The 6100 doesn’t quite reach the same levels as the Iris Pro GPU in the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but it’s good enough to handle most of what you want to do, unless you're a power user, in which case you’re probably looking at the higher specced 15-inch version anyway. When it comes to graphics the 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with an Intel Iris Graphics 6100 GPU. We did opt for 16GB of RAM-another $240-that helped manage the influx of tasks made possible by this processor. No matter if you go with the i5 or the i7, you’ll still be able to handle almost anything a program could throw at you without slowing down. The 3.1GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7 processor that came in our review unit is an extra $240, but truth be told, it’s probably not entirely worth it without upgrading to the 15-inch Macbook Pro and taking advantage of the Iris Pro GPU. We bumped up the specs of our review unit to get the most out of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. While the main support is for Apple-supplied apps-Pages, Mail, Calendar, and so on-there are a few third-party apps that support this feature as well. Plus, Handoff lets you start something on one device and pick up where you left off on the other. With an iPhone, you’ll be able to take phone calls and send/receive text messages all through your computer. OS X Yosemite-the latest operating system from Apple-is designed to work especially well with iOS 8 (the operating system of your iPhone or iPad). Apple is content shipping you a system that only has a few pre-installed programs-most of which are actually pretty great to use, if you’re invested in its ecosystem.

But, that’s a problem reserved for Windows computers.

When it comes to buying a new laptop you usually have to go through the process of getting rid of the junk that software manufacturers package in with the system. It’s a technology that will only get more impressive as time goes on and developers start to think of new, creative ways to use it. It's a little spooky at how well a few timed vibrations can fool your senses. Now, in iMovie, when you drag to the end of a video clip you get a little 'bump' that feels like you've reached the end. Apple has already begun integrating it into some of their programs. While it may not seem revolutionary at first-a new click, big deal-Force Touch opens loads of possible uses down the road.

Apple might not need to upgrade its screen, but it wouldn’t hurt either. While this was impressive when Retina was first announced, competitors like the Dell XPS 13 come with a 3200x1800 display that barely has a border.

Your photos and videos are going to look gorgeous on the display, while text remains crisp and clear to your eye.

The new Pro packs 227 pixels per inch into its display. Retina display was a pretty big deal when it first hit the market. On the inside, you’ll find the same backlit, chiclet style keyboard, the new Force Touch trackpad, and a 2560x1600 Retina display. With the right adapter you'll be able to connect to ethernet, an external display, and even hard drives or daisy-chain multiple devices without needing a bulky hub. Thunderbolt is the Swiss Army knife of ports and the 13-inch Pro packs two so you connect even more devices. If you take a look on the sides, you’ll find a healthy dose of ports to handle most of your needs: two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports, an SDXC card slot, a full-sized HDMI input, and a headphone jack. It still has the clean aluminum unibody construction and comes in at a cool 3.48 pounds.
