Apple MacBook Pro 13 2017 Touch Bar [MPXX2]

Ultrabooks of the "apple" corporation have been standards for a long time. Their products inspire confidence and love among consumers. There are three main versions in the current MacBook Pro line: 13" without Touch Bar, 13" with Touch Bar, and 15" with Touch Bar. In terms of price / performance ratio, this particular MacBook is the most popular.

Peculiarities

The Touch Bar is a small touch screen that sits just above the keyboard. It completely replaces the Fn keys without giving anything worthwhile in return. Statistics show that it is not as useful in everyday use as Apple marketers imply, and for those who like to work "in the blind" it is not at all suitable.

With the release of the Apple MacBook Pro 2016 and above, the idea of an ultrabook has changed somewhat. In this generation of "apple", a Thunderbolt v3 connector based on USB type C was implemented, which allows you to connect numerous various peripherals to your computer.

Design

Ultrabook is presented in two colours: white (White) and grey (Space Grey). The design of the current generation of MacBook Pro is nothing superfluous: it is thin and concise. But for elegance, we paid with a lot of useful connectors, as well as a luminous "apple".

Screen

The screen is one of the best deals on the market. High-quality IPS matrix with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, excellent brightness and contrast. I would like to note the anti-reflective coating: you can work on a sunny day with comfort.

Iron

It is equipped with both Core i5 7267U and Core i7 7567U processors, the amount of RAM varies from 8 GB to 16 GB, and an SSD drive from 256 GB to 1024 GB. The most balanced solution, in our opinion, is the version with the Core i5 7267U and a 512 GB drive.

Battery life, at the level of most ultrabooks. With an average load, it is able to work 7 – 8 hours.
