But my pleasure at the speed-up evaporated when I noticed within the first week how fast the machine drained its battery. I bought a 15-inch Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro sight unseen late last year, confident that performance improvements, Apple's superior trackpads and better portability would justify the upgrade from its 2012-era predecessor.
It took six weeks of tech support calls, power usage monitoring and Genius Bar diagnostics, but I'm finally convinced my new MacBook Pro isn't an expensive mistake.Īnd what I've learned along the way can help you, too - regardless of what laptop you're using. Apple's Touch Bar-equipped 15-inch MacBook Pro debuted in 2016.
