Apple MacBook Pro (13-Inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage) - Space Gray (Previous Model)

Simple version. Windows has to be able to operate on quite literally billions of different hardware configurations and support all of them. OS X needs to be able to run on, what 200 different hardware configurations? What this means is that what the Mac does, it does in an unparalleled way. The hardware is top notch. The T2 chip is the future, it quite simply makes this laptop unhackable. ALL hard drive data is encrypted so your data is never on your machine in the clear. Never. No way to hack this machine. Use a strong password and register a couple fingerprints and you can be confident your data is safe. Performance is outstanding for what it is. Splurge for the most memory you can afford it is the one area I wish I had spent more on.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens! This is an amazing product. I am a high school student and it runs super fast! This is great for high School students who use different programs and are expected to have fast connectivity. The battery life also gets me through a whole day of school and in the evening for homework!

Very light and works well!

Excellent!

it works very well fast, stable, stylish design, everyone looks at it when I go with it, generally 5 out of 5 I liked, but I still want a gaming laptop)

Worst mac ive owned. And im never buying another computer off amazon. Battery life is awful. Computer never wants to connect to internet. Touch pad has broken already and had to be repaired. This machine sux!

Really a struggle moving over from a PC think before you consider the change

Ive been using it for almost 2 years and its still in perfect condition, almost the same as new. I absolutely love the digital reader and the touch bar, its very elegant. Highly recommended!

The battery was only keeping 3 hours of charge maximum.

I am writing this review based off of my usage of this laptop, and also wanted to wait a few months of using it before I reviewed. This laptop is amazing and Im still thrilled with the purchase. It remains extremely fast, extremely easy to use, and the battery life has held up very well. I use this computer at work (Im a firefighter in a large city) for my online Masters program coursework, and also use for personal projects and just general usage. It supplements my 2012 iMac quite well and I find myself using this laptop more and more often over the iMac. I don think I have had a single issue with this computer. Very easy setup, the Touch Bar/menu bar is pretty neat with autocomplete and suggestions. I also love the TouchID for passwords and signing in. There is good space and if you have an iCloud and a lot of documents or multimedia you will have no issues with space on this computer. I couldnt be happier and likely next time will buy a larger screen laptop to replace my iMac when it becomes obsolete. Speakers are loud. Only negative is that I cant stand that OFFICE 365 is not part of this package. I dont know anybody that likes using the Apple alternatives like numbers for work. Overall though this is an amazing buy.
