The editors liked
Incredible screen
Ivy Bridge processors
Fast solid state storage
Gestures trackpad
Great battery life
The new 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display adds a screen that's nearly as high-res as the 15-inch version
Making for incredibly crisp text and images. The slimmer body feels much more modern
And the excellent keyboard and trackpad remain
Great screen. Apple's usual excellent keyboard and trackpad. Dual thunderbolt and USB 3.0 gives decent port flexibility. Good battery life. HDMI
