The keyboard’s keys seem to have been melted down into millimeter-thick slabs: they’re wider and a little more densely packed than on an Air or earlier Pro models. The interior of the new MacBook Pro is another spot that will be familiar to MacBook users, but largely foreign to everyone else. That used to frustrate me on sunny days with the Air, and it felt like a distinctly un-Apple-like oversight in the overall design.) (One advantage to the new Apple logo is that you’ll no longer see its ghostly presence on your screen when there’s a strong light behind your laptop. Yes, this is very much the MacBook design scaled up. The final vestiges of plastic on the exterior have been shorn off, replaced by a metal bottom to the display and a sapphire glass Apple logo that no longer lights up. They are two separate parts, but when the MacBook Pro is closed, they feel like one cohesive, solid slab of aluminum. Run your finger along the spartan, portless side of this laptop and you won’t detect even a millimeter’s discrepancy between the bottom chassis and the top lid. The new MacBook Pro is precision engineering at its absolute finest. And it all starts with the industrial design.Īpple’s industrial design remains best-in-class

So Apple’s first task is to simply get its slimmest 13-inch laptop back on par with its Windows rivals. The Air once stood alone as an ultra-portable with negligible compromises, but now there’s competition, and the Air has fallen dramatically behind with its anachronistic, washed-out screen. In the meantime, Lenovo’s Yoga laptops reinvented the hinge, Dell’s XPS 13 reinvented the display, Razer reinvented the keyboard, and Microsoft reconfigured our entire idea of a laptop. But the Air design hasn’t changed in six long years.
Its familiar wedge shape has been copied by almost everyone, and it has served as a benchmark for thinness, battery life, and industrial design in its category. The MacBook Air kicked off the ultrabook trend among laptops before Intel even coined that term. So while Apple has been busy crafting the Pro MacBook, the way it will be received by most people is the way that I’m addressing it today: as a Pro MacBook Air. Instead, the world’s coffee shops are filled with nomadic professionals seeking an Apple computer to replace the much more ubiquitous, but now dated, MacBook Air.

Professional video editors and photographers have been waiting for a new Pro laptop - but this midrange MacBook Pro probably isn’t that. Logical though it may be for Apple, this MacBook Pro presents a dichotomy. Apple is determined to force the future into existence, and this laptop is just the next logical step. All of this, along with the solid-state Force Touch trackpad, expresses Apple’s modernized laptop design, whose signature change is the frenzied push of USB-C as the unitary replacement for all the world’s ports. You also get the new option to style it out in a handsome space gray and an upgraded version of the MacBook’s super flat butterfly-mechanism keyboard. This $1,499 MacBook Pro strips connectivity down to just a headphone jack on its right side and two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 on the left. The familiar MagSafe charger is gone, retired along with Apple’s SD card reader, HDMI output, and old-school USB ports. Why does it feel more like a MacBook? Well, just look at it. If you wanted a bigger and more powerful MacBook, this is it
