Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro Retina

The MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch is Apple's aluminum laptop with a 2560 x 1600 display, an Intel dual-core processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 128, 256 or 512 GB SSD. Its strengths are the sharp screen, long battery life, light 3.5 lb body and macOS. It suits students, writers and office workers who want a durable everyday laptop. Against newer MacBook Air and Pro models it is heavier, has fewer ports and uses older Intel chips, so it trails them on speed and efficiency.

Questions and answers

Is the MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch still worth buying?
It is a good choice for light work like writing, browsing and school tasks. For video editing or heavy multitasking, newer Apple Silicon MacBooks are much faster.
How does it compare with the MacBook Air?
The Pro has a sharper Retina screen and more ports than older Airs, but it is heavier. Newer M-series Airs beat it on speed, battery and weight.
Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?
No. The RAM is soldered and the SSD is not user-replaceable, so pick the 256 GB or 512 GB model if you store a lot of files.
Does it have a touchscreen?
No. Mac laptops do not have touchscreens; the Retina display is not touch-enabled.
What ports does it have?
It has HDMI plus Thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack. You need adapters for USB-A, SD cards and Ethernet.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at up to 12 hours. Real use with browsing and video usually lands closer to 8 to 10 hours.
