The basic general functions include buttons that bring up a brightness slider, mute or alter volume, and let you access the escape function, which is in the bar's top left corner in lieu of a physical key. It also has an integrated Touch ID sensor for security and login. It's about 10 inches across, and both replaces the function keys and offers a wide assortment of software-specific buttons and shortcuts. This MacBook Pro includes the Touch Bar, which is the long, thin touch-enabled screen along the top of the keyboard that debuted on 2016 MacBooks. The keyboard is responsive, but I don't enjoy using it. With so little key travel, there's no feedback to your key presses, so it feels like you're typing on a hard, flat surface. On the other hand, the keyboard is very shallow. This laptop wasn't running MacOS High Sierra during my testing, but you should be able to breeze through the new file system and updated applications with this touchpad when the new OS launches in the fall. It tracks smoothly and the various Force Touch presses, which allow you to click and hold down on the trackpad to take advantage of additional features work well, but I wish it was more sensitive to light taps for selecting files and folders without pushing enough for a click.
You'll never feel cramped as you pan or use the gesture commands built into macOS, and the trackpad offers good palm rejection, which is important with all that surface area. One of the first things you may notice on the new MacBooks is the huge trackpad, which measures 7.25 inches diagonally. The Asus Zenbook Pro UX501VW-DS71T more closely mimics the look of the MacBook Pro than the XPS does, but is bigger than both at 0.8 by 15.1 by 10 inches and 5 pounds. The 2017 Dell XPS 15 Touch, which is aluminum with a carbon fiber keyboard deck, is just a little heavier and thicker, but in the same ballpark at 0.66 by 14.06 by 9.27 inches and 4.44 pounds. The size is nearly identical to the 2016 model (which has the same dimensions and is a few tenths of a pound heavier).
#HOW MUCH APPLE CHARGE FOR SCREEN REPLACEMENT MAC PRO 2017 PORTABLE#
It's quite portable for a fast, high-end machine, a product area that Apple originally engineered with this very line. Our test unit is a sharp Space Gray (the laptop is also available in silver), measures 0.61 by 13.75 by 9.48 inches (HWD), and weighs 4.02 pounds. The 2017 MacBook Pro looks the same as last year's model, and the beloved aluminum build is as sleek and premium as ever. That said, the MacBook Pro doesn't unseat the 2017 Dell XPS 15 Touch, which is just as well built and delivers a higher-resolution 4K touch screen and better performance for almost $800 less, so it remains our top pick for premium desktop-replacement laptops. If you're a Mac user firmly set in the Apple ecosystem, looking to spend for a worthy upgrade, this top-of-the line laptop will not disappoint. This is the best 15-inch MacBook Pro yet. (See the iMacs we reviewed last month.) With its latest 15-inch MacBook Pro (starts at $2,399 $2,799 as tested), Apple opts for new processors-Intel's latest Kaby Lake generation-as the main focus of the upgrades bringing more speed and category-leading battery life to an already excellent, well-designed laptop with a big, beautiful display. There haven't been any revolutionary changes to the company's product lines this year so far, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the good just keeps getting better. The theme for 2017 at Apple seems to be evolution.
