But if you've been holding out with an aging 2015 MacBook Pro and its HDMI port, well, the new MacBook Pro is worth the price of admission. The highest configuration for the 14-inch MacBook Pro costs an astronomical $5,900-a little more than double the price of a maxed-out 24-inch iMac (though still less than a Mac Pro). That's if you can get past the $2,000 starting price. It finally feels like the MacBook Pro is designed for creative professionals again. But many of the most important changes are features the company is bringing back: more ports, a MagSafe charger, physical function keys, and improved battery life. They come with a lot of firsts: a new display size, the option to mix and match Apple's most powerful chipsets, a screen notch with a 1080p webcam. That's on top of already existing software issues like overheating and lackluster battery life.Īpple's new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros are the beacon of hope you've been waiting for.

These expensive computers have been victim to the infamous Butterfly keyboard, the unintuitive Touch Bar, and a severe reduction in ports. At some point over the past six years, Apple turned its MacBook Pro lineup into a test bed for innovation-or lack thereof.
