Criteria Comments Rating
  • Speed and features Huge improvement all round over the 2011 model, which wasn't slow. good
  • Design and form factor Just look at it! great!
  • Battery life Easily delivers the promised seven hours of useful life. great!
  • Display Was great until I saw the Pro with Retina display. good
  • Durability The case is susceptible to nicks and scratches, purely cosmetic but that matters. good
  • Expandability I know why, but it /is/ short of ports. good
  • Noise In normal use it's totally silent. Play a game or build some software and the fan gets surprisingly noisy. good
  • Portability (size / weight) Fantastically portable - on more than one occasion I've looked in the bag it's in to check if I've even packed it. great!
Detailed review
The nicest laptop I've ever owned. Simply beautiful, and the fantastic service I got from the Apple Store (they just upgraded my 2011 model which was 17 days old with no questions asked) is the icing on an already rather tasty cake.
