CPU updates offer big leaps in performance; phenomenal battery life; excellent ergonomics, keyboard, and large, smooth, multitouch clickpad are still among the best available; 720p HD Webcam.
Graphics performance is slightly worse than last year's 13-inch Pro; 13-inch screen resolution still low compared with the MacBook Air; Thunderbolt port still an unknown until accessories become available; limited upgrade options; expensive; no HDMI or Blu-ray.
Despite retaining the same price and look as last year's model, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro's significant CPU updates and fantastic battery life make it one of the top laptops we've reviewed, provided you can live with passable integrated graphics.

We purchased this lap top for my teenager for Christmas and it was the best money spent in a long time. My wife has a 2008 model and there is a significant difference in graphics and speed. My son loves it and couldn't be happier. He thinks he's a "Mac" now (no pun intended) allen.wells@leggett.com but I call him macaroni.
This is the best Mac that I had so far and all my investment is worthwhile. It is fast and stylish. All other Macs that I had lasted for 10 years! So, it is a good saving on tech when you buy this Mac! :)
This is a gret machine, really fast and powerful. Doesn't really make u wait. It is very light which makes it a very portable device so it is not a nuisance to carry around. the only drawback for me is that because i was a windows user all my life, and this was a leap of faith change for me. I hate that i have to get mac versions for everything and there are many things that dont have a mac version so i am left out like a leopard. Otherwise its a terrific machine and the multi-touch pad is a winner.
Excellent product! Fast and clean. Good for gaming, surfing, productivity, video and audio editing and production. Great product.
This is the great laptop with excellent design and user friendly Mac os interface. For mobility good screen 13 inch
