| Bottom line | 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. | The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the
MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed. | Apple keeps the latest
MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes. |
