While some will grumble, for us it isnвЂ™t really an issue, and if changing the power adapter allows Apple to achieve a generous size reduction, then great. That means you wonвЂ™t be able to use your old MagSafe charger, unless you pay ВЈ9 for an adapter.

Also gone is FireWire and the power input has been tweaked, with a new MagSafe 2 port. Notably, and to save space, there is no Ethernet - although a USB adaptor is available. You'll also find an SDXC card slot and, of course, a headphone jack.

Apple has avoided the PC pratfall of having one USB 2 and one USB 3 socket, thank goodness!ДЄlso, in an exciting first for Apple, excluding the Mac Mini, there's an HDMI output - essential now for flexible video work. The Apple MacBook ProВ also has a new bevy of ports - additions that are long overdue, some would say - and it's good to see that there are now two Thunderbolt ports and two USB 3 ports. Your shoulder and back will thank you for it in the long run. And while itвЂ™s not as light as the MacBook Air, considering its size and power, it is still very impressive. ItвЂ™s also a touch smaller too in all dimensions and somehow AppleВ has lost 500g on the weight in the process - it now weights 2.02kg. Once again, Apple has developed a machine that's both beautifully designed, technologically advanced and expensive enough to be considered only by those who have to have the best of the best. Come Christmas, we suspect your prayers will be answered. For the 13-inch crowd, bite your tongue and wait. If you already use a 15-inch MacBook Pro and itГўВЂВ™s starting to look sad or underpowered then this is the model to go for.

It might be thinner, it might be lighter, but it is still a big beast to take out and about. However for most the idea of lugging around a 15-inch laptop will be too much for most. You're getting a flagship product that your colleagues will be jealous of, and a screen thatГўВЂВ™ll youГўВЂВ™ll want to keep looking at again and again. We would argue that it is actually great value for the money. The cheapest option is Г‚ВЈ1,800 - a premium of Г‚ВЈ300 on the Retina display-free 15-inch MacBook Pro. That said, the time we've spent with it tells us that it's more than just a gimmick, it's a genuine tool for people who use laptops day-in, day-out. It can afford to take risks and in so doing, give us a product that pushes boundaries. And this is where the wealth of Apple comes in. If other firms tried this, they'd show it off at trade shows behind a bit of Perspex but would never risk trying to sell it. Where Apple is different from other manufacturers is that it has taken its dreams and turned them into a product we can buy. There is no doubting that within a couple of years the screen technology seen here will be the de facto screen technology on the entire MacBook range. Apple uses this to show what it can achieve, and what is in store for the future. The MacBook Pro with Retina display is comparable to AppleГўВЂВ™s MacBook Air from 2008.
