'The latest Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina display is still an excellent laptop with a high-resolution screen and enough power for content-creation tasks. '
'The 15-inch MacBook Pro has a brilliant Retina Display, powerful processor and new graphics card options, plus faster flash storage and a new Force Touch trackpad.'
'The base spec is very good, but it’s arguably overpriced and non-upgradeable.'

'While the graphics processing will do quite well for streaming media or loading up graphics-heavy websites, it's definitely not meant for rendering games or 3D models, and may be noticeably slow in some multimedia tasks.'

new, but not necessarily improved
Better-than-HD ultrabook gets smart function keys

What reviews say:
small, fast and in a league of its own
Not a Retina MacBook Air, but awfully close
Eye-pamperingly gorgeous Retina display
While the new Pro with Retina isn’t a huge leap forward from its predecessor in anything except battery life, its generous price drop offers good value and makes ultrabook alternatives look over-priced.
