The 13-inch models without the Touch Bar only have two ports – and by the time you're using one for power, just one additional port is not really enough at this 'Pro' end of the market. All the Touch Bar Macs have four USB-C ports, which is at least an acceptable amount. The 13-incher weighs 1.3kg – so it's certainly not in the category of super-light, like a recent 2-in-1, but you really don't notice carrying it around in a bag that much.Īnd yes, it's USB-C that rules the roost here.

So there is no USB-A, SD card slot, DisplayPort, MagSafe power adapter. The chassis of the MacBook Pro is unchanged from 2017. Available in grey or the traditional silver, the latest generation design consists of a 14.9mm thick chassis that dispenses with all traditional ports – save for the 3.5mm headphone jack and USB-C for connectivity and power.

MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?.Not changing the design this time out isn't significant as competitors – like Dell with its competing and excellent XPS 13 – are also choosing to stick with trusted designs. (Pocket-lint) - Apple has revamped its MacBook Pro Touch Bar range, delivering a laptop that's more powerful than the 2017 version, albeit with the same external design.
