Core i9, Meet MacBook Pro
The 2018 MacBook Pro's crowning achievement? Fitting upgraded processors and GPUs into the same enclosure as last year's model without changing the physical design.
Touch the Bar
The Touch Bar includes a power button that doubles as a fingerprint reader, which you can use to unlock your MacBook Pro, permit app installations, and authenticate online purchases using Apple Pay, among other uses.
All USB Type-C on the Left...
You'll only find two USB-C ports on the left edge.
...and on the Right, Too
There are two more on the right, along with a headphone jack. That's all you get, although the USB-C ports do support Thunderbolt 3.
Shallow Key Travel
The MacBook Pro's extremely shallow key travel hasn't changed in this year's model. Whether or not this is a problem is largely a matter of personal preference.
An Excellent, Huge Touchpad
The enormous touchpad is one of the most precise and comfortable pads of any laptop, thanks in part to the fact that it uses haptic feedback to simulate clicks instead of a physical clicking mechanism.
Sleek and Light
The MacBook Pro is the exact same size (0.61 by 13.75 by 9.48 inches, HWD) and weight (4.02 pounds) as last year's model.
Downward-Firing Speakers
The sound system offers richly detailed and impressively loud audio. The chassis has a total of four speaker outlets: two upward-firing grilles that flank the keyboard, and two downward-firing slots (along the edges, on the chassis bottom) that add bass.
