Apple 13" MacBook Pro review: the best computer you shouldn’t buy

It's the best, lightest, most beautiful laptop around. Until it runs out of battery. Or you forget a dongle. Or you realise you're bankrupt

Apple's latest laptop, the new 13in MacBook Pro, is a much anticipated re-design of the company's notebook range and represents a brave new USB-C-only future. But is it worth sacrificing ports and spending the best part of 2,000 to use?

The last update to the MacBook Pro that was more than simply a spec-bump was in 2012 with the addition of a high-resolution "Retina" screen.
