You can turn off Force Click entirely if you can't get used to having a "deeper" click, but once other programs start using it, not having it enabled means you may not be able to use some extra features.Ĭonnectivity and Features The MacBook Pro continues to offer excellent connectivity, with an HDMI port, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, an SDXC card reader, and two USB 3.0 ports, along with 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless. At first, I found myself activating Force Click by accident when all I wanted to do was click and drag, but I quickly got used to the sensation and varied the pressure I exerted. So far, Force Click is limited to Apple-built apps, but we can see applications like CAD-engineering packages or video-editing programs benefiting from what is essentially a third mouse-button click. The same Force Click motion can detect addresses and summon Apple Maps, or it can bring up a thumbnail if you're looking at pictures in the Finder. If you're surfing in Safari, the first click will select the text the cursor is parked on, then the deeper Force Click will detect the text, and either bring up a dictionary entry or a Wikipedia article for the word you're looking at. Think of the Force Click function as a second right-click, and you won't be far off.

The Force Touch trackpad is now pressure-sensitive, so you can vary pressure for thicker lines, for instance, when signing your name on the trackpad, or vary fast forward or zoom speeds in programs like QuickTime Player and the Maps program. Older trackpads will have very little click on their top surface (near the hinge, closest to the spacebar), with most of the clicking action happening at the midpoint to the bottom of the trackpad. One nice feature is that the haptic click works on the whole trackpad surface. You can set the click strength in the trackpad control panel (from minimal, to medium, to strong click feedback). Put the new laptop next to the 2014 model, the 2013 model, or heck, even the 2012 vintage, and you'd be hard pressed to tell which is which. The backlit keyboard is still comfortable to use, with a good balance between key feel and solid construction. That's thicker and heavier than rivals like the Acer Aspire S, but lighter than the Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P35W-B3226, when the latter is connected to its keyboard dock. It retains the same aluminum and glass construction, measuring 0.71 by 12.35 by 8.62 inches (HWD) and weighing 3.41 pounds (up imperceptibly from last year). The new MacBook Pro replaces the 2014 version as our Editors' Choice high-end ultraportable laptop.ĭesign In terms of design, not a lot has changed over the past few years for the bigger MacBook Pro.

The mix of speedy performance, bright and crisp Retina Display, more than full-day battery life, and excellent portability are features that professional and enthusiast users crave and are willing to pay for. It might not be of huge interest to you if you're using a 2012 or newer model, but if you're hanging on to that older MacBook Pro with an optical drive, it's a worthy upgrade. But inside is neat update, with a fifth-generation (Broadwell) Intel Core i5 processor and the new Force Touch trackpad, which adds more functionality to your mouse clicks. This year's Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch, Retina Display ($1,299 as tested) looks the same as the previous model.
