| Bottom line | Apple's 15-inch
MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price. | While the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a well-built laptop, it's fallen behind the
MacBook Air and Retina Display MacBook Pro in design, lacks higher-end upgrades, and feels too expensive compared with the competition. | Info unavailable | Info unavailable |
