A bigger screen, bigger battery and new keyboard headline a professional Mac laptop, which is a return to form for Apple.

Starting at 2,399 and reaching 5,769 with all the options ticked, its clear this is no ordinary computer for general users.

From the outside it looks practically identical, except its ever-so-slightly bigger than the 15in MacBook Pro.

It has the same four Thunderbolt 3 ports and still has a headphone socket.

The keyboard has different mechanisms under the keys but is otherwise very similar, as is the gigantic trackpad.

The machine now comes with a six-speaker system built into it, which are still laptop speakers and wont replace a set of headphones or a dedicated sound system, but sound phenomenal for what they are.

The butterfly keyboard introduced with the 2015 MacBook was thinner, crisper, louder and with only a small amount of travel.

I quite liked it, but it was plagued with failures due to dust getting under the keys and stopping them from depressing.

The keys are more stable and the travel is slightly shallower than Apples pre-butterfly keyboards, arriving at a nice combination of the best bits of the butterfly and scissor-switch keyboards.

Its also easier to repair, so while it shouldnt suffer from the same dust issues plaguing the butterfly keyboard, at least it should be easier to fix if something goes wrong.

This is something developers in particular have asked for and was a welcome addition for the Guardians developers team.

The Touch ID fingerprint scanner has also been separated from the Touch Bar, which led to far fewer accidental triggers of Siri the first key by default on the Touch Bar when I attempted to authenticate something with my fingerprint.

Rich, bright, easy to use in most lighting conditions, it is individually calibrated at the factory and it has a mode that simulates high dynamic range.

But it is not a true HDR display nor is it 4K, which may be an issue for those looking to work with content in both although most will likely transition to an dedicated edit suite for serious work.

The MacBook Pro does support output to up to two 6K or four 4K displays simultaneously, for those who use this as their sole machine working at a desk.

Battery life on a machine like this entirely depends on what youre using for.

The larger battery was welcomed by the Guardians video team, who said the increased weight was negligible in the grand scheme of things.

The escape key is back by popular demand, as is the T-shaped layout of the arrow keys, while a separated powerTouch ID button is much more user friendly.

You can even fix some things without fully dismantling the machine, which is a step forward.

But if you know you need this sort of capability, then the MacBook Pro is in a similar price bracket to competitors and can be specified with a frankly absurd amount of capacity, which might make the difference.
