You can upgrade the SSD at time of purchase up to 2TB, which will increase the final price by an eye-watering $1,200.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2,399, but the second-level $2,799 configuration comes set up for power users, with the same 16GB of RAM, a faster processor, a faster graphics chip, and twice the amount of storage (512GB) on the solid-state drive (SSD). For more about the Touch Bar and Touch ID, check out our review of the new 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro ( at Amazon), as its Touch Bar has the same physical characteristics and functionality.

As on the current iPhones, Touch ID can be used to unlock the laptop from Sleep mode (after entering the password the first time you power up), or as a security safeguard when buying items online.
A physical Power button to the right of the Touch Bar integrates a Touch ID sensor.

The Touch Bar is cool, and while there aren't a lot of programs that use it yet, you may get to the point that you won't have to consult the manual for the more seldom-used commands in any programs optimized for the Touch Bar. If you want the regular function keys, just hold down the Fn key at the bottom of the keyboard to make them appear. It's constantly reacting to what you do, as well, so hitting Command+S in most programs will cause it to display the familiar Save, Don't Save, and Cancel buttons. For example, instead of having to remember that the F7 key brings up the Layers panel in Adobe Photoshop, a button marked Layers appears on the Touch Bar while you're manipulating a masked image. In any case, USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 is clearly the future of physical connectors on PCs, and switching over completely will help you get ahead of the curve.Īnother innovative feature is the Touch Bar with Touch ID, which replaces the physical function keys with a touch screen. Other 15-inch laptops, like the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Pro and the Dell XPS 15 Touch, have room for full-size HDMI ports and USB 3.0 ports. You'll need a $9 USB-C–to–USB adapter if you want to connect a USB hard drive, a $19 USB-C–to–Lightning cable for your iPhone, and a $29 Thunderbolt 3–to–Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect a Thunderbolt display. Using smaller ports helped Apple shrink the laptop, but we'd prefer at least one USB 3.0 (Type-A) port for older accessories. There are two on each side (and you can charge the laptop from any of them), along with the standard headphone jack on the right. The MacBook Pro is equipped with four USB-C/ Thunderbolt 3 ports. Competitors like the Asus ZenBook Pro ($1,249.00 at Amazon) and the Dell XPS 15 have 4K-resolution (3,840-by-2,160) displays and more desktop screen space, but downscaled 4K video still looks excellent on the MacBook Pro, especially when you turn up the brightness all the way. Thankfully, the increased screen brightness is able to overpower most reflections, but you still may notice some while viewing particularly dark images. Before 2015, MacBook Pros had a matte-finish option, but it's no longer available. The Dell XPS 15 Touch ($949.99 at Dell) increases that range to 100 percent Adobe RGB (which includes DCI-P3 as a setting), but we have no doubt that photographers and videographers will appreciate the brightness and accuracy of the MacBook Pro screen. It's certainly smaller and lighter than competitors like the Asus ZenBook Pro UX501VW-DS71T, the HP Spectre x360 15t (15-ap012dx), and the Dell XPS 15 Touch (9550). When I placed it into a backpack made for 15-inch laptops, the eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack ($109.99 at Amazon), there was enough room in the main compartment for a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 ($555.00 at Amazon) or an Apple iPad Pro ($313.00 at Best Buy). Measuring 0.61 by 13.75 by 9.48 inches (HWD) and weighing 3.99 pounds, it's smaller all the way around and lighter (by half a pound) than the 2015 model. Like the 13-inch version with the Touch Bar, the 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with an aluminum body clad in Space Gray (like our review unit) or Silver.
But overall, this is the high-end desktop-replacement laptop we'd recommend for power users in the graphic arts or anyone who wants the ultimate in a fast and future-minded large-screen laptop. You will have to get used to a shallower keyboard, a lack of USB 3.0 ports, which will most likely require dongles, and the MacBook Pro ( at Amazon) isn't cheap (though most high-end machines of this caliber have similar price tags). It's also equipped with Apple's new Touch Bar with Touch ID, which gives you adaptable function keys that help you more easily interact with apps. The 2016 redesign is slimmer and lighter, with the formidable computing power, superb build quality, and long battery life that you expect from the MacBook Pro. The 15-inch MacBook Pro (starts at $2,399 $2,799 as tested) is the closest you can get to toting the power of an Apple desktop like the iMac ( at Amazon) around the office or in your carry-on luggage.
