The new MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter.¹ It has the brightest, most colorful display ever on a Mac notebook. And it features up to 10 hours of battery life.² It’s a notebook built for the work you do every day. Ready to go anywhere a great idea takes you.
I have been using Apple products for the last few years and absolutely love them. I purchased an iMac from Best Buy two years ago and have enjoyed using it, so I decided to add a laptop to my collection. After looking at all of the Apple choices, I decided to go with the 2016 MacBook Pro. I purchased the one without the touch bar. Although it is a very cool feature, I didn't feel like spending the extra $300 for something that I would probably only use to impress my friends. I have no regrets. I find it very fast for my tasks (listening to music, web browsing, some garage band stuff, email, etc.). The Retina display is beautiful. I love the feel of the keyboard. It is very lightweight and attractive. I thought I would regret having only two Thunderbolt ports, but in all honesty I will usually only use one for charging my MacBook and the other for either charging my iPhone or saving to a flash drive. I immediately purchased two USB C to USB B dongles at Best Buy when they were on sale for only $10. Battery life is better than any laptop I've owned. If you are worried about not having the touch bar, no worries...this is a great computer without it. Everyday I am excited to use this baby! One of my best purchases I've ever made. Thanks Apple and Best Buy!
