| 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. | The new entry-level $1,199 13-inch
MacBook Pro's significant CPU updates and fantastic battery life are nearly as good as what you get in the more expensive $1,499 version. | While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013. |
