| Bottom line | Info unavailable | While the Retina
MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air. | Another year of incremental improvements for the 15-inch Apple
MacBook Pro help it maintain its lead as a useful, powerful, attractive midsize laptop, but the competition is closer than ever to catching up. | 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. |
