has Bluetooth 4.0.
No need for an external DVD burner as it has one built in, but it does have 2 powered USB3 ports.
The Air supports the Apple USB SuperDrive and generic USB burners when it is plugged in to its charger.

With TurboWrite technology, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500B 500GB internal SATA hard drive allows you to quickly update files. The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data private.
How does installing an SSD affect you warrantly in a new computer? Does it void your warranty?
Varies by brand. If, to install it, you have to get to a screw under a "Warranty Void If..." label, you have your answer. I usually keep the original drive so as to be able to restore the computer to stock. That also allows me to have the ability to test to see if the problem requiring warranty service is drive or software related, or a real hardware problem elsewhere. Make sure to use the right tools when doing the swap or installation and refer to repair guides at iFixit.com or YouTube.
