First grip the MacBook Pro


The updated MacBook Pro is entirely consistent with what you can imagine from the images and information in our liveblog. The screen is bright and virtually met in the upper corners. The keyboard is similar to the MacBook Air. The actions on the trackpad is very soft (in fact, the coefficient of friction is lower than in previous trackpads) and the feeling of control is very pleasant. For those who still seek their button to click, do not panic: it is now all the trackpad, which serves as a button. You can even assign a party to the right click. And the new system works as well as the old one.

The dismantling and replacement of the hard drive and battery are facilitated. The power button is smaller (good), and the hinge is strong enough to maintain the display back. The vents in the rear seem a little smaller and better integrated into the hull. The computer is a little thinner, but the gain is not spectacular. The Pro seems solid in every way, even if we could not try to bend in two (too many witnesses), but we have a bit stressed and it seems reasonably strong.

The rounded corners give it a little air MacBook Air, a rather welcome change compared to the sharp edges of previous models. The bright screen is what it is: it is bright, quick to light up, but a little too reflective if you have the sun behind you (and no option matte). Quick verdict: the new MBP is progress on all fronts over the old model.
