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
Impeccable finishing, Quality IPS display, CPU, RAM & SSD make for a highperformance combo, Quick startup and shutdown, Zero noise
Glossy screen, Not for gamers, No Ethernet
After the stellar 15" version, this year's 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display won us over with its impeccable finishing, quality screen, silent fan, battery life and processing power. All Apple has to do to reach perfection is add Ethernet and lower the ...

Apple's late 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display isn't for everyone. Many will baulk at the price, and even those who are willing to pay it should ask themselves whether the small saving and slightly smaller size is enough to recommend the 13-in...
In all fairness, the 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display is undoubtedly a terrific laptop. It provides good performance and battery life, lightweight design, and a screen that none of its PC rivals can even come close to matching. But at almost £1500...
Abstract: The recently-released 15-inch MacBook Pro With Retina Display was undeniably impressive, combining an ultra-high-resolution display with a high-performance Intel i7 processor and an improved, lightweight design. Its £1,799 price tag did, admittedly, put i...

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is a great. It's perhaps not the lightest 13-inch laptop currently around, but it is one of the best-looking ones. If low weight is important to you and you want an Apple product, then the MacBook Air could be an option. The Air ...

Dazzling Retina display; Smallest pro laptop gets even smaller; Reduced screen glare; USB 3.0 support; HDMI connectivity
Users will need to adjust for missing features; Memory and storage not user upgradeable; Limited to 8GB of memory
Who is the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro for? It's ideal for professional users who want a large, yet compact digital workspace that doesn't sacrifice a lot of processing performance. The MacBook Air is still the choice for users for whom weight is a top pri...
