When Apple released the MacBook Pro with (and without) Touch Bar last year, there was one glaring hole in its specs: it didn't use the latest Kaby Lake series Intel processors. Apple has now rectified this, and the 2017 MacBook Pro Kaby Lake vers...
There’s no doubt that Apple’s new MacBook Pro is a sizable step in the right direction. They’re universally slimmer, lighter, faster and more pleasant to use than their predecessors. There is a price to pay, however: the cheapest MacBook Pro you can buy is £1,249...

It's always an event when Apple launches a MacBook, both literally and figuratively. This year though MacBook Pro fans will have to settle for an internal spec improvement rather than radical design overhaul. As has been the case since Apple ditched the...
It's excellent news that Apple has moved to the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors, we are also pleased to see new graphics cards. Performance is outstanding. The 15-inch MacBook Pro would still benefit from a few other pro features, a 4K displ...

Buy from Apple Arriving a mere seven months after its predecessor, the 2017 MacBook Pro largely catches up with the competition performance-wise – but the aesthetically-beautiful design hampers its practical usefulness. As someone who appreciates desig...
There are main reasons to wail on the MacBook Pro – the largely pointless Touch Bar, the annoying lack of even a single USB port (where's my adapter gone, damnit) – but I'm happy to say that the MacBook Pro is back. Especially if you don't like touchscree...

As has been the case since Apple ditched the 17-inch MacBook Pro back in 2012, there are two sizes of MacBook Pro. The 13-inch and the 15-inch model. As we said in our review of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the 15-inch model is much more deserving of the name...
It's excellent news that Apple has moved to the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors. Of course the eighth generation chips probably won't be that far away but if we always waited for the next big thing we'd never get anything new to play with.Ta...

In recent years Apple's often been criticised for a supposed lack of innovation. It wasn't the first to launch a smartwatch or a tablet, and its smartphones are all incremental improvements over the previous models. "When's Apple going to do something ge...
It's too early to tell if the Touch Bar is going to be as indispensible as Touch ID, but from what I've experienced, it's a finely executed fresh feature - but one that really needs third party support to help it realise its true potential.There are plent...
