This is the same selection you get with the Touch Bar-equipped 13-inch MacBook Pro ($1,399.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). All you get is a 3.5mm audio jack and four USB Type-C ports, two on the left edge and two on the right edge. Chief among them is the extremely limited port selection. Some of the familiar downsides to the MacBook Pro's physical design aren't improved with the 2018 refresh, however. You can bet that even if Apple radically changes the MacBook Pro's design next year, the current model will still look very modern. Apple's design decisions are often in the vanguard, with pioneering flourishes like unibody construction and Thunderbolt 3 ports now present on a wide range of both inexpensive and high-end Windows machines. But the MacBook Pro, available in either silver or the darker Space Gray of our review unit, is one exception. Normally, a years-old design would be a downside, especially for deep-pocketed early adopters who want both an Intel Core i9 and a PC that will look cutting-edge for several years.

Other laptops with Core i9 CPUs and similar price ranges are bulkier still. Even though it weighs about the same as the MacBook Pro (4.1 pounds), the ZenBook Pro's taller and wider stature makes it feel considerably heftier. Still, this is by far the sleekest Core i9-powered laptop, even though the chassis design has been around for a few years now.Ĭonsider that the only other Core i9 mainstream laptop we've tested is the Asus ZenBook Pro 15, which comes in at 0.75 by 14.37 by 9.88 inches. Of course, the mobile version of the Intel Core i9 consumes far less heat and requires far less power than the desktop versions. Our review unit is the very same size (0.61 by 13.75 by 9.48 inches, HWD) and weight (4.02 pounds) as last year's 15-inch MacBook Pro. The new MacBook Pro's crowning achievement is shoehorning a much-upgraded processor and a potent graphics chip into the same enclosure as last year's model without changing the physical design.
