What is it:
Premium 17-inch laptop with unibody design
Typical price:
£1,950
We like:
Aluminium unibody construction; multitouch trackpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; dual-graphics system helps boost power or battery life
We don't like:
Slightly awkward trackpad; matte screen option costs extra; switching GPUs is not as seamless as it should be
The judgement:
Apple's reworked 17-inch MacBook Pro joins its 15-inch brother in having a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual-graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance. Overall, it's an excellent laptop with good performance, solid build quality and impressive battery life
