There are few direct rivals to choose from too, but there are plenty if your needs are less demanding. It ticks every box a demanding owner could want, and the new Force Touch Trackpad is fantastic. You can go from a desktop setup driving several high-res displays to working on the go with no impediments. The only reason not to is if you don’t need a laptop this powerful. Should I buy the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2015? Few really need these upgrades, but if you think you might then jump straight to the 3.1GHz option, as each step up equates to a meagre 3% or so improvement.

The only other upgrade options are 2.9GHz Core i5 (3.3GHz with Turbo Boost) and 3.1GHz Core i7 (3.4GHz) CPU upgrades.

Most people will find 8GB ample, but 16GB is available as an upgrade, as is a 256GB flash option. In fact, nothing is meant to be user serviceable, though confident users can upgrade the flash storage and several brands sell modules precisely for MacBooks. Of course, the price of thin and light design is very few (if any) user upgradeable parts. The two Thunderbolt ports can drive two 4K displays, either directly or daisy chained.

AC Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 are standard across the range, but you get two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI. One of the main draws of the MacBook Pro over the Air is improved connectivity. It’s not quite all-day battery life, but you can go a good portion of a day and not worry about charging unless you’re doing very taxing tasks. Used normally, we found 7 to 10 hours is about right, depending on how you use the MacBook Pro. That equates to around 12 hours of light web browsing, but closer to ten hours is realistic if you’re viewing more rich content and have more than one tab open. Our web browsing simulation, which refreshes a single page every 15 seconds for an hour, depleted the battery by 8%. That’s less than Apple’s figure, but then it’s using offline, downloaded video, which is obviously less strenuous. That suggests you can get around seven and a half hours of Netflix streaming from the MacBook Pro.

For example, 30 minutes of 3D gaming depleted the battery by 19%, while watching a 55-minute Netflix TV episode depleted the battery by 12% – the screen was set at 60% for both tests, which was comfortable for normal indoor lighting. These claims more or less hold true, though you’ll get a huge amount of variance depending on how you use the MacBook Pro.

It now claims 10 hours of web browsing and 12 hours of iTunes video playback, which is up from 9 hours for both on last year’s model. The battery capacity of the MacBook Pro is the same as before, but improved efficiency means Apple has revised its estimates upwards.
