In terms of the 13-inch model, the new entry-level price drop is refreshing (or rather, the removal of the older 2015 model and the introduction of the new 2017 model at the same price). 3.5GHz Kaby Lake i7 dual-core processor + £270/$300.3.3GHz Kaby Lake i5 dual-core processor + £90/$100.But if you are a creative pro looking for a powerful machine to match your graphics needs you aren’t going to find what you want in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. If you are a user who needs a decent amount of power but you are baulking at the price of the 15-inch MacBook Pro the 13-inch model may well suffice, and if you need a bigger screen you can just plug it into a separate display. The MacBook is also the lighter laptop, if it’s portability you are after – although it has to be said, the Pro is a lot lighter than it was back in 2015.Īnd you do get a lot more in terms of specs from the 13-inch MacBook Pro and we think that makes the machine better value for money than the MacBook. And the same goes for Apple’s consumer-oriented creative apps. That said, in terms of your standard Office apps, such as Apple’s Pages, Numbers and Keynote, but also the Microsoft Office software, we don’t think anyone would be better off with a MacBook Pro than a MacBook. If you are looking for a professional Mac laptop, one you could use in the office or when working at home, then this is more than suitable.
