Apple instituted a radical redesign to its laptop range last year by bringing out two new MacBook Pros, each cast from a single block of aluminium. The latest overhaul sees a compact 13-inch model promoted to the Pro line-up with a tempting lower price...

Promoting the 13-inch to the MacBook Pro range has resulted in a higher-powered Mac that isn’t going to break the bank. It’s a great-looking product and, while Apple hasn’t made too many changes on last year’s major overhaul, the a...

Weirdly, the 13 inch MacBook Pro marks a step backwards for Apple. It’s been two years since the company offered a professional-grade laptop in anything less than 15 inches. But here it is, a 13 inch MacBook Pro.Not since the 12 inch PowerBook, dis...

Robust build; low weight; excellent battery life.

No matte screen option; fixed battery may restrict some people.

The 13in MacBook Pro is a highly capable notebook, but we cant help feeling that something is missing, particularly when the old white MacBook has a very similar specification and a lower price. Onboard 3G would be a good fit for such a compact MacBo...

Apples 13in MacBook Pro is the smallest notebook in the companys "Pro" range, but it still packs quite a punch. This laptop is a fantastic compromise between size and power, though its upgrade options could be cheaper. The 13in MacBook Pro can be configured with either a 2.26GHz or 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a choice of either a conventional hard drive (up to 500GB at 5400rpm) or a solid-state drive (128GB or 256GB).
