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
The editors didn't like
Very expensive
No FireWire 800 or Ethernet ports
No optical drive
Very difficult to repair or upgrade
15inch model might be better value
Considering that this looks and feels a lot like the 13-inch MacBook Air
You may be in for a bit of sticker shock
Especially as the base model only includes 128GB of SSD storage
The base near the monitor gets quite hot during heavy tasks. Still waiting for everything to be high DPI compatible. Weight will make some consider the Air instead
Very expensive for performance level, Increased costs for repair and battery replacement, Few applications ready for Retina at this time, Performance issues with some browsing
Since the new laptop is so much thinner than the previous model, the cooling system had to be completely redesigned in order to compensate for the same-ish thermals in a smaller case. New vents have been sliced into the bottom sides of the notebook – thes...

Abstract: This week we take a look at Apple's brand new MacBook Pro with Retina display, arguably the best laptop ever made. It's thinner, it's lighter, and it's borderline insane in many ways — a whopping 2880 x 1800-pixel display, no ethernet port, no optical dri...
Abstract: The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is more tempting in the flesh and many MacBook buyers will up sell themselves to the pricey machine once they put their hands on it. There's no doubt that the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display sets a new standard,...
The screen is the best that we've seen on a 13inch laptop and the battery life is still the best in the business..
The premium price for the Retina display account for almost a third of the price, meaning a non Retina version costs substantially less
Apple's latest MacBook is thin, light and boasts excellent battery life, but the premium price doesn't offer the value of the previous MacBook Pro which remains on sale....

Stunning display; faster
Memory not upgradeable
The new Retina MacBook Pros represent a subtle refresh to the line of beautiful, ultra-high-resolution portables introduced last year. The price reductions for the 13-inch models make them a better bargain than before, while the 16GB of RAM in the high-en...
Expensive, No dedicated graphics, No Touch, Decent but not great battery life
Apple's MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display is a worthy smaller sibling to the earlier 15-inch version, bringing the MacBook Pro and Air lines closer together than ever with its gorgeous, sleek chassis. It's beautifully crafted, offers great ergonomic...
Stunning, super high definition screen, Slimmer and lighter than previous model, Sturdy build quality
Ludicrously expensive, Performance is only average, No Ethernet port, No option to upgrade RAM
The 13-inch MacBook Pro boasts a superb high-resolution display and a slimmer, lighter physical design than its predecessor. Sadly, its average performance doesn't justify the astonishingly high price....
Abstract: Apple squeezes a gorgeous Retina display into its slimmed-down 13in MacBook Pro, but at a staggering priceRating: 4Average: 4 (1 vote) Apple has finally revealed its long overdue redesign of the 13in Macbook Pro. With the metal unibody chassis shrinkin...
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display isn't a major leap forward in technology, but it didn't need to be. A better processor, battery life, faster storage and a Force Touch touchpad make it a worthwhile upgrade for those using almost any non-Retina...
