If you don’t mind using Windows, you can get a touchscreen Surface Book for about the same price at entry level, and an HP Spectre x360 for way less - about $900. In fact, it’s about $400 more than the entry-level MacBook Air, which Apple has, as of now, stopped selling. The starting price for a 15-inch MacBook Pro, Touch Bar included, is $2,399.

The entry-level price for a 13-inch MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar is $1,499 the Touch Bar will add an extra $300.

So should you buy one? Well, that depends. The only thing that seems to have been meaningfully upgraded is the internal storage, with 256GB onboard storage on an entry-level model, going up to 2TB. Memory is basically the same, coming in at 8GB or 16GB of RAM to run your apps. Plus, you still have an integrated graphics card, so you can’t ramp up your MacBook’s graphics capabilities. The internal processors are Skylake-era Intel Core i5 and iCore i7 chips, and those chips have been out for over a year and are somewhat old hat. Yes, there’s a new fan system and boomier speakers (welcome updates, both), but they kept the screen resolution the same, just making it brighter. You’d expect a little more work to be done on the guts. The keyboard, Touch Bar, and build are solid design upgrades, but the last time the MacBook Pro had a revamp was four years ago. One of the things that’s striking about the new MacBook Pro is how it's similar to the old model. There’s still a headphone jack on it, though, for what it’s worth. Apple might be intending to give the industry a little push in an inevitable USB-C direction, but for right now, they made a laptop for 2020 in 2016. (This is the same complaint you saw when Apple released its single USB-C ported MacBook.) The USB-C standard is certainly the future for peripherals, but Big Dongle had its best Thursday yet. But have four of them on one MacBook Pro and zero USB-A ports for any peripherals will lead to lots of headaches - new users will need to buy adapters and dongles for everything they already have that they’d want to plug in, such as a spare mouse. They transfer data incredibly fast, and charge a machine in no time at all. You can’t deny the utility of USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 ports. More Thunderbolt 3 Ports Means More Dongles It seems Apple leads the way in meaningful design upgrades, but skimps on the stuff many people would find useful and could compete for a Microsoft lover’s affections. Touchscreens let you do touch gestures with a bigger window than a thin strip, and really let you interact more with whatever you’re making. Dell’s excellent XPS 13, the Microsoft Surface Book and Surface Pro tablets, the HP Spectre x360 - they all have touchscreens. Touchscreen laptops are fairly standard in the industry now. It begs the question: Why didn’t Apple make it a touchscreen laptop? It’s interesting, but imagine doing all those complex, often delicate interactions with a thin strip of land at the top of your keyboard using only your finger. In the DJ pro app you can add bumps and bursts and fuzz and feedback with a touch, and slide your finger to amplify it. In Photoshop, you can adjust color by sliding. But then you have all the swiping and sliding. These short, contextual interactions make a sort of sense, like just another key you have to press on a keyboard. In Photos, you can swipe through a photo album with previews of your photos on the bar.

The Touch Bar can also adapt to whatever software you’re using, and this is where it goes from “neat” to a little silly: You have quick-type options in email. Both drop about half a pound from the old versions. (It’s hard to imagine Apple highlighting anything that’s added some weight in the past year.) To be precise, the new 13-incher is 14.9 mm thick and the 15-incher is 15.5 mm thick, compared to the previous fat 18 mm. The new MacBook Pros come in either 13- or 15-inch sizes (that’s screen size), and are thinner and lighter than their past iterations. If Apple machines excel anywhere, it’s in the design.

Let’s break down the new computers, upgrade by upgrade. But they’re a pretty penny, and there are plenty of laptops that offer similar “new” features out there if you’re one of the few looking for an upgrade. With an updated design, a simplified port arrangement, a Force Touch trackpad with slicker keyboard, and a slim, interactive Touch Bar, there was plenty of new stuff to be had. And they delivered on Thursday, announcing a new line of MacBook Pro computers.

With the PC market deflating like a balloon, no one breathes more hot air back into the mix than Apple.
