Considering that the MacBook has a comparable price for a lower-spaced machine, the 13-inch MacBook Pro looks like a good deal.Īs for the top of the range 13-inch model, we think that at £1,949 this might be a bit overpriced given the fact that it’s not got discrete graphics or a quad-core processor like it’s larger siblings. 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).

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.
