It makes for a wide range of options that should suit everyone from those looking for a 'Retina MacBook Air' to those who want maximum Mac performance in as portable a laptop as possible. Jump up to 15-inches and quad core Kaby Lake, and you're starting at 2,399.00, with BTO options, including discreet graphics, that can take you all the way to 4,199.00. A maxed out 13-inch MacBook Pro will run you $2,899.00. If you want a faster i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, more SSD storage, 4x USB-C / Thunderbolt 3, and Touch Bar with Touch ID, the price goes up. If price is your most important feature, that gets you into the MacBook Pro for less than last year.

This year, the 13-inch sans Touch Bar has been made even more affordable.ДЇor $1299 you now get a 13-inch DCI-P3 Retina display, 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Kaby Lake Core i5 processor that Turbo Boosts up to 3.6GHz, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory, a 128GB SSD, and 2x USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 ports. The 2017 MacBook Pro comes in three models: 13-inch, 13-inch with Touch Bar and Touch ID, and 15-inch with Touch Bar and Touch ID. And even more so than you might initially expect. I suspect, for the vast majority of people, they will. For others, like me, they'll be terrific and once again deliver on the future, right now, today.Д®ither way, unless you loved the new MacBook Pro at first sight, I strongly encourage you to try before you buy, and when you buy, push them as hard as you need to, as fast as you can, so you can see if they meet your real-world needs.

What this means to you will depend entirely on your personal preferences and professional requirements. They've got Touch Bar and Touch ID but not a touch screen, and there's no option for anything but Apple's incredibly flat, incredibly divisive new keyboard. (eGPU, coming soon, might fix that - but at an additional cost.) They've got a 16 GB memory limit that, while mitigated by compression and SSD speed, may not prove enough for the most demanding professionals. This will cost significantly more than what you plan to spend ($2299 at Apple Customize MacBook Pro - Apple or $2199 at B&H Photo B&H Photo Video), but will comfortably last you well into the future, while you'd have to live with the 2017's 13' shortfalls for all those years.But they've got graphics that, while they can run dual 5K displays at the high end, can't run VR or the highest end games. It also has all the ports you'll likely need. I'd recommend a 2015 model, still produced new by Apple, with a quad core CUP upgraded to 2.5GHz to get a discrete/dedicated GPU, 16GBs of RAM stock, and upgraded to 512GBs of storage.

On the plus side, yes, you will have portability.ДЄn alternative would be to upgrade to the 3.1GHz 13' MBP with 4 T3/USB-C ports, but then you're spending a lot more money, plus you'd still need to upgrade the RAM and storage. That means you'll also need adapters for all of your existing peripherals. You will have only two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports. The integrated graphics may 'get the job done' but will likely be a bottleneck in some of the work you're doing.

Even then, you'll eventually be off-loading data to an external HD, which will then need to be backed up in addition to your internal drive. 512 should be a minimum for your work just to house your apps, works in progress, and some space for saving data. You really need to get 16GBs of RAM now, as it is soldered to the logic board and can never be upgraded.ДЎ28GBs of storage is simply too small. This will only get worse as OSes and apps get more and more RAM hungry. The dual core CPU will do the job, although slowly.ДЁGBs of RAM is the absolute minimum for now, and will likely slow things down too, as the Mac will have to use slower Swap instead of RAM in your work. I think it's safe to say you would regret that purchase.

$1299 gets you a dual core 2.3GHz CPU with only 8GBs of RAM, 128GBs of storage, and the lowest integrated graphics you can get with a MBP.
