Apple has avoided the PC pratfall of having one USB 2 and one USB 3 socket, thank goodness!Īlso, in an exciting first for Apple, excluding the Mac Mini, there's an HDMI output - essential now for flexible video work. The Apple MacBook Pro also has a new bevy of ports - additions that are long overdue, some would say - and it's good to see that there are now two Thunderbolt ports and two USB 3 ports. It might be thinner, it might be lighter, but it is still a big beast to take out and about. However for most the idea of lugging around a 15-inch laptop will be too much for most. You're getting a flagship product that your colleagues will be jealous of, and a screen that’ll you’ll want to keep looking at again and again. We would argue that it is actually great value for the money. The cheapest option is £1,800 - a premium of £300 on the Retina display-free 15-inch MacBook Pro. That said, the time we've spent with it tells us that it's more than just a gimmick, it's a genuine tool for people who use laptops day-in, day-out. It can afford to take risks and in so doing, give us a product that pushes boundaries. And this is where the wealth of Apple comes in.
If other firms tried this, they'd show it off at trade shows behind a bit of Perspex but would never risk trying to sell it. Where Apple is different from other manufacturers is that it has taken its dreams and turned them into a product we can buy.
